제목 Release Behavior of BSA Loaded MPEG-PLGA Diblock Copolymer wafers as Implantable Protein Carriers
초록 Biodegradable polymers find increasing applications in the pharmaceutical industry as matrices for drug delivery system.1 Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) as one of the most commercial biodegradable polymers has been used as controlled drug delivery matrix of nano-, micro-particles, implantation, and hydrogels. The introduction of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) in PLGA polymers to deliver more effectively drug could exhibit various advantages such as controlled drug release, improved biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and protein resistivity.2
In this study, we synthesized MPEG-PLGA diblock copolymers using ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide and glycolide with carbitol and PEG as an initiator in presence of Sn(Oct)2. (Table 1) After uniform mixing of diblock copolymers and 1% albumin bovine-fluorescein isothiocyanate (BSA-FITC) as a model protein with a freeze miller, the release profiles of BSA-FITC in PBS showed fast initial burst as the molecular weights of MPEG increased. Also the release behavior was controlled by the addition of additives such as PEG, PVP, Carbopol, and small intestinal submucosa (SIS).
In conclusion, the wafer formed by MPEG-PLGA diblock copolymers could posses a promising foundation for protein delivery.
