Water-dispersible and biodegradable polymer micelles with good antibacterial efficacy.

چکیده
New amphiphilic ABC triblock copolymers have been designed and self-assembled into water-dispersible and biodegradable polymer micelles, which exhibit good antibacterial activities without quaternary ammonium moieties or the loading of any external antibiotics due to the increased local concentration of cationic charge in the polymer micelles compared to the un-self-assembled individual polymer chains.

Fluorescence imaging enabled biodegradable photostable polymeric micelles.
Amphiphilic biodegradable photoluminescent polymers (ABPLPs) composed of a biodegradable fluorescent polymer and methoxy poly (ethyleneglycol) demonstrate intrinsic bright, tunable, and stable fluorescence emission. ABPLP micelles elicit minor cellular toxicity and can be used for cell and tissue imaging both in vitro and in vivo.
متن کاملTarget-specific cellular uptake of folate-decorated biodegradable polymer micelles.
For cancer therapy, folate (FA) and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) decorated micelles based on the biodegradable pluronic F127-b-poly(ε-caprolactone) copolymer were fabricated. These micelles were measured by dynamic light scattering measurements and atomic force microscopy. The in vitro release of doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX·HCl) from the biodegradable polymer micelles was performed in a phosphate-b...
متن کاملA complex of cyclohexane-1,2-diaminoplatinum with an amphiphilic biodegradable polymer with pendant carboxyl groups.
A biodegradable and amphiphilic copolymer, MPEG-b-P(LA-co-MCC), which contains pendant carboxyl groups, was chosen as a drug carrier for the active anticancer part (DACH-Pt) of oxaliplatin to form an MPEG-b-P(LA-co-MCC/Pt) complex. It was able to self-assemble into micelles with a mean diameter of 30-40 nm, and a surface potential near -10 mV. The typical platinum content was 10 wt.%. The micel...

Polymer membranes have been widely used in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR). In this review, various commercially available membranes are described. Much attention is paid to the recent development of biodegradable polymers applied in GTR and GBR, and the important issues of biodegradable polymeric membranes, including their classification, latest experimental...
متن کاملPreparation, characterization and application of star-shaped PCL/PEG micelles for the delivery of doxorubicin in the treatment of colon cancer
Star-shaped polymer micelles have good stability against dilution with water, showing promising application in drug delivery. In this work, biodegradable micelles made from star-shaped poly(ε-caprolactone)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PCL/PEG) copolymer were prepared and used to deliver doxorubicin (Dox) in vitro and in vivo. First, an acrylated monomethoxy poly (ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone)...
