Synthesis and characterization of novel thermoresponsive‐co‐biodegradable hydrogels composed of N‐isopropylacrylamide,poly(L‐lactic acid), and dextran

A series of novel multifunctional hydrogels that combined the merits of both thermoresponsive and biodegradable polymeric materials were designed, synthesized, and characterized. The hydrogels were copolymeric networks composed of N‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAM) as a thermoresponsive component, poly(L‐lactic acid) (PLLA) as a hydrolytically degradable and hydrophobic component, and dextran as an enzymatically degradable and hydrophilic component. The chemical structures of the hydrogels were characterized by an attenuated total reflection–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR–FTIR) technique. The hydrogels were thermoresponsive, showing a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) at approximately 32 °C, and their swelling properties strongly depended on temperature changes, the balance of the hydrophilic/hydrophobic components, and the degradation of the PLLA component. The degradation of the hydrogels caused by hydrolytic cleavage of ester bonds in the PLLA component was faster at 25 °C below the LCST than at 37 °C above the LCST, determined by the ATR–FTIR technique. Due to their multifunctional properties, the designed hydrogels show great potential for biomedical applications, including drug delivery and tissue engineering. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

微粉化技术提高水不溶性药物溶解度

药物的微粉化可以改善颗粒的润湿性,进而提高水不溶性药物的溶解度和溶解速率。目前普遍采用的药物微粒化技术主要包括机械研磨、超临界流体过程、低温喷淋和溶剂蒸发沉积过程。本文介绍了这些微粉化制备技术的基本原理以及该类技术的应用进展。     

高分子在生物工程中的应用进展

在生物工程中所用的高分子材料一般统称为高分子生物材料,其涉及的范围很广。医用高分子是其中很重要的一类,另一类就是在生物技术中所用的高分子材料。对于高分子生物材料可根据其材料性质进行分类,也可按使用范围进行分类。如体内应用的材料,半体内应用的材料和体外应用的材料。本文着重介绍了抗凝血材料、药用高分子材料及应用于生物技术中高分子材料的研究进展,并总结分析了这几个研究领域中的发展趋势。     

抗肿瘤药物氮三乙酰肼和金属离子配位能力的研究

本文研究了抗癌药物氮三乙酰肼(Nitrilotriacetic hydrizide,NTH)和生命必需元素以及Al~(3 ),Ga~(3 ),In~(3 )的配位能力并用pH电位法测定了它们在生理条件下(37℃,Ⅰ=150mM dm~(-3)NaCl)的配合物生成常数。电位滴定数据是用ZPLOT,MINIQUAD,ESTA等计算机程序处理的。实验结果表明NTH与它的非生理活性的母体化合物氮三乙酸相比较,对Zn~(2 ),Mn~(2 )等过渡元素的配位能力表现较大的差异性。这种情况在Revercan,ICRF-198,ICRF-236和5-烯去甲基斑蝥酸等其他抗肿瘤活性化合物中也曾观察到。 NTH与三价金属Fe~(3 ),Ga~(3 ),Al(3 )和In~(3 )等有较大的配位能力,这与它的烯醇式结构有关。由于这些配合物在广泛的pH范围内生成,以及它的高稳定性,因此有可能被用作为肿瘤定位试剂或生物体营养元素铁传输的有效载体。

无机层状复合氢氧化物中顺铂-DNA模型分子的选择性插入

药物分子的选择性包裹和控制释放是药物研究领域中具有挑战性的研究方向。本文研究表明:顺铂-DNA模型分子cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂(5′-GMP)₂](5′-GMP 5′-单磷酸鸟苷)可插入无机层状复合氢氧化物[Zn_0.68Al_0.32(OH)₂](NO₃)_0.32·mH₂O。但另一种层状复合氢氧化物[LiAl₂(OH)₆]Cl·H₂O由于其阳离子层中正电荷密度较高、阳离子层与层间阴离子之间静电作用较强,因而顺铂-DNA模型分子不能通过离子交换方式插入其层间。光谱数据证实插入层间的顺铂-DNA模型分子结构不变。这可能为铂-DNA分子的传递提供新的方法。     

Derivatives of pentamidine designed to target the Leishmania lipophosphoglycan

The Leishmania lipophosphoglycan (LPG) is the most abundant cell surface glycoconjugate of a family of infectious protozoa. Pentamidine, a common drug used in the treatment of Leishmania infections, has been modified with boronic acids so that it might bind more selectively to the phosphodisaccharide repeating unit of the LPG. This could serve to target the drug to the protozoan surface and increase its efficacy in vivo.
