In Situ Incorporation of Praziquantel in Polymer Microparticles through Suspension Polymerization for Treatment of Schistosomiasis

Schistosomiasis is one of the major public health problems worldwide. Even though this is a common illness among preschool children in poor countries, treatment is carried out mainly through the administration of praziquantel tablets, which has some disadvantages, such as the strong bitter taste. As an alternative to overcome this problem, the development of new encapsulated praziquantel formulations is demanded. For this reason, suspension polymerizations are carried out for the in situ encapsulation of praziquantel into polymer microparticles, using methyl methacrylate (MMA) and cationic compounds (diethylaminoethyl methacrylate, DEAEMA, and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, DMAEMA) as comonomers. This technique allows for the preparation of polymer microparticles with high encapsulation efficiencies (>90%) with characteristic sizes ranging from 0.5 to 1500 µm. Drug release profiles show that praziquantel is released from poly(methyl methacrylate) microparticles slowly due to the existence of strong diffusional resistance. On the other hand, the addition of cationic comonomers renders polymer particles sensitive to pH variations, allowing for faster release of praziquantel in acidic environments, as found in the stomach.

One Pot Synthesis of Surface PEGylated Core–Shell Microparticles by Suspension Polymerization with Surface Enrichment of Biotin/Avidin Conjugation

Core–shell microparticles that consist of poly(vinyl neodecanoate) (VND) crosslinked with poly(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (EGDMA) as the core and poly(ethylene glycol methacrylate) (PEGMA) ( = 360 or = 526 g · mol^?1) as the shell have been synthesized using suspension polymerization by a conventional free radical polymerization process. Interfacial tension and stability tests show that PEGMA acts as an amphiphilic macromonomer and is located on the oil/water interface of the suspension system, thus forming an outer layer during the polymerization. Kinetic studies of the monomers' conversion of VND, EGDMA, and PEGMA have been carried out using ¹H NMR spectroscopy. EGDMA and PEGMA were found to have faster reaction rates compared to VND. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy showed that the polymerization of these particles starts from the shell and finishes towards the core. Consequently, the resulting microsphere is found to have a multi‐layer structure. Biotin was covalently bound to the surface by the PEGMA hydroxy groups. Conjugation of biotin with streptavidin PE (phycoerythrin) was subsequently carried out. Confocal microscopy was used to confirm the presence of fluorescing streptavidin. The amount of avidin conjugated to the microspheres was calculated by the release of a 2‐(4‐hydroxyphenylazo)benzoic acid/avidin complex using UV/vis spectroscopy. One avidin molecule was found to occupy 7 nm² on the surface of the microspheres.

Effect of Initiator on the Incorporation of Graphite into Polymer Matrix During Suspension Polymerization

Summary: The incorporation of graphite into polystyrene (PS) particles produced by suspension polymerization was studied using a monofunctional and a bifunctional initiator, benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(2-ethyl hexanoyl peroxide) hexane (L256), respectively. The results showed that the polymerization rate was affected by graphite concentration when BPO was used as the initiator while no such effect was observed for L256. Results also showed that the incorporation of graphite in the PS particles was higher when using BPO than when using L256. Molecular weight distribution showed that during the reaction with BPO and graphite oligomers were formed indicating that the free radicals generated by the decomposition of BPO presented a very high reactivity with the functional groups present at the graphite surface while no significant effect was observed for the reaction with L256.

Modeling of the Methyl Methacrylate Atom Transfer Radical Suspension Polymerization Process: Polymerization and Particle Kinetics

In this work, a mathematical model is developed to characterize the batch atom transfer radical suspension polymerization (batch suspension ATRP). For the first time, the morphological and molecular properties of particles, as well as their dynamics in methyl methacrylate ATRP can be simultaneously simulated by solving the model that consists of ATRP kinetic equations, moment equations, a phase equilibrium equation for calculating equilibrium monomer distributions in various phases, and a particle population balance model. The proposed model is verified using the open experimental data. Based on the verified model, two key operating factors including the ratios of monomer to initiator and water to monomer are studied in order to investigate the batch suspension ATRP kinetics. In addition, the model is also used to predict the droplet/particle size distribution. The effects of breakage rate, coalescence rate, and agitation speed on the droplet volume density distribution and the Sauter mean diameter are discussed in details. The simulated results demonstrate that the coupled model can describe the batch suspension ATRP kinetics and its droplet kinetics.

     

Polymerization of surface-active monomers. VIII. Tacticity of polymers prepared by radical polymerization of quaternary salts of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate in micellar and isotropic media

The effect of monomer micellization on the polymerization was studied from the standpoint of stereochemistry in the polymerization. Quaternary salts (C_nBr) of dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate with n-alkyl bromide having N (=4, 8 and 12) carbon atoms were polymerized with radical initiators in isotropic and anisotropic media and the resulting polymers were converted to poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) to determine their tacticity. Tacticities of poly (C₁₂Br)s were little affected by initiators and solvents used for their preparations. There was little dependence of the tacticities on alkyl chain length (N) for poly (C_nBr)s prepared in water and dimethylformamide (DMF). Most of polymers produced here conformed to Bernoullian propagation statistics and a definite difference was not found in the tacticities between the polymers prepared in isotropic and anisotropic media. From the results obtained here it was deduced that the micellar aggregation has little influence upon the stereochemistry in the polymerization of the quaternary monomers. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

In Situ Incorporation of Doxorubicin in Copolymer Particles During Suspension Polymerization

Summary: This work reports the kinetic behavior and the molecular properties of obtained copolymers during vinyl acetate and methyl methacrylate suspension copolymerizations in presence of doxorubicin. The obtained spherical particles are intended for use as chemoembolization agents. It is shown that the presence of doxorubicin in the reaction medium promotes significant changes in the copolymerization kinetics and final molecular weight averages of the polymer product.

甲基丙烯酸甲酯自由基聚合反应的统计理论研究

在自由基聚合反应中,每个聚合物分子都是经历成百上千次加成聚合形成。由于聚合次数不完全相同造成实际链长的不等性,故由稳态近似法所获得的结果只是一个平均的概念,对反应未达平衡态时不适用。本文运用统计的方法,克服了非稳态方法的限制。通过从任意时间微元扩展至反应结束,获得了甲基丙烯酸甲酯聚合反应相应的统计关系式,如聚合物的数量、重量分布及聚合物的平均分子量等,对深入了解高分子化学反应的本质具有重要的价值和意义。

The First Suspension Polymerization for Preparing Optically Active Microparticles Purely Constructed from Chirally Helical Substituted Polyacetylenes

Suspension polymerization has been extensively utilized with vinyl monomers to prepare vinyl‐polymer microparticles (μm size; denoted MPs) with a variety of morphologies and significant applications. However, suspension polymerization of acetylenic monomers has remained a big challenge. This communication reports the first methodology for performing suspension polymerizations of acetylenic monomers, from which optically active microparticles (OAMPs) are constructed exclusively from helical substituted polyacetylenes. Chiral monomer (M1) and achiral monomer (M2) separately underwent suspension polymerization at room temperature in aqueous media in the presence of Rh‐based catalyst with poly(vinyl alcohol) as a stabilizer, providing MPs (200∼700 mm) in high yield (>80%). The obtained OAMPs, both crosslinked and non‐crosslinked, were characterized by SEM, polarimetry, circular dichroism, and UV‐vis spectroscopy. The chiral substituted polyacetylene chains constituting the MPs were found to adopt helices of predominantly one‐handed screw sense, affording the particles with pronounced optical activity. The MPs derived from achiral M2 exhibited optical inactivity. The present study opens up new opportunities for preparing novel (non‐)crosslinked microparticles derived from acetylenic monomers.
