摘要:
Biomedical uses of amphiphilic macromolecules include the use of such macromolecules in the form of nanoparticle formulations for the sequestration and/or removal of LDL, and for the treatment and prevention of atherosclerosis and atherosclerotic development. The invention also provides the use of amphiphilic macromolecule encapsulates for treating diseases including cancer and inflammation, as well as targeted amphiphilic macromolecules and their use in therapy.
摘要:
An aromatic polyanhydride comprising a repeating unit having the structure is disclosed, wherein Ar and R are selected so that the aromatic polyanhydride hydrolyzes to form a therapeutic salicylate, another non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, an antifibrotic aminobenzoate, or a vasoconstricting phenylethanolamine. Implantable medical devices, such as scaffolding implants for tissue reconstruction, drug delivery systems prepared from the aromatic polyanhydrides, as well as therapeutic dosage forms and treatment methods are also disclosed.
摘要:
The invention provides therapeutic devices comprising a polymeric anti-inflammatory agent that biodegrades to release anti-inflammatory agents. The therapeutic devices are useful for repair and regeneration of a variety of injured tissues.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for forming compounds of Formula HO—C(═O)R1—X—R2—X—R1—C(═O)—O—H wherein compound (I) can be polymerized to provide a polymer that contains therapeutically active compounds. In the compounds of the invention, each R1 is group that will provide the therapeutically active compound upon hydrolysis of the polymer; each X is independently an ester linkage or an amide linkage; and R2 is a linking group.
