摘要:
Polymers and copolymers having one or more aliphatic polyester groups or blocks. For example, the aliphatic polyester groups or blocks can be derived from a caprolactone such as, for example, ε-caprolactone. The polymers and copolymers can have desirable properties such as, for example, improved solubility and improved thermal properties.
摘要:
Biodegradable poly(ester-amides) are synthesized from amino acids, diols and dicarboxylic acids where one or both of the diols and dicarboxylic acids contain unsaturation; e.g., from di-p-nitrophenyl dicarboxylates and p-toluenesulfonic acid salts of bis(alpha-amino acid) disesters of diols where one or both of the dicarboxylate and diol moieties contain unsaturation or from di-p-nitrophenyl dicarboxylates, and p-toluene-sulfonic acid salts of bis(alpha-amino acid) diesters of diols and p-toluenesulfonic acid salt of lysine ester where one or both of the dicarboxylate and diol moieties contain unsaturation. The polymers are useful as biodegradable carriers for drugs of other bioactive agents.

摘要:
A hydrogel forming system which comprises a hydrophobic macromer with unsaturated group terminated ends and a hydrophilic polymer which is a polysaccharide (e.g., dextran) containing hydroxy groups which are reacted with unsaturated group introducing compound, is convertible by free radical polymerization to form a hydrogel containing a three dimensional crosslinked polymer network containing hydrophobic and hydrophilic components. Agent can be entrapped in the polymer network, e.g., drugs, macromolecules or synthetic or natural polymers, for controlled release therefrom.
摘要:
Graft polymers with reactive groups for linking to peptides for use in tissue engineering and to drugs to provide drug delivery systems and useful per se to release amino acids and useful, for example, for wound closure devices, pins, screws, anastomosis rings, and surgical implants, consist essentially of biodegradable homopolymer or copolymer backbone joined at carbon alpha to carbon of backbone carbonyl group, to side chain amino acid pendant group at a carbonyl moiety of said pendant group wherein said side chain contains reactive amino acid group. The graft polymers are prepared by reacting amino acid halide having other reactive groups protected, with biodegradable polymer containing carbanion on carbon alpha to carbon of carbonyl group, and then deprotecting the protected groups. Biodegradable polymer containing carbanion on carbon alpha to carbon of carbonyl group, for use in preparing the graft polymers herein or for otherwise reacting, e.g., for surface crosslinking, attaching nitric oxide derivatives, attaching biochemicals or for grafting hydrophilic or hydrophobic agents to control the hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity, is prepared by reacting biodegradable homopolymer or copolymer containing carbonyl group and carbon alpha to the carbon of the carbonyl group and having H atom on the carbon alpha to group carbonyl carbon, with a base to form carbanion on carbon alpha to carbonyl carbon.
