Abstract:
There are here disclosed a resin composition comprising a block or a graft copolymer (A) having a polyamino acid as a hydrophilic segment (a-1), and a degradable polymer as a hydrophobic segment (a-2), and a resin (B); and a method of accelerating the hydrolysis of a resin and inhibiting the heat deterioration thereof by mixing this copolymer (A) with the resin (B).
Abstract:
A sustained releasing drug which includes an effective component and a copolymer having a weight-average molecular weight of 1,000 to 100,000 which comprises, as repeating structure units, both of a succinimide unit represented by the structural formula (1) and a hydroxycarboxylic acid unit represented by the structural formula (2) wherein R is a methyl group or a hydrogen atom, and a process for preparing a copolymer which comprises a polymerization step of heating a mixture of aspartic acid and a cyclic ester compound.

Abstract:
A medical composition is here disclosed which comprises a hydroxy acid-based oligomer (A) and a drug (B), wherein the hydroxy acid-based oligomer (A) is an oligomer in which the carboxylic acid-terminals are at least partially esterified, and the oligomer (A) has a function of becoming pH 5 to 8 when administered into an organism, and the oligomer (A) shows fluidity at 25° C. This composition sustainedly releases the drug (B) to deliver it into an organism by a syringe or the like, and scarcely gives rise to irritation, inflammation or the like.
