“…In this sense, biopolymers of plant origin have been used for developing products to the biomedical field, including polyurethane [3][4][5][6][7][8] . Polyurethane from castor oil is a compound that consists of a prepolymer and a polyol extracted from the seed oil of the Ricinus communis plant, which does not exude toxic vapors and is a biocompatible material [9,10] .…”

To analyze the surface topography and mechanical properties of a polyurethane derived from castor oil reinforced with hydroxyapatite (PU-HA) for bone fixation. The surface analysis was performed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the mechanical properties by Vickers microhardness and tensile tests. The SEM images showed that the PU surface presented important characteristics for materials intended for bone fixation, such as an irregular and porous surface. The analysis showed a surface with alternating areas with depressions and elevations of approximately 80±100 µm, presence of pores of 12 µm in size. The microhardness analysis showed values of 0.42±1.01 HV for PU-HA plates, lower in relation to the poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) plate (control group). The elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength of 317.4 MPa, and 35.57 MPa for PLGA sample, 1.187 MPa, and 0.29 MPa for PU-HA sample. The PU produced showed good surface properties, however demands better mechanical properties.

LIMA, Caroline S. A. Development of biodegradable and mucoadhesive hydrogels for the controlled release of drugs in the bladder cancer treatment 2023. 101 p. Tese (Doutorado em Tecnologia Nuclear) -Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares -IPEN -CNEN/SP. São Paulo.Bladder cancer is the tenth most common type of cancer worldwide and represents 2.1% of cancer deaths. Treatment of bladder cancer is done primarily by a transurethral resection to remove the visible tumor, followed by intravesical chemotherapy, depending on the stage of the disease. However, the instillation of drugs into the human bladder presents some challenges, among which stand out the permeation of the active in the urothelium -a highly impermeable tissue -and the residence time of this drug, which is limited due to the presence of urine that ends up diluting it and washing it thoroughly. Thus, the main objective of this work was to develop strategies to increase adherence, permeation and residence time of intravesical therapy through the application of mucoadhesive hydrogels for the administration of chemotherapy drugs such as gemcitabine hydrochloride. Papain, a proteolytic enzyme capable of breaking peptide bonds of glycoproteins that compose the mucin, was added to the gels in order to favor the permeation of the chemotherapy agent. In this work, it was proposed the use of hydrogels such as gellan gum, CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose) and PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), already widely applied in the biomedical area, due to properties such as absence of toxicity, high biocompatibility and biodegradability. The studied hydrogels were evaluated concerning their mucoadhesiveness and rheological behavior. Possible interactions between the active and the matrices were also analyzed. Preliminary biological tests were carried out aiming to provide specific knowledge about the biocompatibility of the material, in order to investigate its safety for future clinical use. The formulations showed promising results, with mucoadhesion capacity, retention in the urothelium and interaction with the mucin present in the bladder mucosa. The release of the drug substance was sustained for up to 8 hours, extending in a significative way the available treatment nowadays that, in general, tend to be limited by the number of hours in which is possible to avoid patients' micturition. Permeability of the formulations was also increased in the presence of papain. In addition, the formulations presented pseudoplastic rheological behavior and, therefore, suitable for intravesical application. Biocompatibility tests showed low or no cytotoxicity and non-irritability by the formulations, indicating they may be suitable for future preclinical studies. Thus, the proposed formulations constitute possible treatment alternative associated to better quality of life for patients.
