Poly(ethylene-co-methyl acrylate)/poly(caprolactone) triol blends for drug delivery systems: characterization and drug release

Abstract: Recebido em 16/2/11; aceito em 5/7/11; publicado na web em 19/8/11Poly(ethylene-co-methyl acrylate) (EMA) and poly (caprolactone) triol (PCL-T) blends, a biodegradable aliphatic polyester with low molecular weight and moderate water solubility containing diltiazem hydrochloride (DZ) were studied in terms of the thermal and morphological properties, and drug release mechanism. An increase in the PCL-T content in the EMA/PCL-T/DZ films decreased the degree of DZ crystallinity. Drug release from these films is te… Show more

“…That diltiazem hydrochloride release of polyethylene-co-methyl acrylate matrices containing PCL-T increase when the study was performed at a temperature of 37 o C. 26 This was explained by the ability of PCL-T fusion at this temperature, a fact that favors the simultaneous diffusion of the drug and the PCL-T matrix. If the release of sodium diclofenac from the matrix was solely dependent on diffusion through the polymer matrix, the release would probably follow a Fickian behavior, which would cause a reduction in the amount of drug released due to time constraints.…”

“…PCL Triol is a biodegradable, semi-crystalline, aliphatic polyester, with low molecular weight and melting point which has been investigated to a great extent as a biomaterial as well as in drug delivery applications [32][33][34]. One reason for this is the degradation products of PCL being naturally occurring metabolites in the human body with sutures composed of PCL being approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [35].…”

“…One reason for this is the degradation products of PCL being naturally occurring metabolites in the human body with sutures composed of PCL being approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [35]. Further to this, low molecular weight PCL Triols have been investigated for their potential to act as plasticizers [33,36,37] with Kanis et al [34] indicating that it is the three hydroxyl groups present which allow it to act as a plasticizer. Furthermore, PCL Triols due to their nature do not possess photopolymerizable terminal groups and therefore cannot crosslink on their own which is why PCL derivatives have been developed [38][39][40].…”

“…PCL-T ( Figure 1) has three hydroxyl groups, which are able to plasticize some natural polymers, such as soy protein and cellulose acetate, and modify the drug-release properties of poly(ethylene-co-methyl acrylate) at body temperature. [17][18][19] PCL-T/cellulose acetate butyrate blends could become a novel polymeric material for implantable drug-delivery systems. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the miscibility, mechanical, and water-swelling properties of semi crystalline CAB and PCL-T as well as the inflammatory response they induce in vivo.…”
