Poly(glycolide) multi-arm star polymers: Improved solubility via limited arm length.
2010
Due to the low solubility of poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), its use is generally limited to the synthesis of random copolyesters with other hydroxy acids, such as lactic acid, or to applications that permit direct processing from the polymer melt. Insolubility is generally observed for PGA when the degree of polymerization exceeds 20. Here we present a strategy that allows the preparation of PGA-based multi-arm structures which significantly exceed the molecular weight of processable oligomeric linear PGA (<1000 g/mol). This was achieved by the use of a multifunctional hyperbranched polyglycerol (PG) macroinitiator and the tin(II)-2-ethylhexanoate catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of gly…
Stopped-flow Fourier-transform infra-red spectrometric speciation of glycolic and lactic acids in cosmetic formulations
2001
The dermatological activity of cosmetic formulations containing alpha-hydroxyacids depends on their different chemical forms, and it is therefore useful to determine these species in the finished products. In the present report a new procedure for studying the protonation equilibria of glycolic and lactic acids by stopped-flow Fourier-transform infra-red (FTIR) spectrometry is described. The procedure was validated for use in the speciation of glycolic and lactic acids in cosmetic formulations, with preferential attention given to glycolic acid, which is the most widely used. Species of these alpha-hydroxyacids can be approximately determined at different pHs and the total content of each a…

EMATURIA - Il termine “ematuria” indica la presenza di globuli rossi (GR) nelle urine. Può essere visibile a occhio nudo (macroematuria o ematuria macroscopica) o solo al microscopio (microematuria)5 LA COLICA RENALE - La colica reno-ureterale, nella sua manifestazione tipica, è un dolore acuto che dalla regione lombare s’irradia, anteriormente, al fianco e alla regione inguinale omolaterale (fino al testicolo nell’uomo, alle grandi labbra nelle donne). Talvolta si associa a nausea e vomito, ematuria e sintomi disurici (similcistitici). Ha una durata variabile da alcuni minuti ad alcune ore. L’alvo può essere temporaneamente chiuso ai gas. Eventuali brividi e febbre indicano un’infezione se…
Synthesis of the aggregation pheromone of the Colorado potato beetle from its degradation product
2015
Incubation of the Colorado potato beetle aggregation pheromone, (S)-1,3-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethyl-6-octen-2-one, with antennal or leg extracts from this beetle gave 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one as the major product. This ketone was used as a substrate in a stereoselective synthesis of the pheromone. It was attached to the butanediacetal of glycolic acid with good stereoselectivity and the desired isomer was further enriched by purification of the product of this reaction on silica gel.

Hyaluronic acid and its derivatives in drug delivery and imaging: Recent advances and challenges.
2015
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a biodegradable, biocompatible, nontoxic, and non-immunogenic glycosaminoglycan used for various biomedical applications. The interaction of HA with the CD44 receptor, whose expression is elevated on the surface of many types of tumor cells, makes this polymer a promising candidate for intracellular delivery of imaging and anticancer agents exploiting a receptor-mediated active targeting strategy. Therefore, HA and its derivatives have been most investigated for the development of several carrier systems intended for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Nonetheless, different and important delivery applications of the polysaccharide have also been described, including gene …
Predictability of drug encapsulation and release from propylene carbonate/PLGA microparticles.
2020
Abstract Key parameters for microparticle-based parenteral depot formulation development are entrapment efficiency and sustained drug release, which both depend on the intermolecular affinity of the components. Here, partial solubility parameters were evaluated as descriptors for 21 drug substances and 3 polymers in propylene carbonate (PC). Out of these 21 drug substances, eight BCS class II substances (celecoxib, clotrimazole, erythromycin, ibuprofen, indomethacin, itraconazole, lopinavir and ritonavir) were encapsulated using PLGA (Poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide)) as polymer matrix and PC as a polar aprotic solvent in order to assign microparticle properties to potential affinity-related i…
Microparticle preparation by a propylene carbonate emulsification-extraction method
2018
Abstract The use of various harmful organic solvents for microparticle formulations is still widespread. Here, an alternative low toxicity solvent (propylene carbonate; PC) is proposed for the preparation of poly(lactic-co-glycolic-acid) (PLGA) microparticles. Based on the classical emulsification-solvent extraction methodology, the use of PC offers the unique advantage of an additional solvent extraction step using hydrolytic solvent cleavage during microparticle preparation. Spherical, rough-surfaced microparticles were obtained with a volume median diameter range from 20 to 60 µm. The residual PC content has been identified to be the major factor for the solidification hindrance, leading…
PLGA nanoparticles are effective to control the colonic release and absorption on ibuprofen.
2018
The oral controlled release (CR) formulations have become more important in recent years. Among them, the polymeric nanoparticles have been thoroughly studied during the last decades, consequently they are extensively employed for a broad range of applications and drugs. The objective of this research was to develop polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) of ibuprofen with poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) as polymer, and to test their applicability for oral CR formulations development. Different proportions of drug/polymer were employed to develop the ibuprofen NPs and their in vitro release profiles were analysed. The in situ segmental permeability of ibuprofen was tested in Wistar rat and demon…
