본 연구에서는 항암제 전달체로 응용하기 위하여 천연고분자인 히알루론산(hyaluronic acid, HA)에 소수 성기 도입을 위하여 담즙산(bile acid) 중 하나인 디옥시콜산(deoxycholic acid)(DA)을 개질하여 양친성 공중합체를 제조하였고, 이를 항암제 전달체로 응용하고자 하였다. 디옥시콜산이 결합된 히알루론산(HADA)의 물리화학적 특성은 $^1H$ NMR, FTIR, spectrophotometer와 TEM을 이용하여 측정하였다. 디옥시콜산이 결합된 히알루론산에 항암제(파클리탁셀)를 투석방법을 통하여 봉입시켰고, in vitro에서 KB 세포에 대한 항암활성을 확인하였다. 제조된 디옥시콜산이 결합된 히알루론산이 항암제 전달체로서의 응용 가능성을 제시하였다.

본 연구에서는 고분자 지지체를 만든 후 약물을 흡수시켜 방출 특성을 검토하는 기존의 방법에서 나타나는 초기 과다 방출이라는 단점을 보완하고 장기간에 걸친 약물방출이 가능한 고분자 지지체를 구축하기 위해 광반응 관능기를 갖는 히아루론산과 sodium alginate 유도체로 세포의 성장을 촉진하는 약물을 함입한 미립자를 만들고 이를 성형가공한 고분자 지지체를 제작하여 약물 방출 특성을 검토하였다. 이러한 방법으로 만들어진 지지체는 초기 방출이 억제되고 오랜 기간 동안 지속적으로 약물을 서서히 방출하였으며, 뿐만 아니라 천연고분자가 갖는 생체내 분해 특성으로 인하여 일정한 기간 동안 형태를 유지하며 지지체로 기능을 한 이후 분해되어 재생된 조직이 손상조직과 대체 가능하므로, 세포의 성장과 분화를 유도하는 손상조직 대체용 고분자 지지체 본연의 목적을 달성할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

경구를 통한 약물전달시스템 중 하나인 삼투압을 이용한 삼투정 펠렛의 제조는 타블렛 제형이 갖는 제조 공정상의 복잡함과, 생산비용 등의 문제들을 줄이고자 시도되었다. 삼투정 펠렛은 수팽윤성 시드층과 약물층 그리고 반투막층으로 구성되었으며, 이중에서 반투막층은 약물의 방출을 조절하는 중요한 역할을 한다. 이번 연구에서는 반투막층으로 사용되는 Eudragit RL과 RS의 비에 대한 영향과 코팅두께에 따른 약물방출 거동을 확인하고자 하였다. 모델약물인 니페디핀을 포함한 삼투정 펠렛의 제조는 유동층 코팅기를 이용하여 제조하였으며, 비교적 높은 코팅 수율과 $1300{\sim}1500\;{\mu}m$ 크기의 펠렛을 얻었다. 얻어진 펠렛의 Eudragit RL과 RS의 비에 따른 약물방출 거동을 보면, Eudragit RL의 비가 증가할수록 약물의 방출은 증가함을 확인하였다. 이는 Eudragit RL이 RS보다 친수성 4차 암모늄 그룹을 더 많이 갖기 때문이다. 또한 반투막의 코팅 두께가 증가할수록 약물의 방출이 지연됨을 확인하였다. 반투막과 모델약물의 pH의 변화에 대한 약물방출의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 pH 1.2, 6.5, 6.8, 7.2의 서로 다른 pH에서 실험을 실시하였으며, pH의 변화에 관계없이 약물방출이 안정적으로 일어남을 확인하였다. 이번 실험을 통하여 삼투정 펠렛의 약물방출은 펠렛의 반투막 조성과 코팅두께에 의존함을 확인하였다.

It is well established that dissolution is freruently the rate limiting step in the gastrointestinal absorpton of a drug from a solid dosage from. The relationship between the dissolution rate and absorption is particularly distinct when considering drugs of low solubility. Consequently, numerous attempts have been made to modify the dissolution characteristics of poorly water soluble drugs. Since dissolution rate is directly proportional to surface area, one may increase the rate by decreasing the particle size of the drug. Levy has considered a number of methods by which a drug may be presented to the GI fludids in finely divided from. The direct method is the utilization of microcrystalline or micronized particles. A second method involves the administration of solutions from which, upon dilution with gastric fluids, the dissolved drug will precipitate in the form of very fine particles. A more unique way of obtaining microcrystalline dispersions of a drug has been ercently suggested by Sekiguchi et al. They have first proposed the formation of a eutectic mixture of a poorly water soruble drug with a physiologically inert, easily soluble carrier. When such systems are exposed to water or GI fluids, the soluble carrier will dissolve rapidly and the finely dispersed drug particles will then be released. It has been suggested by Shefter and Higuchi that the formation of crystalline solvate could be a powerful tool in affecting rapid disslution of highly insoluble substances. Goldberg et al. have noted that the formation of solid solution could reduce the particle size to a minimum and increase the dissolution rate as well as the solubility of the durgs. It has also been shown that the rates of solution of drugs were appreciably increased by coprectipitating the drug with soluble polymers. The increase was found to be sensitive to the method of preparation, the molecular weight of polymer and the particular ratio of drugs to polymer. Although several investigations have demontrated that the solubility and/or dissolution rates of drugs can be increased in this manner, little information is available in the literature related to the in vivo absorption pattern of drugs orally administered as PVP coprecipitates. Recently, however, it was demonstrated that both the rate and extent of absorption of the insoluble drug could be markedly enhanced when orally administered to rats in the form of a coprecipitate with PVP. The purpose of the present investigation was to ascertain the general appility of soluble polymer coprectation technique as a method for enhancing the in vitro dissolution rate of hydrophobic indomethacin. To accomplish this aim, the dissolution characteristics of pure indomethacin, indomethcin-polymer physical mixtures and indomethacin-polymer coprecipitates were quantitatively studied by comparing their relative dissolution rates. The solubility and dissolution behavior of these systems were also examined.

The effect of loading dose, plasticiser and PVA molecular weight on naproxen release from hydrophilic polymer matrix was examined. Hydrophilic polymer matrix was prepared with PVA and PVP by adding glycerine as plasticiser. The release of naproxen from polymer matrix was determined in phosphate buffer medium. The release rate of naproxen from the polymer matrix increased as drug loading dose and plasticiser percentage increased. Raproxen released from the polymer matrix showed the time square root kinetics. Without changing the release-pattern, the release rate of naproxen could not be changed by varying molecular weight of PVA. Linearly released time range increased as drug loading dose increased, whereas decreased as plasticiser percentage increased up to 30%.

We prepared temperature-sensitive liposomes (TS-liposomes) modified with a thermo sensitive polymer, such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm), to increase the degree of drug release from liposomes at the hyperthermic temperature. A PNIPAAm hydrogel containing TS-Iiposomes was also prepared to obtain a hydrogel complex at body temperature. In addition, a depot system for local drug delivery using the polymer hydrogel was developed to enhance therapeutic efficacy and prevent severe side effects in the whole body. The PNIPAAm-mod­ified TS-liposome was fixed into the PNIPAAm hydrogel having a high temperature-sensitivity. The release behavior of calcein, a model drug, from TS-liposomes in the PNIPAAm hydrogel was then initiated by external hyperthermia; the results indicated that sustained release as a function of temperature and time was caused by the thermosensitivity of the liposome surface and diffusion of the drug into the PNIPAAm hydrogel. Our results indicated that TS-liposomes in a PNIPAAm hydrogel represented a plausible system for local drug delivery.

생체적합성을 가진 키토산과 강력한 항산화제로 알려진 리포산을 합성하여 만든 양친매성 고분자를 이용하여 약물전달시스템으로서의 응용 가능성을 알아보았다. 수용액 상에서 자기조립의 성질을 가지는 양친매성 고분자는 나노입자를 형성하고 이 입자 안에 항암제로 널리 쓰이는 5-fluorouracil을 고체분산법을 이용하여 봉입하였다. 최적의 약물전달체를 얻기 위하여 키토산에 결합된 리포산의 비율을 조절하여 입자크기 및 약물봉입률을 비교하였다. DLS를 이용하여 측정한 나노입자는 약 250 nm 정도의 크기를 가졌고 그 봉입률은 10% 내외로 측정되었다. 42%의 리포산 치환율을 가지는 공중합체가 약물전달체로서 가장 우수한 성능을 보여주었다.

To overcome the solubility of poorly water-soluble drug, the formation of solid dispersion using a spray-dryer with polymeric material, that can potentially enhance the dissolution rate extend of drug absorption was considered in this study. $Eudragit^{(R)}$ E100 as carrier for solid dispersion is acrylate copolymer that soluble in acidic buffer solutions (below pH 5.0). It was used to increase dissolution of atorvastatin calcium as a water-insoluble drug in acidic environments. In this study, a spray-dryer was used to prepare solid dispersion of atorvastatin calcium and $Eudragit^{(R)}$ E100 for purpose of improving the solubility of drug. Atorvastatin calcium and $Eudragit^{(R)}$ E100 were dissolved in ethanol and spray-dryed. DSC and XRD were used to analyze the crystallinity of the sample. It was found that atorvastatin calcium is amorphous in the $Eudragit^{(R)}$ E100 solid dispersion. FT-IR was used to analyze the salt formation by interaction between atorvastatin calcium and $Eudragit^{(R)}$ E100. Comparative dissolution study exhibited better dissolution characteristics than the commercial drug ($Lipitor^{(R)}$) as control. The dissolution rate of atorvastatin calcium was markedly increased in solid dispersion system in simulated gastric juice (pH 1.2). This study proposed that this solid dispersion system improved the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble atorvastatin calcium.

Electrospun fibers of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were successfully prepared and applied as drug carriers for transdermal drug delivery system. Sodium Salicylate (SS) was the model drug and it was incorporated in the PVA fibers by adding 20 % of SS in a PVA solution prior to electrospinning. Electrospinning of SS-containing PVA solution resulted in the formation of beaded fibers. In order to control the rate of SS release and decrease water solubility of PVA, the SS-loaded electrospun PVA mat was cross-linked by either glutaraldehyde or glyoxal vapor. The morphology, thermal behavior, swelling behavior, release characteristic, kinetics of drug release and also toxicity of the cross-linked sample were investigated.
