Poloxamer, block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide was crosslinked by diisocyanates and triisocyanates to form water-swellable, physically strong, rubber-like elastic, high biocompatible polyurethanes. The isocyanate-hydroxyl stoichiometry was kept 1:1, but the crosslinking density was varied. The variations examined were the ratio of diisocyanate and triisocyanate. The delivery of two drugs of different water solubilities from hydrogel matrices was studied. It appeared that the drug nature greatly influenced its release kinetics possibly due to drug-polymer interactions. The release profiles, however, could be modified to a great extent by adjusting the polymer network structure Generally the high crosslinking density was required for prolonged drug delivery.

Polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol and block copolymer of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol were crosslinked by triisocyanate to form water swellable, rubbery polymer. The equilibrium swelling of the hydrogels ranged from 3% to 60% according to the hydrophobic-hydrophilic properties of the prepolymers. Model drugs, sodium salicylate and prednisolone were incorporated in the polymer matrices by swelling loading. Physical properties of the drugs affected the drug release mechanisms due to the change in the swelling behaviors of the polymeric devices. Zero order release was observed in the case of relatively hydrophobic polymer matrices.

Ethinylestradiol (EE)-containing matrix was fabricated with ethylene-vinyl acetate(EVA) copolymer to control the release of the drug, Effect of addition of PEG 400 as receptor solution, the stripping of skin and Azone pretreatment on skin on the permeation of EE through the excised mouse skin was also studied. The permeation rate of EE through the excised mouse skin was affected by the PEG 400 volume fraction. The Azone pretreatment on skin didn't affect on the steady state flux, however, the lag time was shortened. The permeation rate of EE through the stripped skin was much larger than that through the whole skin. It showed that the stratum corneum acts as a barrier of skin permeation. The fact that there is little difference in EE permeation between the intact skin and the stripped skin with EVA membrane shows the permeation of EE through the mouse skin is mainly controlled by the membrane.

단백질 전달체로 이용하기 위한 폴리(에틸렌 글리콜)-폴리(락타이드-co-글리콜라이드) 공중합체는 카비톨 (134 g/mole)과 550, 2000 및 5000g/mole의 각기 다른 분자량을 가진 메톡시 폴리(에틸렌 글리콜)을 개시제로 하여 촉매인 Sn(Oct)$_2$를 사용하여 L-락타이드와 글리콜라이드의 개환중합에 의해 합성되었다. $^1$H-NMR, GPC, 그리고 XRD를 이용하여 합성된 블록 공증합체의 특성을 결정하였다. 이식형 웨이퍼를 준비하기 위하여 동결분쇄기를 이용하여 형광이 결합된 1% 소 혈청 알부민과 고분자를 균일 혼합 후에 3mm${\times}$1mm의 크기로 웨이퍼를 제조하였다. 형광 알부민의 방출 거동과 pH 변화는 pH 7.4의 인산염완충용액을 이용하여 37$^{\circ}C$, 100rpm의 항온조에서 30일 동안 관찰하였다. 알부민의 방출양은 형광분광기를 통하여 FITC의 강도에 의해 결정되었다. 알부민의 방출 거동은 블록 공중합체내에서 MPEG의 분자량이 증가할수록 빠른 초기방출을 보였고, PLGA의 분자량을 조절함으로서 약물의 방출기간을 결정할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 생분해성 PLGA에 친수성인 MPEG의 도입을 통해 약물의 방출거동을 조절할 수 있었다.

MPEG-PCL의 결정성과 열적특성은 X선 굴절계와 시사주차열량계를 통하여 분석하였다 모델 단백질로서 알부민 (FITC-BSA, albumin bovine-fluorescein isothiocyanate)과 블록 공중합체를 동결 제분 후, 직접압축 성형방법에 의해 웨이퍼를 제조하였다. 알부민의 방출은 pH 7.4 인산염완충액을 사용하여 37$^{\circ}C$에서 14일 동안 관찰하였다. 알부민의 방출양은 형광분광기를 통하여 FITC의 강도에 의해 결정되었다. 웨이퍼의 형태학적 관찰은 디지털 카메라와 전자주사현미경을 통하여 관찰하였다. 알부민의 방출 속도와 초기 burst는 MPEG-PCL 블록 공중합체의 분절 내에서 폴리(에틸렌 글리롤)의 분자량이 증가할수록 또한 폴리카프로락톤의 분자량이 감소할수록 많은 초기방출과 단축된 방출기간을 보였다.

A triblock copolymer based on $poly(\varepsilon-caprolactone)$ (PCL) as the hydrophobic part and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as the hydrophilic portion was synthesized by a ring-opening mechanism of ${\varepsilon}-caprolactone$ with PEG containing a hydroxyl group at bot h ends as an initiator. The synthesized block copolymers of PCL/PEG/PCL (CEC) were confirmed and characterized using various analysis equipment such as 1H NMR, DSC, FT-IR, and WAXD. Core-shell type nanoparticles of CEC triblock copolymers were prepared using a dialysis technique to estimate their potential as a colloidal drug carrier using a hydrophobic drug. From the results of particle size analysis and transmission electron microscopy, the particle size of CEC core-shell type nanoparticles was determined to be about 20-60 nm with a spherical shape. Since CEC block copolymer nanoparticles have a core-shell type micellar structure and small particle size similar to polymeric micelles, CEC block copolymer can self-associate at certain concentrations and the critical association concentration (CAC) was able to be determined by fluorescence probe techniques. The CAC values of the CEC block copolymers were dependent on the PCL block length. In addition, drug loading contents were dependent on the PCL block length: the larger the PCL block length, the higher the drug loading content. Drug release from CEC core-shell type nanoparticles showed an initial burst release for the first 12 hrs followed by pseudo-zero order release kinetics for 2 or 3 days. CEC-2 block copolymer core-shell type nanoparticles were degraded very slowly, suggesting that the drug release kinetics were governed by a diffusion mechanism rather than a degradation mechanism irrelevant to the CEC block copolymer composition.

The aim of this work was to prepare porous osmotic pump tablets for controlled delivery of Aceclofenac. Aceclofenac solid dispersion was prepared to improve the solubility by using the drug - carrier (Mannitol) ratio of 1:1. The osmotic pump tablets were prepared using the solid dispersed product of Aceclofenac. The formulation contains potassium chloride as osmotic agent, cellulose acetate as semipermeable membrane, poly ethylene glycol (PEG 4000) as pore former and sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) as solubility enhancer. The formulations were designed by the general factors such as osmotic agent and pore former. All formulations were evaluated for various physical parameters and, the in vitro release studies were conducted as per USP. The drug release kinetic studies such as zero order, first order, and Higuchi and Korsmeyer peppas were determined and compared. All the formulations gave more controlled release compared to the marketed tablet studied. Numerical optimization techniques were applied to found out the best formulation by considering the parameter of in vitro drug release kinetics and dissolution profile standards. It was concluded that the porous osmotic pump tablets (F7) composed of Aceclofenac solid dispersion/Potassium chloride/Lactose/Sodium lauryl sulphate/Magnesium Stearate (400/40/95/10/5, mg/tab) and coating composition with Cellulose acetate/ PEG 4000 (60/40 %w/w) is the most satisfactory formulation. The porous osmotic pump tablets provide prolonged, controlled, and gastrointestinal environment-independent drug release.

A polymeric micelle, based on the poly(benzyl-L-histidine)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (polyBz-His-b-PEG) diblock copolymer, was designed as a tumor-specific targeting carrier. The micelles (particle size: 67-80 nm, critical micelle concentration (CMC); 2-3 $\mu$g/mL) were formed from the diafilteration method at pH 7.4, as a result of self-assembly of the polyBz-His block at the core and PEG block on the shell. Removing benzyl (Bz) group from polyBz-His block provided pH-sensitivity of the micellar core; the micelles were physically destabilized in the pH range of pH 7.4-5.5, depending on the content of the His group free from Bz group. The ionization of His group at a slightly acidic pH promoted the deformation of the interior core. These pHdependent physical changes of the micelles provide the mechanism for pH-triggering anticancer drug (e.g., doxorubicin: DOX) release from the micelle in response to the tumor’s extracellular pH range (pH 7.2-6.5).
