Application

Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) canbe used:

  • In the formulation ofa non-aqueous drug delivery system for H2S donors to aid thesustained release of the drug.
  • To prepare a polymer blend containing Ganciclovir-loaded microspheresdispersed in PLGA–PEG–PLGA polymer gel. This formulation can be used as asustained delivery system for Ganciclovir drug.
It can also be used to fabricate NO-releasingglucose and lactate sensors.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) targets both underlying factors in glaucoma pathogenesis by reducing elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and providing retinal neuroprotection, whereas the current clinical approaches targets only reducing IOP. Therefore, H2S could be a potential superior candidate for glaucoma pharmacotherapy.

Poly(Glycerol Sebacate) in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

The world of commercial biomaterials has stagnated over the past 30 years as few materials have successfully transitioned from the bench to clinical use. Synthetic aliphatic polyesters have continued to dominate the field of resorbable biomaterials due to their long history and track record of approval with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Biodegradable Polyester-based Nanoparticle Formation by Miniemulsion Technique

Aliphatic polyesters such as polylactide, poly(lactide-co-glycolide) and polycaprolactone, as well as their copolymers, represent a diverse family of synthetic biodegradable polymers that have been widely explored for medical uses and are commercially available.
