EPR Study of Controlled Drug Release from PNIPAM and P(NIPAM-g-PLA) Globules
摘要
Abstract
Spin probe electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy was applied to estimate release kinetic patterns from globules formed in solutions of thermoresponsive polymers poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) and graft copolymer based on N-isopropylacrylamide and oligolactide (P(NIPAM-g-PLA)) containing (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO) spin probe as a drug model. It is shown that the main mechanism of TEMPO release from globules of thermoresponsive polymers in aqueous solutions above LSCT is Brownian diffusion.
