A new hydrogel drug delivery system based on Hydroxyethylstarch derivatives

Abstract: A new method has been developed to produce a drug delivery system (DDS) for proteins and peptides. Employing a water-in-water emulsion technique with polyethylenglycol and hydroxyethylstarch substituted by hydroxyethylmethacrylate and a subsequent photopolymerization, microspheres can be produced. This process can be carried out with proteins present in the cross-linkable phase and without the need of any organic solvents. The hydrogel microparticles are promising to fulfil the requirements for a DDS regarding… Show more

“…Initial fast release was probably due to release of drug stored in hydrogel pores or due to release of drug molecules closer to the surface, while slower release in second phase occurred by diffusion of drug molecules through the polymer network. 4,21 This phenomenon of fast release followed by a slow release of encapsulated drug is also reported by other researchers for the same or different drugs. 4,28,29 It was already discussed during the study related to the study of average molecular weight between crosslinks ( ) that decreases as DS increases (Figure 4).…”

“…The presence of imidazole groups in route 2 comparative to unreacted hydroxylethyl (and hydroxyl) groups in route 1 may be the possible reason regarding the decreased solubility of resulting HESHEMA synthesized by route 2. Harling et al and Schwoerer et al 4,26 synthesized HESHEMA by route 1 and reactions were completed by stirring HEMACI and HES for 5 days at room temperature. Here in this study, after a series of optimization reactions of HEMACI and HES conducted at different temperature conditions, it was found that reactions executed at 80 ºC for 24 h (Scheme 1) gave almost same DS as reported by other researchers.…”
