The effect of gamma irradiation on PLGA and release behavior of BCNU from PLGA wafer

Abstract: The objectives of this study were to investigate the influence of gamma irradiation for sterilization on poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) with different molecular weight and the effect of gamma irradiation on the release behavior of 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU, carmustine) from PLGA wafer with various irradiation doses. The effect of gamma irradiation on PLGA was evaluated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and electron paramagnetic resonance (E… Show more

“…To achieve this, CPCs were incorporated with poly ( D,L ‐lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles to act as porogens . PLGA is widely used in the biomedical sector as it is safe and biocompatible . Another advantage of PLGA is that it degrades hydrolytically via cleavage of the ester groups into acidic lactic and glycolic monomer units which are subsequently safely excreted from the body through the Krebs cycle as carbon dioxide and water .…”

“…Os métodos mais utilizados para a esterização são: esterilização térmica por calor seco, esterilização térmica por vapor saturado, esterilização por radiação ionizante e esterilização química, sendo o óxido de etileno (EtO) o composto mais utilizado nessa categoria [263,264]. De um modo geral, aceita-se que um material é estéril quando a possibilidade de sobrevivência de micro-organismos viáveis é da ordem de 10 -6 [265].…”

“…A esterilização por radiação gama é um método que tem-se mostrado bastante eficiente para tratar materiais médicos ou farmacêuticos [263][264][265]268,270]. Devido ao aumento da utilização de dispositivos médicos descartáveis nos últimos anos, houve um aumento considerável na utilização desse tipo de procedimento.…”
