Physicochemical Properties of a New PEGylated Polybenzofulvene Brush for Drug Encapsulation

The photo-physical features of poly-6-MOEG-9-T-BF3k-FE could allow the biodistribution of the resulting drug delivery systems to be monitored by fluorescence microscopy techniques, and showed an interesting cytocompatibility in the whole concentration range tested.

Design and development of hyaluronan-functionalized polybenzofulvene nanoparticles as CD44 receptor mediated drug delivery system

The ability of doxorubicin-loaded TCPB nanoparticles (DOXO-TCPB) to be internalized into cancer cells by CD44 receptor mediated uptake was assessed by means of uptake studies in HCT cells.

PEG-benzofulvene copolymer hydrogels for antibody delivery.

Synthesis and characterization of biocompatible thermo-responsive gelators based on ABA triblock copolymers.

These novel triblock copolymers are water-soluble in dilute aqueous solution at 20 degrees C and pH 7.4 but form free-standing physical gels at 37 degrees C due to hydrophobic interactions between the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) blocks; this suggests possible applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering.

Sulfonamide-based pH- and temperature-sensitive biodegradable block copolymer hydrogels.

Since changes in temperature do not induce gel formation in this pH- and temperature-sensitive block copolymer solution, this hydrogel can be employed as an injectable carrier using a long guide catheter into the body and make the OSM-PCLA-PEG-P CLA-OSM hydrogels an ideal candidate for use as an injected carrier for certain protein-based drugs known to denature in low-pH environments.
