20090143486 | CHARGE REVERSIBLE POLYMERS - Described are charge reversible polymers, peptides and their resulting colloidal particles, comprising polymers and peptides having primary and secondary amines that are protected as easily hydrolysable amides. The amides are charge-reversible such that at neutral pH they are negatively charged but become positively charged at pH less than 6 and thus are relatively stable at neutral pH but quickly hydrolyze at pH below 6. Incorporating a drug in a micelle or a polymer comprised of the charge-reversible polymers or peptides provides a drug carrier for delivering the drug preferentially to the solid tumor or other targeted cells. | 06-04-2009 |
20090156771 | Amine-Containing Compounds for Enhancing the Activity of ATRP Catalysts and Removal of the Terminal Halogen Groups from the ATRP Polymer Products - Disclosed are new, highly active and versatile atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) catalysts. These catalysts catalyze ATRP for acrylates, methacrylates, and styrenes at surprisingly low concentrations. These catalysts mediated ATRP at a catalyst/initiator molar ratio at 0.005 and produced polymers with well-controlled molecular weights and low polydispersities. ATRP occurred even at a catalyst/initiator molar ratio as low as 0.001 with metal concentration in the produced polymers as low as 6-8 ppm. Amine-containing compounds, such as triethylamine, can significantly increase the catalyst activity of theses catalysts. The amine compounds can also used to the terminal halogen groups such as Br and Cl in the polymers prepared by ATRP. | 06-18-2009 |

20120177592 | DEGRADABLE THERMORESPONSIVE POLY(ETHYLENE GLYCOL) ANALOGUE MATERIALS - A method of developing degradable linear poly(ethylene glycol) PEG (DPEG) with multiple functioning capacities, which can be used as drug carriers for cancer cell delivery. A DPEG may be effective in targeting cancerous tumors through an enhanced permeation and retention effect (EPR). The DPEG will then degrade in the acidic extracellular fluid of solid tumors leading to fast cellular internalizations, finally degrading in the lysosome for efficient renal clearance. These may be used in conjunction with drugs and/or targeting groups. Furthermore, DPEGs are thermoresponsive, on an as needed basis, making them useful for in vivo application. | 07-12-2012 |
