Degradation behavior and biosafety studies of the mPEG–PLGA–PLL copolymer
Literature Information
Ying Sun, Jun Cao, Yourong Duan
In a previous study, a novel biodegradable multiblock copolymer, monomethoxy(poly-ethylene glycol)–poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide)–poly(L-lysine) (PEAL), was developed as a new drug carrier material. It is imperative to study the biocompatibility and degradation behavior of PEAL to pave the way for clinical applications. Here, we systematically demonstrated that the PEAL copolymer has the appropriate hydrophilicity and biosafety. The degradation rate of the PEAL films was obtained by observing changes in mass, molecular weight (Mw), Mw distribution and degradation products. The degradation rate was observed to have a highly positive correlation with the pH of the medium and negative correlation with the ratio of lactic acid to glycolic acid (LA/GA). Cytotoxicity tests indicated that the degradation products of the copolymer were non-toxic to cells. In zebrafish embryos, the PEAL nanoparticles had no obvious impact on heart rate, production of reactive oxygen species, mortality, or cell apoptosis, and they were observed to have a long circulation time. Therefore, the PEAL copolymer has great potential for use as a drug carrier material.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
