摘要:
The present invention is directed to a coated biomedical device said micelle having a hydrophilic outer shell and a hydrophobic inner core, or a hydrophobic outer shell and a hydrophilic inner core said micelle comprised of a block copolymer having a HLB value ranging from about 1 to about 40. The medical device may have one coating thereon or multiple coatings. The present invention is also directed to the use of the micelle as a drug carrier.
摘要:
The present invention provides a block polymer which has functional groups on its both ends, and which comprises hydrophilic/hydrophobic segments. As for the functional groups on its both ends, the block polymer has amino group, carboxyl group or mercapto group on .alpha.-terminal, and hydroxyl group, carboxyl group, aldehyde group or vinyl group on .omega.-terminal. Hydrophilic segment comprises polyethylene oxide, while hydrophobic segment is derived from lactide, lactone or (meth)acrylic acid ester. The block polymer of this invention forms a polymeric micelle which is usable as bio-compatible materials.
摘要:
Parenchymal cells are cultivated on cultivated endothelial cells or cultivated fibroblasts which have been separated by a surface of a specific hydrophilic polymer, and which have been patterned. A culture which contains thus formed patterned spheroids of cultivated parenchymal cells is thereby provided by this invention. This culture maintains a function which is specific to the parenchymal cells over a long period of time.
摘要:
This invention provides a method to effectively incorporate inorganic fluorescent substance or inorganic contrast medium into latex polymer particles which are used for diagnostic test or the like, and also provides thus produced fluorescent substance-containing latex polymer particles which show decreased non-specific adsorption of protein or the like. Said latex polymer particles are produced by making latex-forming monomer, macromer which has at least a hydrophilic polymer segment and an inorganic fluorescent substance or an inorganic contrast medium co-existent simultaneously in an aqueous medium, and subjecting them to a polymerization reaction.
摘要:
This invention provides a finely particulate composite wherein a fine particle of block copolymer having a poly(ethyleneglycol) chain segment and a poly(meth)acrylate ester chain segment containing, on its side chain, a tertiary amino group and/or a secondary amino group has, encapsulated therein, a carbon compound, e.g., fullerene or carbon nanotube which may contains, encapsulated therein, a metal. This composite is water-soluble, and is usable as an active oxygen scavenger. This composite, when it has a metal encapsulated therein, is usable as a contrast medium.
摘要:
A crosslinked polymer or polymer fine particles which can be obtained through copolymerization of at least a macromonomer having a polyethylene glycol segment, a comonomer having tertiary amine groups in its side chains and a crosslinking agent are provided. Said crosslinked polymer can be provided in the form of polymer nano- or micro-spheres; and also as conjugate nano- or micro-spheres with their core parts fixing or encapsulating metal or semiconductor ultrafine particles.
摘要:
A stabilized dispersion of metal fine particles comprising, fine particles of metal which is obtained by reducing at least one metallic acid or salt thereof selected from the group consisting of haloauric acid, haloplatinic acid, silver nitrate and halorhodic acid by a reducing agent in the aqueous solution of (1) R-PEG-SX [R is a functional group selected from the group consisting of acetal, aldehyde, hydroxyl group, amino group, carboxyl group, active ester group, azide group, biotin group, monosaccharide, oligosaccharide, amino acid, nucleic acid, allyl group, vinyl benzyl group, methacryloyl group and acryloyl group, PEG is —(CH2CH2O)n—, X is H or pyridylthio group] or (2) R-PEG/PAMA (given structural formula A), and said fine particles load a polymer having PEG unit possessing above mentioned functional group on the surface.
摘要:
Modified polymers containing a poly(2-hydroxyethyl(meth)acrylate) chain as the hydrophilic polymer segment in which a hydrophobic polymer chain or a lipid residue of a sterol is bound to either end of the poly(2-hydroxyethyl(meth)acrylate) chain through a covalent bond or in which the poly(2-hydroxyethyl(meth)acrylate) chain is grafted onto the backbone chain at either end thereof. These modified polymers are excellent in compatibility with liquid or a living body, thus being advantageously usable particularly in medical fields.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a bifunctional polyether having groups different from each other at both ends, with a polymerization degree of 5 to 10000 and consisting of repeating units each represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## (wherein R.sub.1, represents a hydrogen atom, halogen atom, or a lower alkyl group optionally substituted by a halogen atom, and R.sub.1 in each repeating unit may be the same or different), as well as to a process for the preparation thereof and a polymerization initiator therefor. The process of production and polymerization initiator of the present invention enable 100% introduction of a primary amino group into one of the ends of polyether.
摘要:
A substrate surface on which either a substance to detect analyte or an analyte per se is immobilized, which surface is formed by a treatment of substrate surface with a liquid which contains uncrosslinked polymer based on polyethylene glycol chain segment, said treatment conducted either simultaneously with the immobilization of said substance or analyte or after said substance or analyte has been immobilized on said surface. The non-specific adsorption of impurity protein or the like which is co-existent in sample for assay is significantly restrained.
