Abstract:
Provided herein is a class of reversible thermal gel polymers, formulations thereof, methods for using, and methods for making said reversible thermal gel polymers. Reversible thermal gel polymers and formulations are provided having versatile chemical, physical, mechanical and/or optical properties beneficial for a range of applications including medical treatment. In some embodiments, the architecture and composition of the polymer allows for tunable selection of one or more physical properties supporting a particular application.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides improved lipid-based compositions, including lipid nanoparticle compositions, and methods of use thereof for delivering agents in vivo including nucleic acids and proteins. These compositions are not subject to accelerated blood clearance and they have an improved toxicity profile in vivo.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are pH- and temperature-sensitive block copolymer with excellent safety and a method for preparing the same and a hydrogel and a drug carrier using the block copolymer. According to the present invention, the pH-and temperature- sensitive block copolymer comprises: obtained by copolymerization of: (a) polyethylene glycol-based compound (A); and (b) poly (ß-amino ester)-based oligomer (B) or poly (amido amine)-based oligomer (C) or coupling of mixture (D) thereof. In order to control biodegradation rate, the block copolymer is mixed with poly (amido amine)-based oligomer instead of the poly (ß-amino ester)-based oligomer and then coupling them.
Abstract:
New amphiphilic polymers of formula (I) are described; the process for their preparation and their use as carriers for pharmaceutical drugs is also described.
Abstract:
A process to prepare polycarbamate comprising adding urea to a polyol in the presence of at least one catalyst selected from the group consisting of compounds having the following formula M m Z n ; wherein M is a tetravalent metal, and Z is an anionic functionality or a functionality capable of forming a covalent bond with M and wherein n times a valence number of Z equals X and m times four equals Y wherein the absolute value of X equals the absolute value of Y is provided. Also provided are a polycarbamate produced according to the process and a coating composition comprising the polycarbamate.
Abstract:
Improved poly(amido ethylenimine) copolymers for gene delivery are disclosed. One illustrative embodiment includes polyethylene glycol (PEG) covalently bonded to a branched poly (triethyenetetramine/cystamine bisacrylamide) copolymer (poly (TETA/CBA) ). The polyethylene glycol can be linear or branched. Another illustrative embodiment includes an RGD peptide covalently bonded to the poly (TETA/CBA) -PEG conjugate. Still another illustrative embodiment includes a method of using these compositions for transfecting a cell with a nucleic acid.

According to the present invention, the pH-and temperature- sensitive block copolymer comprises: obtained by copolymerization of: (a) polyethylene glycol-based compound (A); and (b) poly (β-amino ester)-based oligomer (B) or poly (amido amine)-based oligomer (C) or coupling of mixture (D) thereof. In order to control biodegradation rate, the block copolymer is mixed with poly (amido amine)-based oligomer instead of the poly (β-amino ester)-based oligomer and then coupling them.
