Snyder, Brittany L. published the artcileDrug Delivery and Drug Efficacy from Amorphous Poly(thioether anhydrides), Product Details of C17H28O8S4, the main research area is polythioether anhydride drug delivery efficacy; drug delivery; lidocaine; poly(thioether anhydride); surface erosion.
The correlation between erosion and drug (lidocaine and 6-mercaptopurine, 6-MP) release from amorphous poly(thioether anhydrides), which are synthesized using radical-mediated thiol-ene polymerization, is reported. Cytotoxicity studies of the polymer toward human fibroblast human dermal fibroblasts adult, melanoma A-375, and breast cancer MCF-7 cells are conducted, and drug efficacy of a cancer and autoimmune disease drug (6-MP) when released from the poly(thioether anhydrides) is examined against two cancerous cell types (A-375 and MCF-7). Erosion and drug release studies reveal that lidocaine release is governed by network erosion whereas 6-MP is released by a combination of erosion and diffusion. The cytotoxicity studies show that all three cell types demonstrate high viability, thus cytocompatibility, to poly(thioether anhydrides). Toxicity to the material is dose dependent and comparable to other polyanhydride systems. The 6-MP cancer drug is shown to remain bioactive after encapsulation in the poly(thioether anhydride) matrix and the polymer does not appear to modify the efficacy of the drug.
