The aim of the study was to find an appropriate method for determination of the attachment degree of polyethylene glycol (PEG) to poly(anhydride) nanoparticles.
The nanoparticles were modified with hydroxy-functionalized or with amino-functionalized PEGs. Three methods for their determination were applied and examined: in particular colorimetry, nuclear magnetic resonance ( (1) H-NMR), and elemental analysis (EA).
The attachment degrees determined by (1) H-NMR and colorimetry were similar. The associated amounts of PEGs estimated on the basis of EA differed significantly than those determined by colorimetry and (1) H-NMR.
The colorimetric determination was considered fast and simple technique, but (1) H-NMR contributed to more precise results.
本研究旨在寻找一种合适的方法来测定聚乙二醇(PEG)与聚(酸酐)纳米粒子的结合程度。
将纳米粒子用羟基化或氨基化的 PEG 进行修饰。应用并考察了三种测定方法:比色法、核磁共振(1H-NMR)和元素分析(EA)。
(1)H-NMR 和比色法测定的结合度相似。基于 EA 估算的 PEG 量与比色法和(1)H-NMR 测定的结果有显著差异。
比色法测定被认为是一种快速简单的技术,但(1)H-NMR 有助于获得更精确的结果。
