We developed a new hydrophobic polymer based on angico gum (AG), and we produced new nanoparticles to expand the applications of natural polysaccharides in nanomedicine. Phthalate angico gum (PAG) was characterized by H NMR, FTIR, elementary analysis, solubility, XRD, and TG. PAG was a hydrophobic and semi-crystalline material, a relevant characteristic for drug delivery system applications. As a proof of concept, nevirapine (NVP) was selected for nanoparticles development. Plackett-Burman's experimental design was used to understand the influence of several factors in nanoparticles production. PAG proved to be a versatile material for producing nanoparticles with different characteristics. Optimized nanoparticles were produced using desirability parameters. NVP-loaded PAG nanoparticles formulation showed 202.1 nm of particle size, 0.23 of PDI, -17.1 of zeta potential, 69.8 of encapsulation efficiency, and promoted modified drug release for 8 h. Here we show that PAG presents as a promising biopolymer for drug delivery systems.
我们开发了一种基于茵蕉胶(AG)的新型疏水聚合物,并制备了新型纳米粒子,以拓展天然多糖在纳米医学中的应用。通过 H NMR、FTIR、元素分析、溶解度、XRD 和 TG 对邻苯二甲酸茵蕉胶(PAG)进行了表征。PAG 是一种疏水半结晶材料,这是药物传递系统应用的相关特征。作为概念验证,选择奈韦拉平(NVP)用于纳米粒子的开发。采用 Plackett-Burman 实验设计来了解生产过程中几个因素的影响。PAG 被证明是一种多功能材料,可用于生产具有不同特性的纳米粒子。使用期望参数生产了优化的纳米粒子。载有 NVP 的 PAG 纳米粒子制剂的粒径为 202.1nm,PDI 为 0.23,zeta 电位为-17.1,包封效率为 69.8,并促进了 8 小时的药物释放。这里我们表明 PAG 是一种有前途的药物传递系统用生物聚合物。
