Crosslinked polyacrylamide and polyvinylpyrrolidone gels have been used to subcutaneously implant (125)I-labeled immunoglobulin, (125)I-labeled luteinizing hormone, (125)I-labeled bovine serum albumin, (125)I-labeled insulin, [(3)H]prostaglandin F(2alpha), and Na(125)I into hamsters. From the rates of absorption of the solutes, their diffusion coefficients were determined. The diffusion coefficients showed a logarithmic dependence on implant polymer concentration and solute molecular weight. Release of the solutes from gel preparations incubated 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) at 37 degrees revealed a similar relationship between solute diffusion coefficient, molecular weight, and the concentration of polymer. A general equation was derived that gives the expected diffusion coefficient of a substance in a polymer gel from its molecular weight, diffusion coefficient in solvent, and polymer concentration of the gel.
交联聚丙烯酰胺和聚乙烯吡咯烷酮凝胶已被用于将(125)I标记的免疫球蛋白、(125)I标记的促黄体生成素、(125)I标记的牛血清白蛋白、(125)I标记的胰岛素、[(3)H]前列腺素F(2α)和碘化钠皮下植入仓鼠体内。根据溶质的吸收速率,测定了它们的扩散系数。扩散系数对植入聚合物浓度和溶质分子量呈对数依赖性。在37℃下于10 mM磷酸盐缓冲液(pH 7.2)中孵育的凝胶制剂中溶质的释放显示,溶质扩散系数、分子量和聚合物浓度之间存在类似关系。推导了一个通用方程,该方程可根据物质的分子量、在溶剂中的扩散系数以及凝胶的聚合物浓度,给出其在聚合物凝胶中的预期扩散系数。
