Injectable Absorbable Liquid Gel-Forming Systems for Localized Delivery of Therapeutic Agents

摘要

This polymeric system has demonstrated full modularity and the major controlling variables have been identified through extensive in vitro testing. This control can be achieved through a variety of ways including introduction of polymeric additives and end group modification. Future work with this system will include in vivo testing and correlation to in vitro models. The end goal entails a fully customizable platform technology that inputs drug characteristics and desired release specifications and outputs the required polymeric system, which could serve as a delivery vehicle for bioactive agents such as antibiotics, peptides, hormones, and antineoplastics among others.
