| 摘要 |
The invention provides biodegradable PEAs, PEURs and PEUs that are synthesized by solution polycondensation to include α-amino acids and oligo-ethylene ether segments in the polymer backbone. The polymers can be obtained by substituting oligo-ethylene glycol (OEG) for aliphatic di-acid and diols during their fabrication. Also provided are compositions in which bioactive agents are dispersed in the polymers. The compositions biodegrade by enzymatic action to release incorporated bioactive agents and oligo-ethylene glycol segments, which are fully biodegradable at a molecular weight less than 400 Da. Due to their comparatively rapid surface enzymatic hydrolysis, the compositions can be used to deliver bioactive agents in a controlled manner within a relatively rapid delivery time, such as about 18 to 24 hours.
