Abstract
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was successfully grafted to both ends of Pluronic F127 block copolymer (PEO-PPO-PEO) to obtain amphiphilic PLA-F127-PLA block copolymers. The effect of enzymatic degradation on the release behaviors of hydrophobic model drug 9-(methylaminomethyl)anthracene (MAMA) from PLA-F127-PLA nano-particles with vesicular structure was studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy. It was observed that the release rate of MAMA from PLA-F127-PLA nano-particles with the enzymatic degradation varied with temperature due to the activity of the enzyme with temperature. However, the enzyme concentration has negligible effect on the release rates of MAMA.Entities:
