Abstract

A novel amphiphilic starch-based polymer carrier (R-St-PEG; R = hexadecyl, St = starch, PEG = polyethylene glycol) was prepared using tapioca starch. It was then applied as an effective carrier for encapsulated drug, and used for sustained drug release. First, tapioca starch was made to react with hexadecane bromide (R 16) for hydrophobic modification, and then the hydrophobically-modified tapioca starch molecules were grafted onto hydrophilic carboxyl-terminated PEG (mPEG-COOH). The drug-loading capacity and drug release behavior of R-St-PEG were systematically evaluated using curcumin as drug. The results show that the polymer has good drug-loading capacity and sustained-release properties, and it can act as an effective drug carrier. Thus, this study provides a suitable platform for preparing stable amphiphilic polymer carriers and broadens the application range of tapioca starch.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
