Polyanhydrides: An overview

Kumar, Neeraj, Langer, Robert S, Domb, Abraham J·2002·Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews

Abstract

Polyanhydrides have been considered to be useful biomaterials as carriers of drugs to various organs of the human body such as brain, bone, blood vessels, and eyes. They can be prepared easily from available, low cost resources and can be manipulated to meet desirable characteristics. Polyanhydrides are biocompatible and degrade in vivo into non-toxic diacid counterparts that are eliminated from the body as metabolites. Owing to their usefulness, this review focuses on the development, synthesis methods, structures and characterization of polyanhydrides, which will provide an overview for the researchers in the field. Their in vitro and in vivo degradability, toxicity, biocompatibility and applications are discussed in the subsequent chapters of this special issue on polyanhydrides and poly(ortho esters).

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Poly(amino acid)s have been reported to form nanovesicles after covalent conjugation with PEG and have demonstrated efficient biodegradability, biocompatibility, and pH sensitivity.

    “These hydrophobic polymers have been reported to form nanovesicles after covalent conjugation with PEG. Moreover, they have demonstrated not only efficient biodegradability and biocompatibility [70] but also have pH sensitivity [71].”

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.
