Biodegradable Polymer: Introduction

Image
Definition: A polymer that are degradable in-vivo , either by enzymatically or non-enzymatically, to produce biocompatible or nontoxic by-products. Biodegradation: A natural process by which organic chemicals are converted to simpler compound through elemental cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen and Sulphur cycles. Microorganism plays a central role in the biodegradation process. Bio degradation occur in two steps: 1 st step From Fragmentation of the polymer into lower molecules: By abiotic reaction i.e. oxidation, photo degradation, hydrolysis. By biotic reaction i.e. degradation by microorganism. 2 nd step: Bio Assimilation of the polymer fragments Biodegradability of the polymer depends on Its origin & chemical structure & also environmental condition Biodegradable polymers are capable of being cleaved into biocompatible by-product through chemical or enzyme catalyzed hydrolysis Advantages of Biodegradable polymer: Provide constant controlled r...

PATIENT RELATED FACTORS AFFECTING ON DRUG ABSORPTION

Image
Physiologic Factors Related to Drug Absorption:   The systemic absorption of a drug is dependent on   The physicochemical properties of the drug,   The nature of the drug product, and   The anatomy and physiology of the drug absorption site.  1. Membrane Physiology A. Nature of Cell Membrane  The fluid mosaic model, proposed by , explains the transcellular diffusion of polar molecules.   According to this model, the cell membrane consists of globular proteins embedded in a dynamic fluid, lipid bilayer matrix. These proteins provide a pathway for the selective transfer of certain polar molecules and charged ions through the lipid barrier.  As shown in , transmembrane proteins are interdispersed throughout the membrane. Two types of pores of about 10 nm and 50 to 70 nma were inferred to be present in membranes based on capillary membrane transport studies. These small pores provide a channel through which water, ions, and dissol...
