Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)

Description:
Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is a biodegradable copolymer composed of lactic acid and glycolic acid monomers. It is characterized by its biocompatibility, making it suitable for various biomedical applications, including drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and sutures. PLGA's properties can be tailored by adjusting the ratio of lactic to glycolic acid, which influences its degradation rate and mechanical strength. Typically, PLGA exhibits a glass transition temperature that allows it to remain flexible at physiological temperatures. The degradation of PLGA occurs through hydrolysis, leading to the gradual release of the encapsulated drugs or the breakdown of the polymer into non-toxic byproducts, primarily lactic and glycolic acids, which are naturally metabolized by the body. Additionally, PLGA can be processed into various forms, such as microspheres, films, and scaffolds, enhancing its versatility in medical applications. Its FDA approval for use in medical devices further underscores its safety and efficacy in clinical settings.

  • PLGA

    CAS:
    PLGA is a biocompatible polymer that is used in the manufacture of implantable medical devices. It is also used as an injection solution and has significant cytotoxicity. PLGA has been shown to be effective in vivo in animal models with breast cancer, hypoglycemia, and bone-disease implants. In vitro studies have confirmed its efficacy as a delivery vehicle for growth factor-β1. Furthermore, PLGA nanoparticles are being investigated as a drug-delivery system for radiation therapy.
