PLGA – A versatile copolymer for design and development of nanoparticles for drug delivery
Introduction
Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) or PLGA, a highly hydrophobic copolymer comprised of lactic acid and glycolic acid, has been approved in many drug products and medical devices.1 Over the years since the first approved in 1997, PLGA has been widely studied polymer in the industry because…

Thiolated polymers: An overview of mucoadhesive properties and their potential in drug delivery via…
Abstract
Thiolated polymers, or thiomers, are a class of polymers that exhibit unique mucoadhesive properties, allowing them to form strong covalent bonds with cysteine-rich subdomains of mucus glycoproteins. This property makes them ideal for developing drug delivery systems (DDSs) for various dry…
