The influence of additives on the delivery of paclitaxel from bioresorbable PLGA films
Published 2013“…The objective is to investigate the use of additives as a means to control and modulate the delivery of paclitaxel from PLGA thin films. The release profiles obtained from the first part of the study with different types of PLGA show linear dependence on the concentration of terminal carboxylic acid end-groups of PLGA, which also regulates the degradation of PLGA films. …”

Release retardation of model protein on polyelectrolyte-coated PLGA nano- and microparticles
Published 2014“…Although liposomes have received considerable attention with PEM coating for sustained drug release, similar results employing PEM built on poly(lactic-co-lycolic acid) (PLGA) particles is scant. In this work, we demonstrate that the build-up pH and polyelectrolyte pairs of PEM affect the release retardation of BSA from PLGA particles. …”

Antimicrobial efficacy testing of antibiotic-containing biodegradable nanopolymers against biofilm and planktonic cells.
Published 2009“…For both pathogens, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 2.8 µg/mL and 16.5 µg/mL total LEV load were found for LEV-PLGA and LEV-PCL, respectively. Minimum biofilm eradication concentrations (MBECs) improved at least 2-fold with increase in exposure time (48 hours) achieving LEV-PLGA MBECs of 1.4 and 0.2 µg/mL and LEV-PCL MBECs of 16.5 and 8.2 µg/mL for E. coli and P. aeruginosa, respectively. …”
