At CD Formulation, we utilize our expertise in engineering biocompatible block copolymer micelles to develop innovative drug delivery systems for a range of biologics like cytokines, enzymes and gene therapies. These technologies overcome the challenges in developing injectable formulations.
Block copolymer micelles are polymer aggregates with a size less than 100 nanometers that are self-assembled by amphiphilic molecules. They consist of a hydrophobic core surrounded by a hydrophilic shell. This core-shell structure allows block copolymer micelles to efficiently encapsulate and deliver hydrophobic compounds including peptides, proteins and nucleic acids. Their nanoscale size enables prolonged circulation and passive targeting of tumors. Incorporation of stimuli-responsive blocks facilitates controlled intracellular release.
|
In this method, a block copolymer and the peptide/protein of interest are dissolved in a common solvent. The solvent is then evaporated, resulting in the self-assembly of the copolymer into micelles encapsulating the biomolecules. |
|
The block copolymer and the biomolecules are dissolved in different solvents that are miscible. Upon mixing, the copolymer and biomolecules interact, leading to micelle formation. |
|
A block copolymer and the biomolecules are co-dissolved in a solvent, and the solution is placed in a dialysis bag or dialysis membrane. The solvent is allowed to diffuse out, leaving behind micelles containing the encapsulated peptides/proteins. |
|
The block copolymer and biomolecules are dissolved in a common solvent, followed by the addition of a non-solvent. This induces precipitation and the formation of micelles entrapping the peptides/proteins. |
|
The block copolymer and biomolecules are directly dissolved in a suitable solvent, facilitating the self-assembly of the copolymer into micelles with encapsulated peptides/proteins. |
