By use of four types of in vivo degradable polylactic acid (PLA), i.e. PLA with an average molecular weight of 1500 (1500DL), 2200 (2200DL), 2800 (2800DL) and 3500 (3500DL), preparations of bleomycin (BLM)-containing solid forms (polymers) were tested. The in vitro release of BLM from the polymers was also examined in an immersion system. By the melt-pressing technique, five types of BLM (2.5 mg) containing solid forms, i.e. 1500DL polymer, 2200DL polymer, 2800DL polymer, 3500DL polymer and 1500DL + 3500DL (a mixture of 1500DL and 3500DL) polymer were prepared. In all five types of polymers, cumulative BLM release was controlled to less than 5% by the third day and no initial burst of the release was observed. BLM release from the polymer continued for 3 weeks at the shortest and 6 weeks at the longest. Various polymers containing BLM could be useful for the site of drug administration or anti-cancer release pattern.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D007773 Lactates Salts or esters of LACTIC ACID containing the general formula CH3CHOHCOOR.
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D011091 Polyesters Polymers of organic acids and alcohols, with ester linkages--usually polyethylene terephthalate; can be cured into hard plastic, films or tapes, or fibers which can be woven into fabrics, meshes or velours. Polyester
D011108 Polymers Compounds formed by the joining of smaller, usually repeating, units linked by covalent bonds. These compounds often form large macromolecules (e.g., BIOPOLYMERS; PLASTICS). Polymer
D001761 Bleomycin A complex of related glycopeptide antibiotics from Streptomyces verticillus consisting of bleomycin A2 and B2. It inhibits DNA metabolism and is used as an antineoplastic, especially for solid tumors.
