Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Drug Delivery Systems

Background:

  • Biodegradable and non-biodegradable polymers are crucial for sustained protein delivery.
  • Protein structural instabilities arise from polymer surface interactions, hindering delivery efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze and predict protein instabilities in delivery systems by determining adsorption patterns.
  • To evaluate a novel spectral-phase interference optical method for biomolecular interaction analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Characterization of a spectral-phase interference method using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model.
  • Assessment of protein adsorption on various materials (Glass, polystyrene, PLA, PLGA, PEC) with differing wettabilities and zeta potentials.
  • Analysis of concentration-dependent adsorption curves and confirmation with atomic force microscopy (AFM).

Main Results:

  • The optical method demonstrated sensitivity, reproducibility, and a suitable dynamic range for protein-polymer interaction studies.
  • Two principal adsorption patterns were identified, influenced more by polymer hydrophobicity than surface charge.
  • Poly(ethylene carbonate) exhibited favorable adsorption behavior with low polymer-protein interactions, indicating its potential for protein delivery.

Conclusions:

  • The developed optical method is effective for analyzing protein adsorption and predicting instabilities in polymer-based delivery systems.
  • Polymer hydrophobicity plays a significant role in modulating protein adsorption behavior.
  • Poly(ethylene carbonate) is a highly promising biomaterial for sustained protein delivery applications due to its low protein interaction profile.
