Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Drug Delivery Systems

Background:

  • Controlled drug release is crucial for therapeutic efficacy.
  • Smart polymers offer tunable properties for advanced drug delivery.
  • Natural polypeptides present opportunities for biocompatible delivery systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate elastin-like polypeptides grafted with alkyl chains (ELP-g-Bu) as amphiphilic smart surfactants.
  • To assess their ability to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions.
  • To investigate stimuli-responsive release of loaded molecules.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of ELP-g-Bu and characterization of physicochemical properties.
  • Preparation and stability assessment of paraffin-oil-in-water emulsions.
  • Drug loading with a lipophilic molecule and release studies under thermal and oxidative stimuli.

Main Results:

  • ELP-g-Bu exhibited dual-responsive changes in critical aggregation concentration.
  • Stable emulsions with a droplet size of 9 ± 1 μm were formed and maintained for a month.
  • Complete drug release was triggered at 42 °C, with partial release under oxidation.

Conclusions:

  • Amphiphilic ELP-g-Bu are effective macromolecular surfactants for creating stable emulsions.
  • These smart polymers demonstrate dual-stimuli responsiveness for controlled drug release.
  • The developed system shows promise for drug delivery applications, particularly in inflammatory diseases.
