Conference Object Hidrofobik İlaç Taşıyıcısı Olarak Akrilik Yıldız Blok Kopolimerler(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2009) Genç, Gözde; Batıgün, Ayşegül; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Altıntaş, Özcan; Tunca, Ümit; Hizal, GürkanAmphiphilic poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-poly(acrylic acid) (PMMA-b-PAA) copolymers with 4 and 6 arms were synthesized by Atomic Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP). The polymers were characterized by GPC, H-NMR and FTIR analysis. Polymer samples synthesized at various molecular weights between 18-80 kDa were investigated in terms of maximum loading capacity and critical micelle concentration by fluorescence spectroscopy. 4 arm PMMA-b-PAA (MW 30 kDa) was loaded with hydrophobic model drug indomethacin with an extremely high drug loading efficiency (22.5% drug content). Drug loaded polymer formed a stable and biodegradable complex in aqueous medium.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 4Trans-resveratrol’ün Kitosan Mikroküreler İçerisindeki Kararlılığı(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2009) Altıok, Duygu; Altıok, Evren; Bayraktar, Oğuz; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Fundatrans-Resveratrol, (3,5,4?-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene), a phenolic compound present in some plant species, have been shown to posses antioxidative, anticarcinogenic and antitumour properties. However, under UV light, it turns into -cis form and looses its bioactivity.This study aims to increase the stability of trans-resveratrol by loading it into chitosan microspheres. Within this context, the trans-resveratrol loaded chitosan microspheres was produced by spray drying and then the resultant microspheres were characterized. The particle size and the surface morphology of resultant microspheres were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the thermal properties were determined by thermogravimetry analyser(TGA). The stability of free and that of inside the microspheres was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It was found that the stability of trans-resveratrol incorporated into chitosan microspheres kept constant. ©2009 IEEE.
