Preparation of sterically stabilized human serum albumin nanospheres using a novel Dextranox-MPEG crosslinking agent.
Pharmaceutical research(1994)
摘要
Human serum albumin (HSA) nanospheres with a size less than 200 nm in diameter were prepared using a modified coacervation method and crosslinking with methyl polyethylene glycol modified oxidized Dextram (Dextranox-MPEG) which created a sterically stabilizing polyethylene oxide surface layer surrounding the nanospheres. The crosslinking efficiency and the surface characteristics of glutaraldehyde and Dextranox-MPEG crosslinked HSA nanospheres were determined and compared. The zeta potential of the Dextranox-MPEG crosslinked particles was significantly lower than that of glutaraldehyde stabilized particles. The existence of a hydrated steric barrier surrounding the nanospheres was confirmed by an electrolyte and pH induced flocculation test. The Dextranox-MPEG crosslinked nanospheres showed a significantly reduced plasma protein adsorption on the particle surface compared with glutaraldehyde crosslinked nanospheres.
