Phenylboronic acid-bearing polyamidoamine dendrimer (PBA-PAMAM)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) multilayer films were prepared through the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of PBA-PAMAM solution and PVA solution. PBA-PAMAM/PVA films were constructed successfully through the formation of boronate ester bonds between the boronic acid moiety in PBA and 1,3-diol units in PVA. When the (PBA-PAMAM/PVA)5 films were immersed in rose bengal (RB) solution, RB was adsorbed onto the LbL films. The amount of RB adsorbed was higher in the LbL films immersed in acidic solution than in basic solution. The release of RB from the LbL films was also promoted in the basic solution, while it was suppressed in the acidic solution. The boronic acid ester is oxidized to phenol by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and the carbon-boron bond is cleaved, so that the (PBA-PAMAM/PVA)5 films can be decomposed by immersion in H2O2 solution. Therefore, when RB-adsorbed (PBA-PAMAM/PVA)5 films were immersed in H2O2 solution, the release of RB was moderately promoted when the solution was weakly acidic.

Glucose-sensitive drug platforms are highly attractive in the field of self-regulated drug delivery. Drug carriers based on boronic acid (BA), especially phenylboronic acid (PBA), have been designed for glucose-sensitive self-regulated insulin delivery. The PBA-functionalized gels have attracted more interest in recent years. The cross-linked three-dimensional (3D) structure endows the glucose-sensitive gels with great physicochemical properties. The PBA-based platforms with cross-linked structures have found promising applications in self-regulated drug delivery systems. This article summarizes some recent attempts at the developments of PBA-mediated glucose-sensitive gels for self-regulated drug delivery. The PBA-based glucose-sensitive gels, including hydrogels, microgels, and nanogels, are expected to significantly promote the development of smart self-regulated drug delivery systems for diabetes therapy.

This review describes the Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), an intracellular biodegradable microbial polymer. PHAs is formed from different types of three hydroxyalkanoic acids monomers, each unit forms an ester bond with the hydroxyl group of the other one and the hydroxyl substituted carbon has R configuration. The C-3 atom in β position is branched with at least one carbon atom in the form of methyl group (C1) to thirteen carbons in the form of tridecyl (C13). This alkyl side chain is not necessarily saturated. PHAs are biosynthesized through regulated pathways by specific enzymes. PHAs are accumulated in bacterial cells from soluble to insoluble form as storage materials inside the inclusion bodies during unbalanced nutrition or to save organisms from reducing equivalents. PHAs are converted again to soluble components by PHAs depolymerases and the degraded materials enter various metabolic pathways. Until now, four classes of enzymes responsible for PHAs polymerization are known. PHAs were well studied regarding their promising applications, physical, chemical and biological properties. PHAs are biodegradable, biocompatible, have good material properties, renewable and can be used in many applications. The most limiting factor in PHAs commercialization is their high cost compared to the petroleum plastics. This review highlights the new knowledge and that established by the pioneers in this field as well as the factors, which affect PHAs commercialization.

Abstract Background In this study, we synthesized molecularly imprinted copolymers for liquid chromatography columns as a separator for glycosaminoglycan (dermatan sulfate; DS and chondroitin sulfate; CS) in urine. Materials and methods Acrylamide and acrylamido phenylboronic acid were used as monomers, acrylamide was used for as base monomer to attract negatively charged groups and acrylamido phenylboronic acid (AAPBA) residues used to form diol bonds between sugar and boronic acid residues to strengthen the attraction. These monomers were synthesized by using precipitation polymerization to form uniform spheres, which are more durable for the pressurized chromatographic systems. Trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate and AIBN were used as crosslinker and starter, respectively. Results These GAG selective polymers were filled by pressurized flow into the steel (4.6 mm × 1.6 mm) columns, then imprinted GAGs were extracted and analyzed to calculate binding capacity of each milligram polymer. Calibration curves of the GAG selective columns were obtained 62.5–1000 ng/mL less than 5% coefficient variation, and lower matrix effect. Conclusion Our imprinted columns separated different GAGs from urine specifically and sensitively. Matrix effect was at an ignorable level thus the challenging use.
