In-vitro degradation behavior and biological properties of a novel maleated poly (D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) for biomedical applications

Abstract Synthesized biodegradable polymers with controlled degradability and good biological safety would be useful in biomedical applications. In this work a novel maleated poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (MPLGA) was melt copolymerized from maleic anhydride, D,L-lactide and glycolide monomers. The degradation behavior in phosphate-buffered solution (PBS) was investigated and the biological properties were studied by using fibroblastic cells cultured in an extract of MPLGA and by an in-vitro cell cytotoxicity test. The results indicated that the MPLGA was successfully obtained using the melt-copolymerization method. The maleic anhydride groups in the MPLGA led to a faster degradation in PBS than PLGA. Fibroblastic cells showed normal morphologies in MPLGA extracts, and the MPLGA materials showed no cell cytotoxicity. The in-vitro biological properties indicated that the obtained MPLGA had good biocompatibility and would be useful for medical applications.
