Langmuir model fitted parameters a and estimated fraction of acids occupied at maximal peptide absorption after 1 day at 37 °C. Data from [45].
Peptide | Polymer | K (μM−1) | Γ0 (μmol/g PLGA) | Γmax (μmol/g PLGA) | Total acids (μmol/g PLGA) | Fraction acids occupied b |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Leuprolide | RG 502H | 0.77 | 1.5 | 229 | 185 | 1.24 |
Octreotide | RG 502H | 1.6 | 8.5 | 163 | 185 | 0.88 |
Octreotide | RG 503H | 1.2 | 2.9 | 81 | 94 | 0.86 |
Sorption values determined by fitting to 1 day absorption data using where Γmax = Γ1 + Γ0.
Fraction acids occupied estimated from ratio of Γmax to total acids determined in polymer.
