Table 2.

Properties of DFOA, MTP, PYR, and RIF and results of polymer drug release studies. The fold change in affinity due to inclusion complex was calculated from PyRx results (lower value indicates greater affinity binding). Maximum total drug released, and days of continuous, above assay background release are listed above the corresponding polymer type per each drug.
