Abstract
Hydrophilic molecules such as biologics, which can include peptides, proteins, and other biologically-derived materials, can be used as therapeutic agents in medical applications. They can face administration challenges because of poor membrane permeability and rapid clearance from the blood stream. Methods for the formation of a core-shell-brush nanoparticle from an A-B-C triblock copolymer are set forth. A hydrophilic core can contain the biologic and the C Block of the copolymer. The shell can be comprised of the precipitated B Block, and the A Block can form a stabilizing brush layer. The particles can be assembled by sequential precipitations under defined mixing conditions. Presented herein are methods to tune release based on process parameters during particle assembly and triblock characteristics.
