Claims20
A therapeutic composition comprising:
- a modified polyester having functional groups within the polyester backbone;
- a crosslinking agent;
- and
- a bioactive agent,
- wherein the crosslinking agent reacts with the functional groups within the polyester backbone to form bonds between multiple polyester backbones, thereby forming a nanoparticle.
2 more elements
A therapeutic composition comprising:
- a modified polyester having a ketone functional groups within the polyester backbone;
- a crosslinking agent;
- and
- a bioactive agent,
- wherein the crosslinking agent reacts with the functional groups within the polyester backbone to form bonds between multiple polyester backbones, thereby forming a nanoparticle.
2 more elements
A therapeutic composition comprising:
- a modified polyester having functional groups within the polyester backbone, the polyester backbone possessing monomers selected from itaconate, fumarate, and combinations thereof;
- a crosslinking agent selected from amines, primary amines, secondary amines, alkoxy amines, alcohols, thiols, and combinations thereof;
- and
- a bioactive agent,
- wherein the crosslinking agent reacts with the functional groups within the polyester backbone to form bonds between multiple polyester backbones, thereby forming a nanoparticle.
