文摘

The aim of this study was to define a block copolymer micellar system with a high solubilization capacity for poorlysoluble aromatic drugs. Ethylene oxide and phenyl glycidyl ether were sequentially polymerized to form the diblockcopolymer G₅E₆₇ (G = phenyl glycidyl ether, OCH₂CH(CH₂OC₆H₅); E = oxyethylene, OCH₂CH₂; subscripts denotenumber-average block lengths in repeat units). The association properties in aqueous solution over the range 20-50C were investigated by surface tensiometry and light scattering, yielding values of the cmc, hydrodynamic radius,and association number; gel boundaries in concentrated micellar solution were investigated by tube inversion. Thesolubilization capacity of G₅E₆₇ for the poorly water-soluble drug griseofulvin was higher than that of a triblock EGEcopolymer of longer G block length and considerably higher than that achieved with poloxamers (E_mP_nE_m, P =oxypropylene).
