Abstract
Degradable polymers (DPs) - “green materials” of the future, have an innumerable use in biomedicine,
particularly in the fields of tissue engineering and drug delivery. Among these kind of materials naturally occurring
polymers - proteins which constituted one of the most important “bricks of life” - α-amino acids (AAs) are
highly suitable. A wide biomedical applicability of proteins is due to special properties such as a high affinity
with tissues and releasing AAs upon biodegradation that means a nutritive potential for cells. Along with these
positive characteristics proteins as biomedical materials they have some shortcomings, such as batch-to-batch
variation, risk of disease transmission, and immune rejection. The last limitation is connected with the molecular
architecture of proteins. Furthermore, the content of only peptide bonds in protein molecules significantly restricts
their material properties. Artificial polymers with the composition of AAs are by far more promising as degradable
biomaterials since they are free from the limitations of proteins retaining at the same time their positive
features - a high tissue compatibility and nutritive potential. The present review deals with a brief description of
different families of AA-based artificial polymers, such as poly(amino acid)s, pseudo-poly(amino acid)s, polydepsipeptides,
and pseudo-proteins - relatively new and broad family of artificial AA-based DPs. Most of these
polymers have a different macromolecular architecture than proteins and contain various types of chemical links
along with NH-CO bonds that substantially expands properties of materials destined for sophisticated biomedical
applications.

Abstract
A photodegradable poly(ester amide) was developed. An amphiphilic graft copolymer derivative with paclitaxel conjugated via ester linkages formed micelles that released paclitaxel in response to UV light.

Abstract
Micelles formed from amphiphilic copolymers are promising materials for the delivery of drug molecules, potentially leading to enhanced biological properties and efficacy. In this work, new poly(ester amide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEA-PEO) graft copolymers were synthesized and their assembly into micelles in aqueous solution was investigated. It was possible to tune the sizes of the micelles by varying the PEO content of the polymers and the method of micelle preparation. Under optimized conditions, it was possible to obtain micelles with diameters less than 100 nm as measured by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. These micelles were demonstrated to encapsulate and release a model drug, Nile Red, and were nontoxic to HeLa cells as measured by an MTT assay. Overall, the properties of these micelles suggest that they are promising new materials for drug delivery systems.

Abstract
The object of the study was to fill and coat the microcavities of a drug eluting stent using a batch dipping process. 316L coronary stents, which were coated with a 0.25 μm layer of TiNOx were used as substrates. The stents’ surface was dimpled with 0.21 μl microcavities separated by distances of 17–28 μm depending on location. The experiment consisted of (1) optimizing the procedures to fill the microcavities with a solution of therapeutic agent and (2) covering the filled microcavities with a protective “lid” that shielded the solution during stent insertion in the arteries and then controlled its release into the surrounding tissue. The filling solution was a water-propanol mix containing 20% L-arginine. The coating solution was comprised of poly-ethylene-glycol (PEG-8000) and dexamethasone. The filling quality was investigated after altering the following variables: plasma surface activation (type of gas, pressure, power, and duration), water-propanol percentage ratio of the filling solution, lifting speed from the bath, and effect of ultrasonic vibration (monofrequency versus multifrequency). The surface coating was evaluated by altering the PEG-8000-dexamethasone percentage ratio and recording the effects on coating thickness and structure, on elution rate, and on wear resistance. The optimized process is presented in detail.
