The present invention provides new classes of phenol compounds, including those derived from tyrosol and analogs, useful as monomers for preparation of biocompatible polymers, and biocompatible polymers prepared from these monomeric phenol compounds, including novel biodegradable and/or bioresorbable polymers. These biocompatible polymers or polymer compositions with enhanced bioresorbabilty and processibility are useful in a variety of medical applications, such as in medical devices and controlled-release therapeutic formulations. The invention also provides methods for preparing these monomeric phenol compounds and biocompatible polymers.
本发明提供了新的酚类化合物,包括从酪醇和类似物中衍生出的化合物,作为制备生物相容性聚合物的单体,以及从这些单体酚化合物制备的生物相容性聚合物,包括新的可生物降解和/或可生物吸收聚合物。这些具有增强生物吸收性和加工性的生物相容性聚合物或聚合物组合物在各种医疗应用中有用,例如在医疗器械和控释治疗配方中。本发明还提供了制备这些单体酚化合物和生物相容性聚合物的方法。
