Star polymer occlusion complexes were prepared comprising i) an amphiphilic unimolecular star polymer having a crosslinked core covalently linked to 6 or more independent amphiphilic polymer arms, ii) a nutraceutical (such as coenzyme Q10), and iii) a cholesterol-lowering drug (such as simvastatin). An initial occlusion complex formed with the nutraceutical and the star polymer exhibited improved binding properties for the cholesterol-lowering drug, resulting in improved loading efficiencies for the cholesterol-lowering drug. The star polymer occlusion complexes have utility in the medical treatment of high blood cholesterol.
制备的星形聚合物闭塞复合物包括 i) 两性单分子星形聚合物,其交联核心与 6 个或更多独立的两性聚合物臂共价连接;ii) 营养保健品(如
辅酶 Q10);iii) 降
胆固醇药物(如
辛伐他汀)。营养保健品与星形聚合物形成的初始闭塞复合物对降低
胆固醇药物的结合性能有所改善,从而提高了降低
胆固醇药物的装载效率。星形聚合物闭塞复合物可用于治疗高血脂。
