Provided herein are polymer materials that find use in, for example, delivery of short-chain fatty acids. In particular, polymers are provided that form stable nanoscale structures and release their payload, for example, by cleavage of a covalent bond (e.g., via hydrolysis or enzymatic cleavage). The polymers are useful, for example, for delivery of payloads (e.g., SCFAs) to the intestine for applications in health and treatment of disease, and have broad applicability in diseases linked to changes in the human microbiota including inflammatory, autoimmune, allergic, metabolic, and central nervous system diseases, among others.
本文提供了一些
聚合物材料,例如用于传递短链
脂肪酸。具体来说,提供了形成稳定纳米级结构并释放其有效载荷的
聚合物,例如通过共价键的断裂(例如通过
水解或酶解)。这些
聚合物可用于将有效载荷(例如SC
FAs)传递到肠道,用于健康和治疗疾病的应用,并在与人类微
生物群落变化相关的疾病中具有广泛适用性,包括炎症性、自身免疫、过敏、代谢和中枢神经系统疾病等。
