A medicine-releasing agent
Abstract
Abstract This invention concerns a medicine-releasing agent which is prepared by wrapping up a medicine-polypeptide compound in a poly-a-amino acid membrane having an appropriate permeability for medicine, which is also excellent in the affinity with living cellualr tissues. A copolymer containing a glutamine with hydrophilic radicals and another glutamine with hydrophobic radicals in the molar ratio of 1/ 9-3/7 is favorably used as the poly-a-amino acid membrane mentioned above. For about a month after the medicine-releasing agent is embedded in a living tissues, for example as much as 50 % of the medicine is recognized to dissove out through the membrane at a constant rate; at the same time, a carrier of the medicine is also found to assimilate in the living tissues perfectly.
