摘要
A series of copoly(alpha-amino acids) with varying percentages of hydrophilic (L-aspartic acid) and hydrophobic monomers (L-leucine, beta-methyl-L-aspartate, and beta-benzyl-L-aspartate) were implanted subcutaneously in rats and the macroscopic degradation behavior was studied. Three groups of materials (A,B,C) with different ranges of hydrophilicity were distinguished: A) hydrophobic materials showed no degradation after 12 weeks; B) more hydrophilic materials revealed a gradual reduction in size of the samples, but were still present after 12 weeks; and C) hydrophilic copolymers disappeared within 24 hr. The tissue reactions caused by the materials of group A resembled that of silicone rubber, whereas those of group B showed a more cellular reaction.
