abstract = "Soft polymeric networks based on poly(methacrylic
acid) (PMAA) are attractive candidates for targeted and
controlled drug release due to their non-toxicity,
biocompatibility and pH-sensitivity. The highly hydrophilic
nature of PMAA networks enables transport of hydrophilic
drugs only. This limitation has been overcome in present work
by a PMAA modification with casein and liposomes. Casein is a
natural amphiphilic protein which enabled the encapsulation
and targeted and controlled release of the model drug- caffeine.
The FTIR spectra showed that the hydrophobic interactions and
hydrogen bonds were established between the casein and
caffeine. The caffeine in vitro release was monitored in two media
at 37C: phosphate buffer pH=6.8, which simulated the pH
environment in the human intestines and 0.1M HCl pH=1.2,
which simulated the pH environment in the human stomach. The
presence of liposomes with the encapsulated caffeine in the
carriers caused the decrease in the speed of caffeine release.
Introduction of itaconic acid (IA) as a hydrophilic and pHsensitive substance with two carboxylic groups resulted in a nonregular structure of the carriers with large voids which caused
an increase in swelling rate of the carriers and an increase in
speed of caffeine release. All obtained results showed that the
targeted and controlled release of a poorly water-soluble
substance was achieved.",
