A polyethylene glycol-grafted pullulan polysaccharide adhesive improves drug loading capacity and release efficiency

Copyright © 2024. Published by Elsevier B.V..

In this study, polyethylene glycol was grafted onto pullulan polysaccharides, resulting in the development of a novel adhesive termed PLUPE, offering superior drug loading capacity and rapid release efficiency. The efficacy of PLUPE was rigorously evaluated through various tests, including the tack test, shear strength test, 180° peel strength test, and human skin adhesion test. The results demonstrated that PLUPE exhibited a static shear strength that was 4.6 to 9.3 times higher than conventional PSAs, ensuring secure adhesion for over 3 days on human skin. A comprehensive analysis, encompassing electrical potential evaluation, calculation of interaction parameters, and FT-IR spectra, elucidated why improved the miscibility between the drug and PSAs, that the significant enhancement of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the PLUPE structure. ATR-FTIR, rheological, and thermodynamic analyses further revealed that the hydrogen bonding network in PLUPE primarily interacted with polar groups in the skin. This interaction augmented the fluidity and free volume of PSA molecules, thereby promoting efficient drug release. The results confirmed the safety profile of PLUPE through skin irritation tests and MTT assays, bolstering its viability for application in TDDS patches. In conclusion, PLUPE represented a groundbreaking adhesive solution for TDDS patches, successfully overcoming longstanding challenges associated with PSAs.
