  • Publication number: 20140193505
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a biodegradable carrier with adjustable zeta potentials and particle sizes, a method for making the same, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same. In such a method, a first solution comprising a first biodegradable macromolecule is prepared, and a second solution comprising a second biodegradable macromolecule is also prepared according to a desired zeta potential of a biodegradable carrier and further added into the first solution to form a mixture solution. The biodegradable carrier with the desired zeta potentials is formed by the attraction force between the different electric properties. Then, the mole number of the first biodegradable macromolecule and the second biodegradable macromolecule in the mixture solution are proportionally adjusted according to a desired particle size of the biodegradable carrier. Therefore, the zeta potential and the particle size of the biodegradable carrier are adjustable artificially.
