| Abstract | The aim of the present work is to investigate the effect of PEG content in copolymer on physicochemical properties, in vitro macrophage uptake, in vivo pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)–poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hemoglobin (Hb)-loaded nanoparticles (HbP) used as blood substitutes. The HbP were prepared from PLA and PLA–PEG copolymer of varying PEG contents (5, 10, and 20 wt%) by a modified w/o/w method and characterized with regard to their morphology, size, surface charge, drug loading, surface hydrophilicity, and PEG coating efficiency. The in vitro macrophage uptake, in vivo pharmacokinetics, and biodistribution following intravenous administration in mice of HbP labeled with 6-coumarin, were evaluated. The HbP prepared were all in the range of 100–200 nm with highest encapsulation efficiency 87.89%, surface charge −10 to −33 mV, static contact angle from 54.25° to 68.27°, and PEG coating efficiency higher than 80%. Compared with PLA HbP, PEGylation could notably avoid the macrophage uptake of HbP, in particular when the PEG content was 10 wt%, a minimum uptake (6.76%) was achieved after 1 h cultivation. In vivo, besides plasma, the major cumulative organ was the liver. All PLA–PEG HbP exhibited dramatically prolonged blood circulation and reduced liver accumulation, compared with the corresponding PLA HbP. The PEG content in copolymer affected significantly the survival time in blood. Optimum PEG coating (10 wt%) appeared to exist leading to the most prolonged blood circulation of PLA–PEG HbP, with a half-life of 34.3 h, much longer than that obtained by others (24.2 h). These results demonstrated that PEG 10 wt% modified PLA HbP with suitable size, surface charge, and surface hydrophilicity, has a promising potential as long-circulating oxygen carriers with desirable biocompatibility and biofunctionality. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
