[Progress in research on triptolide].

To further understand triptolide, this paper has introduced the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, toxicity, the clinic application and semi-synthesis of triptolide on basis of importance and significant contents of reference which have been consulted in the past twenty years. Presently triptolide and Tripterygium wilfordii have been a hot spot of modernization of Chinese traditional medicine. It is very important to develop a new dosage form of high effect and low toxicity by making use of advanced technology according to its characteristics.

[Characterization of Me. PEG-PLA copolymer nanoparticles prepared by modified spontaneous emulsion-solvent evaporation].

AIM: Characterization of poly (D, L-lactic acid)/monomethylether terminated/polyethylene glycol (Me. PEG-PLA) block copolymers nanoparticles. METHODS: Me. PEG-PLA block copolymers were prepared by bulk polymerization. A series of nanoparticles were made from Me. PEG-PLA block copolymer by modified spontaneous emulsion-solvent evaporation technique. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The structure of copolymer was performed by means of 1HNMR and FT-IR. The morphological examination of nanoparticles was performed by means of atomic force microscope (AFM). Results indicated that nanoparticles exhibited a smooth spherulite and core-shell structure. The hydrophilic shell is consisted of PEG segments and hydrophobic core is consisted of PLA segments. Zeta potential of nanoparticles was zero and further indicated core-shell structure. The particle size and size distribution of nanoparticles were measured by laser light scattering technique. The effective particle size range was from 70 to 160 nm and showed a normal distribution.
