Polymeric Drugs
Introduction: The subject of polymeric drugs has recently achieved wide attention and is
discussed among scientists interested in macromolecular science and in biological
and pharmaceutical disciplines. The general concept is also penetrating into regulatory
authorities responsible for administering the areas of food and drug related
subjects. We are limiting our discussion on polymeric drugs to materials where the
polymer consists entirely of synthetic polymers with functional groups of known or
potential biological activity. Such drugs are defined to include any agent which,
upon introduction into a living system, causes a physiological response. Not only
curative but also prophylactic agents are included in this definition
