The bioavailability of drugs used on mucosal surfaces can be increased by the use of mucoadhesive polymers. A new type of mucoadhesive polymers is the group of thiolated polymers with thiol group containing side chains. These polymers are able to form covalent bonds (disulphide linkages) with the mucin glycoproteins. For the formulation of an ocular drug delivery system (DDS) thiolated poly(aspartic acid) polymer (ThioPASP) was used. Our aim was to determine their biocompatibility, mucoadhesion and drug release property. According to the results it can be established that the thiolated poly(aspartic acid) polymers can be a potential vehicle of an ocular drug delivery system due to their biocompatibility, good mucoadhesive property and drug release profile. Thanks to their properties controlled drug delivery can be achieved and bioavailability of the ophthalmic formulation can be increased, while the usage frequency can be decreased.

Efficient topical treatment of ocular diseases requires a prolonged residence time of drug formulations. An in situ gelling, mucoadhesive system can provide improved residence time while keeps the installation of the formulation easy and accurate due to its low initial viscosity. We synthesized a two-component, biocompatible water-based liquid formulation showing in situ gelation upon mixing.

gellable polymers have potential applications as injectable formulations in drug delivery and regenerative medicine. Herein, thiolated cationic polyaspartamides were synthesised two different approaches to correlate the side group structure with gelation properties, gel strength and drug release kinetics. Cysteamine (CEA) was used as a thiolating agent to prepare thiolated cationic polyaspartamide groups with short thiolated side groups.

The present study aimed at developing a potential in situ gellable dexamethasone (DXM) eye drop. Poly(aspartic acid) (PASP) derivatives were synthesized with dual functionality to improve the solubility of DXM, and to achieve in situ gelation. First, amine-modified β-cyclodextrin (CD) was attached to polysuccinimide (PSI), second, thiol functionalities were added by the reaction of cysteamine and succinimide rings.

In this work, a sensitive electrochemical platform for determination of cadmium ions (Cd) is obtained using thiolated poly(aspartic acid) (TPA)-functionalized MoS as a sensor platform by differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). The performance of the TPA-MoS-modified sensor is systemically studied. It demonstrates that the TPA-MoS nanocomposite modified sensor exhibits superior analytical performance for Cd over a linear range from 0.

Thiolated poly(aspartic acid) is known as a good mucoadhesive polymer in aqueous ophthalmic formulations. In this paper, cyclodextrin-modified thiolated poly(aspartic acid) was synthesized for the incorporation of prednisolone, a lipophilic ophthalmic drug, in an aqueous in situ gellable mucoadhesive solution. This polymer combines the advantages of cyclodextrins and thiolated polymers.
