Several critical aspects of cross-linked polyanhydrides made using thiol-ene polymerization are reported, in particular the erosion, release, and solution properties, along with their cytotoxicity toward fibroblast cells. The monomers used to synthesize these polyanhydrides were 4-pentenoic anhydride and pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate).
