Application
Poly(lactide-alt-glycolide) contains alternating sequence of lactide and clycolide in the polymer chain, unlike Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA). The molar ratio of lactic to glycolic units in the polymer is exactly 1:1. Poly(lactide-alt-glycolide) has improved solutibilty in a broad range of organic solvents such as acetonitrile, acetone, dioxane, DCM and THF, providing great convenience for drug delivery researches and applications. Traditional PLGA polymers have a random distribution of glycolide and lactide units which impacts solutibilty. Compared to random PLGA with LA:GA ratios of 50/50, alternative PLGA undergoes hydrolysis in vivo with minimal changes in pH and a lower amount of acidic by-products.

Controlling the backbone architecture of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)s (PLGAs) is demonstrated to have a strong influence on the production and release of acidic degradation by-products in microparticle matrices. Previous efforts for controlling the internal and external accumulation of acidity for PLGA

This paper reports the influence of sequence structures of block copolymers composed of poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on their thermogelling aqueous behaviors. A series of thermogelling PLGA-PEG-PLGA triblock copolymers with similar chemical compositions and block lengths
