Functionalized Amino Acid Polymers
Synthetic absorbable polymers derived from natural amino acids have excellent engineering properties, tunable hydrolysis profiles, and are able to release safe and biocompatible molecules and amino acids upon absorption at the site of action in a controlled manner. We are pleased to offer a portfolio of amino acids functionalized with safe and biocompatible molecules such as lactic and glycolic acid for technical evaluation and product development. These functionalized amino acids can be used to prepare absorbable polymers with the potential to answer unmet customer needs.
Key features and benefits of these amino acid polymers include:
- Amino acid such as tyrosine and lysine are a part of polymer backbone
- Completely hydrolysable into safe and biocompatible products and amino acids
- Tunable hydrolysis profile
- Therapeutic value of amino acid delivered at the site of action in a controlled manner
- Excellent engineering properties


Key Applications
- Controlled drug delivery
- Regenerative medicine
- Wound healing
- Medical device (Stent) coatings
- Adhesion prevention
- Tunable release of biologically active
agents and antimicrobial compounds
