Abstract

The maleic anhydride-cyclohexyl-1, 3-dioxepin co-polymer, poly (MAn-CDA) Was chosen for in vitro cytotoxic activity of anionic products investigated in the present paper. Recently liposomes have gained acceptance as potential drug carriers. Consequently, the cytotoxic effect of anionic polymers considered in the present investigation was assessed for liposome encapsulated materials too. Benzocaine was chosen as a spacer since its detachment from the macromolecular support through hydrolysis of the amide link can be evaluated in vitro through its anesthetic effect. Encapsulation in liposomes of polycarboxylic product had a beneficial effect.
