PVA (Mw 27000, 98-99% hydrolyzed, ~600 polymerization)

PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol) (Mw 27000, 98-99% hydrolyzed, ~600 polymerization) is a nonionic ethanol homopolymer with hydrophilicity, water solubility and biodegradability. PVA (Mw 27000, 98-99% hydrolyzed, ~600 polymerization) exhibits biocompatibility, non-toxicity and non-carcinogenicity, as well as antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and fungal strains. PVA (Mw 27000, 98-99% hydrolyzed, ~600 polymerization) can serve as a solubilizer, stabilizer, mucoadhesive agent and sustained-release agent, and has a synergistic solubilizing effect on voriconazole/sulfobutyl ether β-cyclodextrin complexes. By stabilizing such complexes, PVA (Mw 27000, 98-99% hydrolyzed, ~600 polymerization) forms freeze-thaw hydrogels with high mucoadhesion, sustained drug release and ex vivo corneal permeability. When compounded with hyaluronic acid hydrogels, PVA (Mw 27000, 98-99% hydrolyzed, ~600 polymerization) supports chondrocyte growth in vitro, and also forms complexes with Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions. PVA (Mw 27000, 98-99% hydrolyzed, ~600 polymerization) can be used in studies related to fungal keratitis, bacterial infections and fungal infections.
