Physical and chemical properties
Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), CAS 26780-50-7, is a biodegradable copolymer synthesized via ring-opening polymerization. Its general formula reflects the random arrangement of lactic and glycolic acid units, enabling tunable degradation rates.
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent hydrolysis. Avoid inhalation of dust; use appropriate PPE during handling. Clinical use requires strict adherence to regulatory approval for specific indications.
