Slow release systems of drug consisting of polymeric materials have been studied by many investigators to prevent over-dosage of drug due to continuous effects of the drug at local areas of the body'). In such a system, the permeability of the polymer matrix, which depends on the nature of the polymer such as hydrophobicity, electric charge, and density, is a dominant factor for the release profile of drug. In order to develop a more ideal release system of drug, a polymer with a responsive function for external stimulation should be applied. We have investigated the regulation of drug release in response to a specific stimulation, eg the change in the concentration of amino compounds*) or light irradiations. In the body, the pancreas releases insulin in response to the concentration of glucose in the blood. This paper describes the preparation of a polymer membrane with the ability to regulate the release of insulin in response to the change in the concentration of glucose. This glucose responsive polymeric membrane is constituted by two polymer membranes. One membrane is a polyacrylamide membrane containing glucose oxidase (GOD), which acts as a sensor of glucose and forms hydrogen peroxide by enzymic reaction. The other membrane is a redox polymer having a nicotinamide moiety which acts as a regulator of the permeation rate of insulin by means of an oxidation reaction with the hydrogen peroxide.
