A novel pH and oxidation dual-responsive and injectable supramolecular hydrogel was developed, which was formed from multi-block copolymer poly(ether urethane) (PEU) and α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) inclusion complexes (ICs). The PEU copolymer was synthesized through a simple one-pot condensation polymerization of poly(ethylene glycol), di(1-hydroxyethylene) diselenide, dimethylolpropionic acid and 3-isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexyl isocyanate. In aqueous solution, the amphiphilic PEU copolymers could self-assemble into nanoparticles with dual pH and oxidation sensitivities, which can efficiently load and controllably release a hydrophobic drug indomethacin (IND). Then a dual-drug loaded supramolecular hydrogel was obtained by addition of α-CD and hydrophilic model drug (rhodamine B, RB) into the resulting IND-loaded PEU nanoparticle solution. The rheology studies showed that the supramolecular hydrogels with good injectability underwent a pH-induced reversible sol-gel transition and an oxidation-triggered degradation behavior. The in vitro drug release results demonstrated that the hydrogels showed dual drug release behavior and the release rates could be significantly accelerated by addition of an oxidizing agent (H2O2) or increasing the environmental pH. Therefore, this injectable and dual stimuli-responsive supramolecular hydrogel based codelivery systems could potentially be a promising candidate for controlled drug delivery systems.
开发了一种新型的pH和氧化双响应可注射超分子水凝胶,它由多嵌段共聚物聚(醚氨酯)(PEU)和α-环糊精(α-CD)包合物(ICs)形成。PEU共聚物通过聚乙二醇、二(1-羟基亚乙基)二硒化物、二羟甲基丙酸和3-异氰酸酯甲基-3,5,5-三甲基环己基异氰酸酯的简单一锅法缩聚反应合成。在水溶液中,两亲性PEU共聚物可自组装成具有双pH和氧化敏感性的纳米颗粒,其能够有效地负载并可控释放疏水性药物吲哚美辛(IND)。然后,通过向所得负载IND的PEU纳米颗粒溶液中加入α-CD和亲水性模型药物(罗丹明B,RB),获得了负载双药的超分子水凝胶。流变学研究表明,具有良好可注射性的超分子水凝胶经历了pH诱导的可逆溶胶-凝胶转变和氧化触发的降解行为。体外药物释放结果表明,水凝胶呈现双药释放行为,并且通过加入氧化剂(H2O2)或提高环境pH可显著加速释放速率。因此,这种基于可注射和双刺激响应超分子水凝胶的共递送系统可能是用于控释药物递送系统的有前景的候选物。
