Abstract

Injectable hydrogels with multifunctional properties, including tissue adhesiveness and pH-sensitivity are highly desired for localized drug delivery in disease treatment, and their design is still challenging. We developed a series of multifunctional injectable mucoadhesive and pH-responsive hydrogels based on chitosan-grafted-dihydrocaffeic acid (CS-DA) and oxidized pullulan (OP) via a Schiff base reaction. These hydrogels exhibited good injectability, suitable gelation time, in vitro pH-dependent equilibrated swelling ratios, morphologies, and rheological characteristics. The desirable in vitro pH-sensitive drug release behavior of these hydrogels was demonstrated by a drug release test with anti-cancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) loaded hydrogels at different pH values. The hydrogels showed good DOX release, effectively killing colon tumor cells (HCT116 cells) and good antibacterial properties against E. coli and S. aureus in vitro when the antibacterial model drug amoxicillin was encapsulated in the hydrogels. A lap-shear test was also carried out with these hydrogels. The hydrogels exhibited good mucosal adhesion, indicating their potential use in mucosa-localized drug delivery systems. All these results suggest that these injectable pH-responsive adhesive hydrogels are ideal candidates for development of colon cancer drug delivery carriers or mucoadhesive drug delivery systems.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
