Abstract

Dual-drug loaded pH-responsive hydrogels were prepared as a delivery system carrying, as exemplars, both anti-cancer and anti-bacterial agents for pH controlled drug release. The hydrogels were composed of poly(l-lactide)-co-polyethyleneglycol-co-poly(l-lactide) dimethacrylates (with various molecular weights of l-lactide oligomers) as a macromolecular crosslinker and copolymerized with acrylic acid and N-isopropylacrylamide. The biodegradability, biocompatibility and mechanical properties of the hydrogels were characterized with the hydrogels being nontoxic to cells, while showing a reversible >80% reduction in volume at pH 1.2 compared to pH 7.4. Drug release profiles showed differential release of tetracycline over doxorubicin at pH 1.2, with both drugs being released equally at pH 7.4. Biodegradability was tunable by altering the crosslinking density and pH, with the total degradation of the best gels observed within 2 weeks at pH 7.4.

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.
