Fabrication of Chemically Linked PEGylated Prodrugs for Hydrogel Carriers

Article Preview

Abstract:

Some hydrophilic drugs (e.g. anti-tumor drug of doxorubicin (DOX) and anti-osteoporosis drug of alendronate sodium (ALN)) have great toxic and adverse effects on the human body. In this paper, two kinds of drug-loaded composite gel systems were prepared via mild and efficient chemical reaction synthesis, hyaluronic acid-linked ALN (HA-ALN) hydrogel and polyethylene glycol-linked DOX (Tetra-PEG-DOX) hydrogel. By characterizing their chemical structures, morphological networks, and ultraviolet absorption behaviors, two different types of drug-loaded composite gels can be constructed well. It is expected to achieve effective drug loading and controlled release. The two drug-loaded gels are applied in the fields of antitumor and anti-osteoporosis and exert their application value in the field of biomedicine.
