Stimuli-responsive Hydrogel for Drug Delivery
Introduction Hydrogels have been extensively investigated as drug delivery carriers in biomedical applications.The stimuli-responsive hydrogel is generally created when an ionic monomer is incorporated into the hydrogel network, in which the charged group is formed and called fixed charge since its mobility is much less than that of freely mobile ions within the interstitial fluid. In this stud...
متن کاملStudies on In situ Hydrogel: A Smart Way for Safe and Sustained Ocular Drug Delivery
The present work describes the formulation development of ophthalmic in situ gelling system using thermo-reversible gelling polymer, i.e. Pluronic F 127 (PF127). Because of high concentration (20 to 25%w/v) of this polymer required for in situ gelation causes irritation to the eye. So, to reduce this concentration, an attempt was made to combine the PF127 with other polymers like hydroxy propyl...
متن کاملHydrogel-Forming Microneedle Arrays Made from Light-Responsive Materials for On-Demand Transdermal Drug Delivery.
We describe, for the first time, stimulus-responsive hydrogel-forming microneedle (MN) arrays that enable delivery of a clinically relevant model drug (ibuprofen) upon application of light. MN arrays were prepared using a polymer prepared from 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) by micromolding. The obtained MN arrays showed good mechanical properties. ...
متن کاملHydrogel-Forming Microneedle Arrays for Enhanced Transdermal Drug Delivery
Unique microneedle arrays prepared from crosslinked polymers, which contain no drug themselves, are described. They rapidly take up skin interstitial fluid upon skin insertion to form continuous, unblockable, hydrogel conduits from attached patch-type drug reservoirs to the dermal microcirculation. Importantly, such microneedles, which can be fabricated in a wide range of patch sizes and micron...
متن کاملModified Polyethylenimine: Self Assemble Nanoparticle Forming Polymer for pDNA Delivery
Objective Polyethylenimine (PEI), a readily available synthetic polycation which has high transfection efficiency owing to its buffering capacity was introduced for transfection a few years ago. But it has been reported that PEI is cytotoxic in many cell lines. In this study, in order to enhance the transfection efficiency of 10 kDa PEI and reduce its toxicity, hydrophobic residues were grafte...
