Injectable supramolecular hydrogel derived from cucurbit[7]uril-adamantane inclusion complexes

An Injectable and Drug-loaded Supramolecular Hydrogel for Local Catheter Injection into the Pig Heart

Regeneration of lost myocardium is an important goal for future therapies because of the increasing occurrence of chronic ischemic heart failure and the limited access to donor hearts. An example of a treatment to recover the function of the heart consists of the local delivery of drugs and bioactives from a hydrogel. In this paper a method is introduced to formulate and inject a drug-loaded hy...

Dual Stimuli-Responsive Supramolecular Hydrogel Based on Hybrid Inclusion Complex (HIC)

A novel dual-responsive supramolecular hydrogel composed of an azobenzene (AZO) endfunctionalized block copolymer PDMA-b-PNIPAM (AZO-(PDMA-b-PNIPAM)) and β-cyclodextrin-modified CdS quantum dot (β-CD@QD) has been demonstrated. Based on the host-guest inclusion complexation of AZO of the block copolymers and CD cavities on β-CD@QD, they form a hybrid inclusion complex (HIC). The HIC contains a Q...

Bidentate Schiff Base derived from quinolone Ligands Oxovanadium (IV) Complexes

Light controlled protein release from a supramolecular hydrogel.

Using the inclusion complex of trans azobenzene and cyclodextrin as a photo-switchable crosslinker, a dextran based photo-responsive hydrogel system has been constructed and employed for a light controlled protein release system.
