Biocompatible supramolecular pseudorotaxane hydrogels for controllable release of doxorubicin in ovarian cancer SKOV-3 cells
A series of injectable and biocompatible delivery DOX-loaded supramolecular hydrogels were fabricated by using presynthesized DOX-2N-β-CD, Pluronic F-127 and α-CD through host–guest interactions and cooperative multivalent hydrogen bonding interactions. The compositions and morphologies of these hyd...

Sumario: | A series of injectable and biocompatible delivery DOX-loaded supramolecular hydrogels were fabricated by using presynthesized DOX-2N-β-CD, Pluronic F-127 and α-CD through host–guest interactions and cooperative multivalent hydrogen bonding interactions. The compositions and morphologies of these hydrogels were confirmed by PXRD and SEM measurements. Moreover, the Rheological measurements of these hydrogels were studied and the studies found that they showed a unique thixotropic behavior, indicting a fast self-healing property after the continuous oscillatory shear stress. Using α-CD as a capping agent, slow and sustained DOX release was observed at different pH values after 72 h. The amount of DOX released at pH 7.4 was determined to be 49.0% for hydrogel 1, whereas the releasing amount of the DOX was increased to 66.3% for hydrogel 1 during the same period at pH 5.5 (P < 0.05), indicating a higher release rate of the drug under more acidic conditions. Taking hydrogel 1 as a representative material, the toxicities of DOX and hydrogel 1 on ovarian cancer cells (SKOV-3) at different exposure durations were examined. The results revealed that hydrogel 1 was less cytotoxic than free DOX to SKOV-3 cells (P < 0.05), suggesting sustained release by these hydrogels in the presence of ovarian cancer cells. It is anticipated that this exploration can provide a new strategy for preparing drug delivery systems. |
