A thermo-responsive hydrogel, including a biocompatible monomer and/or polymer having an amino acid side chain. The hydrogel is thermo-responsive at a physiological temperature, and can include, incorporate, or encapsulate a treatment agent, such as a drug composition, a biomolecule, and/or a nanoparticle. The hydrogel is useful in delivering the treatment agent. The hydrogel is in a first physicochemical state for administration to a mammal. The hydrogel is thermo-responsive at a physiological temperature of the mammal, and changes to a second physicochemical state that is more solid than the first physicochemical state. In the second physicochemical state the thermo-responsive hydrogel releases the treatment agent.
一种热响应性水凝胶,包括具有氨基酸侧链的生物相容性单体和/或聚合物。该水凝胶在生理温度下具有热响应性,可以包含、结合或封装治疗剂,如药物组合物、生物分子和/或纳米颗粒。该水凝胶在传递治疗剂方面很有用。该水凝胶处于第一物理化学状态以用于哺乳动物。该水凝胶在哺乳动物的生理温度下具有热响应性,并转变为比第一物理化学状态更固体的第二物理化学状态。在第二物理化学状态下,热响应性水凝胶释放治疗剂。
