Hydrogels that degrade under appropriate conditions of pH and temperature by virtue of crosslinking compounds that cleave through an elimination reaction are described. The hydrogels may be used for delivery of various agents, such as pharmaceuticals. This invention provides hydrogels that degrade to smaller, soluble components in a non-enzymatic process upon exposure to physiological conditions and to methods to prepare them. The hydrogels are prepared from crosslinking agents that undergo elimination reactions under physiological conditions, thus cleaving the crosslinking agent from the backbone of the hydrogel. The invention also relates to the crosslinking agents themselves and intermediates in forming the hydro gels of the invention. The biodegradable hydro gels prepared according to the methods of the invention may be of use in diverse fields, including biomedical engineering, absorbent materials, and as carriers for drug delivery.
描述了在适当的pH和温度条件下通过交联化合物裂解的水凝胶。这些水凝胶可用于传递各种药剂,如药物。该发明提供了在暴露于生理条件下会非酶催化降解为较小可溶性组分的水凝胶,以及制备它们的方法。这些水凝胶是由在生理条件下发生消除反应的交联剂制备而成,从而将交联剂从水凝胶的骨架中裂解出来。该发明还涉及交联剂本身以及形成该发明的水凝胶的中间体。根据该发明的方法制备的可生物降解水凝胶可用于各种领域,包括生物医学工程、吸收材料以及作为药物传递的载体。
