Thermoresponsive Hydrogels with Tunable Viscoelasticity for Extended Ocular Drug Delivery
The conformation of charged polymers is heavily dependent on interactions with the surrounding salt ions. By adding calcium ions to hyaluronan–Pluronic F-127 complexes, we prepared colloidal coacervates with decreased viscosity at cold temperatures (G′ of 10 Pa) and enhanced mechanical properties at physiological temperatures (G′ of 19 kPa) that improved the stability of the gel and prolonged drug release. The release of ophthalmic drugs, brinzolamide, dorzolamide, and dexamethasone, was tuned from 2 weeks to four months by changing drug lipophilicity. The low-viscosity hydrogel enabled topical ocular administration as eye drops and injections via thin needles (29G) under the conjunctiva. The precorneal residence time of glaucoma drug brinzolamide was extended over 48 h after topical administration and over 23 days after subconjunctival injections in rabbits. These findings suggest an approach to improve the viscoelasticity of eye drops and injectables, as well as to prolong drug delivery times via hydrogel systems.
期刊介绍:
Biomacromolecules is a leading forum for the dissemination of cutting-edge research at the interface of polymer science and biology. Submissions to Biomacromolecules should contain strong elements of innovation in terms of macromolecular design, synthesis and characterization, or in the application of polymer materials to biology and medicine.
Topics covered by Biomacromolecules include, but are not exclusively limited to: sustainable polymers, polymers based on natural and renewable resources, degradable polymers, polymer conjugates, polymeric drugs, polymers in biocatalysis, biomacromolecular assembly, biomimetic polymers, polymer-biomineral hybrids, biomimetic-polymer processing, polymer recycling, bioactive polymer surfaces, original polymer design for biomedical applications such as immunotherapy, drug delivery, gene delivery, antimicrobial applications, diagnostic imaging and biosensing, polymers in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, polymeric scaffolds and hydrogels for cell culture and delivery.
