Smart polymers are materials that respond to external stimuli via reversible morphological changes, making them potential systems for drug delivery applications. In this study, dual-responsive star copolymers with a hyperbranched core composed of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) - methacrylic acid (MAA) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) arms were synthesized via two-step Reversible Addition-fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) block copolymerization. The synthesis involved the formation of the hyperbranched MAA core followed by arm extension with PEGMA. The formation of the hyperbranched core and subsequent copolymerization with PEGMA were verified by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopic techniques. The distinct EGDMA peak was found at 4.3 ppm while the peak attributed to PEGMA was found at around 3.5 ppm. Furthermore, the synthesized block copolymers were both temperature and pH-responsive with LCST value at 57°C and morphological transition at pH 5.6. The synthesized smart polymer was also biocompatible based on Trypan blue cytotoxicity assay. The inherent dual responsive behavior and biocompatibility of the copolymer render it a good candidate for drug delivery systems.

AbstractMajor challenges in oral delivery of peptides include the need to overcome gastric and intestinal degradation. pH -Sensitive hydrogels are suitable candidates for oral drug delivery of peptides due to their ability to respond to their environment. We have developed a new type of hydrogel composed of poly(methacrylic acid) grafted with poly(ethylene glycol) which can be used as drug delivery carriers for salmon calcitonin. These hydrogels were prepared by free radical solution polymerization and were molecularly designed to contain poly(ethylene glycol) tethered chains promoting mucosal adhesion and providing calcitonin protection, as well as methacrylic acid moieties, which act as calcium binders leading to epithelial cell junction opening. Solutions of approximately 0.1 mg/ml of salmon calcitonin were used to load the protein into the gels at pH = 7 and constant ionic strength of 0.1 M. In vitro release studies were performed at pH=7 and 37 °C, while keeping an ionic strength of 0.1 M. Calcitonin release was achieved. The release behavior was explained in terms of diffusional theories.
