Abstract
Thermo- and pH-responsive semi-IPN polyampholyte hydrogels were prepared by using carboxymethyl chitosan and P(2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) with N N'-Methylenebisacrylamide (BIS) as crosslinking agent. It was found that the semi-IPN hydrogel shrunk most at the isoelectric point (IEP) and swelled when pH deviated from the IEP. Its swelling ratio dramatically decreased between 30 and 50 °C at pH 6.8 buffer solution. It also showed good reversibility. The UV results showed that when the pH values of drug release medium were 3.7, 6.8, and 9 at 25 °C, the cumulative release rates reached 83.1, 51.5, and 72.2%, respectively. The release rate of coenzyme A (CoA) was higher at 50 °C than 37 and 25 °C at pH 6.8 solution. The release rate decreased with increasing the content of carboxymethyl chitosan at 25 °C in pH 6.8 solution. The results showed that semi-IPN hydrogel seems to be of great promise in pH/temperature drug delivery systems.
