Abstract
Summary: The present work is focused on investigating the behavior of controlled drug release poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) hydrogels in the presence of β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD). For this purpose, three types of NIPA hydrogels with β‐CD moieties were synthesized with different architectures according to our previous studies. An anti‐cancer drug (chlorambucil, CLB), which can form an inclusion complex with β‐CD, was selected for loading and in vitro release studies. The drug was loaded into hydrogels via a swelling method. DSC was used to study the interactions between the CLB molecules and the polymers. The results indicate that the CLB‐polymer interactions are at the molecular level. Loading CLB into these polymers can result in an evident decrease in the glass transition temperature (T~g~), and the variation of T~g~ (Δ__T__~g~) depends on the structures of the polymers and their β‐CD content. The controlled release experiments show that the presence of β‐CD can markedly enhance CLB release from shrunken PNIPA hydrogels and increase the ratio of CLB released in total drug loading content.
