| Abstract | A series of biocompatible poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels that are suitable for a variety of biomedical applications have been presented. The cross-linked, water-swellable and multi-amine-functionalized PEG hydrogels (CWMPHs) with degradable phosphoester and phosphoamide linkages in the backbone were successfully produced by the condensation crosslinking reactions between PEG–O–P(O)Cl2 with different functionalities and 3-arm-PEG–NH2 pre-polymers, followed by the chain-terminating amination using propane-1,3-diamine in a one-pot process. The newly invented protocol for the fabrication of PEG hydrogels exhibits promising advantages over prior methods including a short reaction time, mass-production, easy separation, and high yield. The structures of the pre-polymers and CWMPHs were well characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, and solid state 31P NMR analyses. The mechanical properties of the CWMPHs measured by a rheometer indicate that both storage modulus (G′) and loss modulus (G′′) increase as the functionality of PEG–O–P(O)Cl2 increases. All the CWMPHs exhibit pH-sensitive water swellability and degradability at room temperature, so that they show a higher water swelling ratio and faster degradation under acidic conditions via an activated cleavage of P–O and P–N bonds. The non-hemolytic property and reasonable biocompatibility of the CWMPHs were proven by in vivo histological assays and in vitro cell viability tests using 293T and HCT-116 cells. We have also demonstrated promising positive results for the use of CWMPHs as a sustained drug delivery system, by mounting an anticancer drug – doxorubicin in vitro, with specifically enhanced release at a low pH 4.0. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
