未经授权:基于多糖的水凝胶(PBHs)与合成对应物相比具有若干优势。它们的天然来源有助于它们的无毒,高生物相容性,和体内生物降解性。它们的性能可以微调,以获得具有所需机械,结构,和化学性质。
UNASSIGNED:这种多功能特性增强了PBHs在药物输送中的应用,疫苗,蛋白质和肽疗法,基因,细胞,益生菌,噬菌体,和其他治疗剂。基于水凝胶的制剂如纳米凝胶的最新进展,微凝胶,微针,水凝胶珠,负载纳米载体的水凝胶,和络合水凝胶使得能够精确递送多种治疗剂。这篇综述旨在全面概述水凝胶通过不同途径递送各种治疗剂。
UNASSIGNED:PBHs已用于口服疫苗和其他生物制剂,从而允许在突发公共卫生事件期间自行施用救生疫苗。缺乏用于治疗慢性伤口的商业化伤口敷料。基于PBH的伤口敷料,尤其是那些基于壳聚糖并负载有活性物质和生长因子的物质,有可能帮助长期治疗这种伤口。水凝胶的3D打印的最新发展可以使装载药物的水凝胶的快速和大规模生产成为可能。
Polysaccharide-based hydrogels (PBHs) offer several advantages over their synthetic counterparts. Their natural origin contributes to their nontoxicity, high biocompatibility, and in vivo biodegradability. Their properties can be tuned finely to obtain hydrogels with desired mechanical, structural, and chemical properties.
Such versatile characteristics have potentiated the use of PBHs for the delivery of drugs, vaccines, protein and peptide therapeutics, genes, cells, probiotics, bacteriophages, and other therapeutic agents. Recent advances in hydrogel-based formulations such as nanogels, microgels, microneedles, hydrogel beads, nanocarrier-loaded hydrogels, and complexation hydrogels have enabled the precise delivery of a wide range of therapeutics. This
review aims to give a holistic overview of hydrogels in the delivery of a variety of therapeutics through different routes.
PBHs have been used to enable the oral delivery of vaccines and other biologicals, thereby allowing self-administration of life-saving vaccines during public health emergencies. There is a lack of commercialized wound dressings for the treatment of chronic wounds. PBH-based wound dressings, especially those based on chitosan and loaded with actives and growth factors, have the potential to help in the long-term treatment of such wounds. Recent developments in the 3D printing of hydrogels can enable the quick and large-scale production of drug-loaded hydrogels.
