Outline of Final Research Achievements |
pH- and reducing environment-responsive gel particles were prepared by soap-free emulsion copolymerization of N, N-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DEAEMA), poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate and cystamine bisacrylamide (CBA). The resulting gel particles were colloidally stable and had diameters of approximately 200 nm. Under acidic conditions, the swelling ratio of the CBA-DEAEMA gel particles increased drastically in response to glutathione as a reducing agent. The drastic swelling of the gel particles under acidic and reducing environment is attributed to ionization of DEAEMA and dissociation of disulfide bonds of CBA that act as crosslinks. In addition, DiI, hydrophobic fluorescent dye, was successfully loaded into the CBA-DEAEMA gel particles. The DiI-loaded gel particles were taken up by L929 cells by endocytosis. In addition, the release of doxorubicin from gel particles were successfully increased with acidic and reducing environment.
