摘要: Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels are water-swellable, non-toxic, non-immunogenic, and biocompatible. In this paper, we describe the generation of biodegradable PEG by cross-linking biotinylated oligomers containing intrinsic disulfide bonds via biotin-avidin interactions. The were synthesized condensation reaction between 3,3'-dithiodipropionic acid, followed with biotin. This methodology obviates need for potentially toxic chemical agents that usually used in common preparation hydrogels. Therefore it may be particularly useful biomedical or pharmaceutical applications.
