Abstract
Synthetic reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive biomaterials have emerged as a useful platform for regulating critical aspects of ROS-induced pathologies and can improve such hostile microenvironments. Here, we report a series of new hyperbranched poly(β-hydrazide ester) macromers (HB-PBHEs) with disulfide moieties synthesized via an "A2 + B4" Michael addition approach. The three-dimensional structure of HB-PBHEs with multiacrylate end groups endows the macromers with rapid gelation capabilities to form (1) injectable hydrogels via cross-linking with thiolated hyaluronic acid and (2) robust UV-cross-linked hydrogels. The disulfide-containing macromers and hydrogels exhibit H2O2-responsive degradation compared with the counterparts synthesized by a dihydrazide monomer without disulfide moieties. The cell viability under a high ROS environment can be well-maintained under the protection of the disulfide containing hydrogels.
