Description

Thermosensitive block copolymer hydrogel and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of high polymer materials and medicines, and particularly relates to a thermosensitive block copolymer hydrogel and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The injectable thermotropic hydrogel formed by the polyethylene glycol/polyester segmented copolymer has good application potential in the aspects of drug delivery, tissue repair, medical contrast, auxiliary surgery and the like due to the advantages of good biocompatibility, adjustable biodegradability, convenient injectability and the like.
While polyethylene glycol/polyester block copolymer thermal hydrogels have been tried in different biomedical fields, there are many times when personalized tailoring of hydrogel properties to different biomedical applications is required through polymer molecular structure design. The common temperature-sensitive polyethylene glycol/polyester block copolymer is obtained by ring-opening polymerization of lactone or lactide monomer initiated by polyethylene glycol with hydroxyl, in the obtained copolymer, the modifiable groups on the molecular chain of the polymer are few, and usually only the tail end of the polyester block is provided with the modifiable hydroxyl groups, and the hydroxyl groups carried by the polyethylene glycol block are consumed by the ring-opening polymerization initiated by the corresponding ester bonds. However, the polyethylene glycol/polyester block copolymer self-assembles in an aqueous medium to form micelles with hydrophobic polyester as the core and polyethylene glycol as the corona. The functional groups modified at the tail ends of the polyester blocks are not beneficial to the contact between the functional groups or between the functional groups and an external matrix because the functional groups are wrapped in the polymer micelle, and no modifiable chemical site exists on the polyethylene glycol blocks exposed on the outer layers of the micelle, so that the development of the functionality of the polyethylene glycol/polyester block copolymer thermal hydrogel is limited to a certain extent due to the copolymer structure with active groups only at the tail ends of the polyester blocks. Therefore, the introduction of groups which are convenient for modification in the polyethylene glycol/polyester block copolymer, especially in the polyethylene glycol block part, has great practical value in expanding the medical application and meeting different application requirements.
The gelation mechanism of polyethylene glycol/polyester block copolymer thermal hydrogel is considered to be that the block copolymer self-assembles in water to form amphiphilic micelle taking a hydrophobic polyester block as a core and a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol block as a corona, and the micelle is aggregated under the drive of temperature to form a percolation physical micelle network. However, the micelles are combined through physical hydrophobic interaction, so that the physical hydrogel has low mechanical strength, and the gel network is often rapidly collapsed under the action of body fluid erosion when the gel is applied in vivo. Premature collapse of the hydrogel network tends to cause severe burst of drug during drug delivery, which not only does not achieve the intended therapeutic effect, but may also cause toxic reactions due to excessive local concentrations of drug. In order to slow down the erosion rate of hydrogel in vivo, it is important to increase the interaction between copolymers by chemical crosslinking, etc. to realize stable degradation of hydrogel in vivo for drug sustained release systems.
