“…The effective property of SPHHs-AT is its rapid swelling ability [ 39 , 40 ]. The swelling ratio of SPHHs-AT preparations in an HCl buffer solution of pH 1.2 is represented in Figure 2 a.…”
Super-porous hydrogels are considered a potential drug delivery network for the sedation of gastric mechanisms with retention windows in the abdomen and upper part of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). In this study, a novel pH-responsive super-porous hybrid hydrogels (SPHHs) was synthesized from pectin, poly 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2HEMA), and N, N methylene-bis-acrylamide (BIS) via the gas-blowing technique, and then loaded with a selected drug (amoxicillin trihydrate, AT) at pH 5 via an aqueous loading method. The drug-loaded SPHHs-AT carrier demonstrated outstanding (in vitro) gastroretentive drug delivery capability. The study attributed excellent swelling and delayed drug release to acidic conditions at pH 1.2. Moreover, in vitro controlled-release drug delivery systems at different pH values, namely, 1.2 (97.99%) and 7.4 (88%), were studied. These exceptional features of SPHHs—improved elasticity, pH responsivity, and high swelling performance—should be investigated for broader drug delivery applications in the future.

“…These nexuses are three-dimensional architectures that can imbibe a remarkable amount of water while retaining their mechanical attributes. These nexuses are known as intelligent material/ smart materials as these nexuses respond to external stimuli like ionic strength, pH and temperature which in turn promote phase transition, augmented volume and pore size of the matrix ( Danish et al, 2021 ). Hydrophilic pendent moieties (-SO 3 H, –OH, CONH 2 and –CONH) aid in retaining media thereby improving swelling which results in the formation of elastic, soft architecture whose biological, chemical and physical properties can be manipulated as per desired response.…”

“…Pectin is a complex polysaccharide comprising of galacturonic acid units which are joined together through 1, 4-ɑ-glucoside bonds ( Padmasri et al, 2020 , Danish et al, 2021 , Azam et al, 2021 ). The literature survey supports the fact that Pectin has controlled release attributes as well as gelation capability which is attributed to the degree of esterification.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
