Nanogels for drug delivery: physicochemical properties, biological behavior, and in vivo applications

Multifunctional polyetheramine–epoxide gels and their prospective applications in health and agriculture

“…10,11 These properties enable the fabrication of nanocarriers that can respond to various stimuli, such as ionic strength, pH, and temperature. 12,13 The high capacity for absorbing large amounts of water or biological fluids, while retaining their structure, is due to the presence of polar and hydrophilic groups in the polymeric structure, such as -OH, -CONH-, -CONH 2 , and -SO 3 H. 14,15 Studies reported in the literature have demonstrated that nanogels can reduce the premature release of bioactive molecules a Universidade de Franca, Av. Dr Armando Salles Oliveira 201, Franca, SP, 14404-600, Brazil.…”

“…Consequently, they have been widely employed as drug delivery agents. 15 They are of great interest in nanomedicine since they are efficiently absorbed by cells and can be used in tissue engineering, cancer therapies, imaging, and gene delivery. [16][17][18][19][20] An interesting family of polymers, known as polyetheramines, have been utilized to produce structured micro and nanogels.…”
