Synthetic hydrogels cross-linked by inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) click chemistry with highly tunable hydrolytic degradation kinetics have been successfully developed, and excellent in vitro cytocompatibility and in vivo biocompatibility have been demonstrated.
Hydrogels cross-linked by inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) click chemistry are increasingly used in biomedical applications. With a few exceptions in naturally derived and chemically modified macromers, iEDDA click hydrogels exhibit long-term hydrolytic stability, and no synthetic iEDDA click hydrogels can undergo accelerated and tunable hydrolytic degradation. We have previously reported a novel method for synthesizing norbornene (NB)-functionalized multiarm poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), where carbic anhydride (CA) was used to replace 5-norbornene-2-carboxylic acid. The new PEGNB(CA)- based thiol-norbornene hydrogels exhibited unexpected fast yet highly tunable hydrolytic degradation. In this contribution, we leveraged the new PEGNBCA macromer for forming iEDDA click hydrogels with [methyl]tetrazine ([m]Tz)-modified macromers, leading to the first group of synthetic iEDDA click hydrogels with highly tunable hydrolytic degradation kinetics. We further exploited Tz and mTz dual conjugation to achieve tunable hydrolytic degradation with an in vitro degradation time ranging from 2 weeks to 3 months. Finally, we demonstrated the excellent in vitro cytocompatibility and in vivo biocompatibility of the new injectable PEGNB(CA)-based iEDDA click cross-linked hydrogels.
