Effect of Alkyl Chain Length on Adsorption and Release of Hydrophobic Drug to/from Hydrophobically-modified Gelatin Hydrogel
Hydrogels have become popular as drug carriers. Controlled release of the drugs from hydrogels can reduce dosage, inducing prevention of side effects. However, the hydrophilicity of hydrogels interferes with controlled release of hydrophobic drugs such as anticancer agents or antibiotics. In this st...
