In this paper, a cellulose-based hydrogel with the ability to lower glucose levels, scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS), and colorimetrically monitor early lesions was synthesized to address the issue of glucose and H2O2overexpression on the wound surface. Briefly, boronic acid pinacol ester containing phenolphthalein (BAPE-PPH) was employed as a crosslinker to react with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) to afford hydrogels (HPMC@PPH-Hs) with good biocompatibility. Because glucose has higher affinity for the phenylboronic ester group than cellulose derivatives, the HPMC@PPH-Hs showed excellent glucose-lowering performance. The presence of B-C bonds in the network endows the as-obtained hydrogel with H2O2sensitivity, and cleavage of the B-C bonds forces the transformation of BAPE-PPH moieties into PPH, giving rise to colorimetric behaviour. Thus, the obtained HPMC@PPH-Hs provide information to enrich the family of smart hydrogels, and its potential application in diabetic wound healing may be desirable.Graphical abstract
