Dextran hydrogels (Dex-SS) containing both disulfide and Schiff base bonds were developed via facile method based on the dextran oxidation and subsequent formation of Schiff base linkages between polyaldehyde dextran and cystamine, denoted as the disulfide-containing Schiff base reactions. Results of rheology, swelling and C-13 CP/MAS NMR study indicated that cross-linking degree of Dex-SS hydrogels depended strongly on the molar ratio of -CHO/-NH2. Acidic and reductive (GSH) environment sensitive degradation behaviors of Dex-SS hydmgels were then evidenced by SEM, rheology study and Ellman's assay. Moreover, doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded into the hydrogel matrix and pH/GSH-responsive release behaviors were demonstrated. Cyto-compatibility of Dex-SS hydrogel and effective cell uptake of released DOX was finally proved by transwell assay with HepG2 cells. Take advantages of the abundance of vicinal hydroxyl on a variety of polysaccharides, the disulfide-containing Schiff base reactions is considered as versatile method to develop stimuli-sensitive hydrogels for local drug delivery.
