An inflammatory-responsive intelligent controlled-release drug-loaded membrane (polycaprolactone/poly (hydroxyethyl methacrylate hydroxyethyl-methacrylate -2-(2-(1-(4 chlorobenzoyl)-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indol -3-yl) acetoxy) ethyl meth acylate) PCL/P(HEMA-HEIn) was prepared. Drug precursors HEIn was synthesized by the esterification reaction between indomethacin (Indo) and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and the structure of HEIn was confirmed by C-13 NMR and ESI-MS. Through in-situ crosslinking polymerization and solvent evaporation, the drug-loaded membranes were fabricated. Furthermore, the morphology, chemical and physical properties demonstrated that HEIn and HEMA were copolymerized and well dispersed in the film. The drug released from PCL/P(HEME-HEIn) could be triggered by inflammation environment and the release amount increased along with the degree of inflammation. Results of in vivo evaluation proved that the PCL/P(HEME-HEIn) film had the capacity of inhibiting inflammation, which was beneficial to wound healing. The proposed strategy towards PCL/P(HEME-HEIn) opened new window for drug controlled-releasing via inflammatory response.
