Abstract Poly(ε-caprolactone-co-lactic acid)-PEG copolymer diols (PCLA) were prepared by ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone and L-lactide initiated by polyethylene glycol (Mw 1000). PCLA prepolymer monomers (PCLAMA) were prepared by end capping with methacrylic anhydride. The composition and structure of the synthesized products were characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR and gel permeation chromatography. Hydrogel nanospheres(PCLAMA-AP)were prepared by UV initiated polymerization, using PCLAMA as a macromolecular cross-linker and N-vinylpyrrolidone and acrylic acid as monomers. Swelling, degradation, drug release and cytotoxicity of the hydrogel nanospheres were analyzed, and results show that the hydrogel nanospheres are pH-responsive and the swelling ratio of the hydrogel increases with pH increasing. The drug loading of tea polyphenol in the hydrogel nanospheres with the best monomer ratio is more than 57%, with cumulative drug release over 132 h reaching almost 30%. The hydrogel nanospheres are non-cytotoxic as evidenced by a cell viability of over 94% after co-culture with human adipose derived stem cells for 48 h, and are also observed to successfully enter the cells. The hydrogel nanospheres thus have potential to be used as drug carriers, which may greatly improve the bioavailability of tea polyphenols.
