A pH-responsive polymer based on dynamic imine bonds as a drug delivery material with pseudo target release behavior

In this study, pentaerythritol tetra(3-mercaptopropionate)-allylurea-poly(ethylene glycol) (PETMP-AU-PEG), produced by the Schiff-base reaction between terminal-aldehyded PEG and PETMP-AU, was used to prepare doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded polymers for triggered release.
