Özet

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are truncated cone-like structures that are natural cyclic oligosaccharides. Here, a simple preparation method for super porous poly(α-CD), poly(β-CD), and poly(γ-CD) cryogels crosslinking with divinyl sulfone at 150%, 100% and 125% mole ratios with respect to the α-CD, β-CD, and γ-CD molecules, respectively, under cryogenic conditions, is reported. The interconnected homogeneous pore distribution of CD-based cryogels with pore sizes in the range of 5–100 μm is confirmed by SEM analysis. The CD-based cryogels weighing 10 mg are determined as hemocompatible with <1% hemolysis ratios and >79% blood clotting indexes; whereas the same materials weighing 1 mg are biocompatible with >75% cell viability on L929 fibroblasts. Additionally, active agent adsorption/delivery efficiencies of CD-based cryogels utilizing two active agents, Bisphenol A (BPA, a carcinogenic compound) and Curcumin (CUR, a polyphenolic compound), are individually evaluated. It was revealed that p(γ-CD) cryogels exhibited the highest active agent loading capacity for BPA, 87 ± 13 mg/g, whereas p(α-CD) cryogels showed the highest loading capacity for CUR, 136 ± 4 mg/g. Moreover, the active agent release from p(α-CD), p(β-CD), and p(γ-CD) cryogel networks at pH 7.4 and 37°C were determined as 40.6 ± 2, 35.3 ± 2, and 34 ± 1 mg/g for BPA, and 1.07 ± 0.2, 1.27 ± 0.1, and 1.37 ± 0.1 mg/g for CUR, respectively, within 96 h.
