Abstract

Inflammation process in human body can lead to many serious inflammation-related diseases. Hence, there are urge to find better solution for the treatment of the inflammation processes. Solution can be found in application of poly(methacrylic acid) hydrogels which have potential for targeted delivery and controlled release of drugs. These pH-sensitive hydrogels can swell at the pH values between 5 and 8, and release drug in the process. So, taking into account that pH value at the inflammation site is around 6, these hydrogels are materials of choice.
