The pH-/thermal-responsive hydrogels for colon-targeted drug delivery applications were prepared based on ionic cross-linked of Polyacrylic acid (PAA), Norbornene-modified Chitosan (CsNb) then chemically crosslinked with bisTetrazine- Poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (bisTz-PNIPAM). PAA provided the system’s pH-responsiveness property with least swelling and drug release at acidic, meanwhile strong swelling and release in alkaline environment. BisTz-PNIPAM crosslinker led to increasing of drug loading content because of more porosity structure, and controlled the release based on shrinkage mechanism. Hydrogels provided highly drug loading content, performed the least swelling, least drug release fraction at pH 2.2 (8.5%), rapidly swelling and enhanced release at pH 7.4 (95%). These above features made hydrogels the suitable carrier for colon targeted drug delivery.
