Abstract
Hydrogels are emerging drug delivery vehicles as they provide better biocompatibility, less toxicity, and biodegradability than other systems. Smart hydrogels interact with external stimuli and release their constituents according to their logic gate algorithm. Multi-stimuli drug-loaded hydrogels respond to the tumor microenvironment's features and permit controlled in situ release and efficient drug delivery. Thermo–pH-sensitive hydrogels react to the temperature and the acidic microenvironment of tumor cells, whereas redox–pH hydrogels react with glutathione in the tumor cell cytoplasm. Here, we comprehensively classify and analyze the recent developments in multi-stimuli responsive hydrogels used against cancer cell lines for their cytotoxicity.
