Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a method for producing a hydrogel, which enables a hydrogel comprising polyethylene glycol to be produced under low peroxidase concentration conditions and physiological conditions. The method for producing a hydrogel involves crosslinking polyethylene glycol having two or more thiol groups using peroxidase in the presence of a phenol compound.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing a hydrogel, comprising: forming a mixture including a polyethylene glycol having two or more thiol groups and a phenol compound; and adding peroxidase to the mixture to crosslink the polyethylene glycol having two or more thiol groups, in presence of the phenol compound, and produce the hydrogel. 2. The method for producing a hydrogel according to claim 1 , wherein the peroxidase is a peroxidase derived from horseradish. 3. The method for producing a hydrogel according to claim 1 , wherein the phenol compound is at least one of tyramine hydrochloride, phenol, N-lycyl-L-tyrosine, hydroquinone, resorcinol, catechol and serotonin. 4. The method for producing a hydrogel according to claim 1 , wherein the polyethylene glycol having two or more thiol groups and a thiol compound having one or more thiol groups are crosslinked using the peroxidase in presence of the phenol compound. 5. The method for producing a hydrogel according to claim 1 , wherein the polyethylene glycol having two or more thiol groups and a phenol compound having one or more thiol groups are crosslinked using the peroxidase. 6. A method for enveloping an envelopment target, comprising: forming a mixture including a polyethylene glycol having two or more thiol groups and a phenol compound; and adding peroxidase to crosslink the polyethylene glycol having two or more thiol groups, in presence of the phenol compound, and produce a hydrogel to envelop the envelopment target in the hydrogel. 7. A method for releasing an envelopment target, comprising: (a) applying a reducing agent to dissolve a hydrogel enveloping an envelopment target, the hydrogel having been produced by forming a mixture including a polyethylene glycol having two or more thiol groups and a phenol compound, and adding peroxidase to crosslink the polyethylene glycol having two or more thiol groups, in presence of the phenol compound, and produce the hydrogel; and (b) releasing the envelopment target after the hydrogel is dissolved in (a).
