Abstract:

Recently, the smart glucose-sensitive self-regulated drug delivery systems have attracted extensive attention. These smart drug delivery platforms can mimic the physiological model of pancreatic insulin secretion with a timely precise drug dose to control the blood glucose level effectively, and has broad application prospects in the treatment of diabetes. Phenylboronic acid(PBA)-functionalized glucose-sensitive polymer nanocarriers have been studied widely and have great stability, long term storability, and reversible glucose-sensitivity. According to response factors, there are pH-, temperature-, and light-responsive nanocarriers for glucose-sensitive drug delivery. This review covers the development, properties, and applications of glucose sensitive nanocarriers based on PBA, and the prospects are predicted.

Key words: glucose-sensitivity, phenylboronic acid, polymer nanocarrier, drug delivery, diabetes therapy
