Abstract
A cyclotriphosphazene represented by Formula 1 prepared by introducing a dendritic tetrapeptide and a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol into a cyclotriphosphazene ring, a method of preparing the same, and a drug carrier including the cyclotriphosphazene of Formula 1. The compound according to the present invention may form a strong molecular hydrogel in a very low concentration of 2 w/w % or less. Furthermore, the hydrogel prepared using the compound of Formula 1 exhibits biodegradability, thermosensitivity at around body temperature, biocompatibility with protein drugs, and an easy way to prepare along with a sustained release property without any burst effect in the early stage of release. Therefore, the present cyclotriphosphazene molecular hydrogel may be efficiently used as a drug carrier for a sustained release of a drug, particularly, a protein drug.
