Photocontrollable water-soluble polymeric hydrogen sulfide (H2S) donor
H2S donors are not only useful research tools in biology, but also potential therapeutic agents. Here, we rationally designed and synthesized an ideal H2S donor using the concept of polymer-drug conjugates and stimuli-responsiveness. The results showed that the synthetic Poly(AEMATK10-co-EGMA60) was highly water soluble, noncytotoxic and can release H2S under irradiation of UV light in a controlled manner.
