Abstract

Agarose is a prominent marine polysaccharide representing reversible thermogelling behavior, outstanding mechanical properties, high bioactivity, and switchable chemical reactivity for functionalization. As a result, agarose has received particular attention in the fabrication of advanced delivery systems as sophisticated carriers for therapeutic agents. The ever-growing use of agarose-based biomaterials for drug delivery systems resulted in rapid growth in the number of related publications, however still, a long way should be paved to achieve FDA approval for most of the proposed products. This review aims at a classification of agarose-based biomaterials and their derivatives applicable for controlled/targeted drug delivery purposes. Moreover, it attempts to deal with opportunities and challenges associated with the future developments ahead of agarose-based biomaterials in the realm of advanced drug delivery. Undoubtedly, this class of biomaterials needs further advancement, and a lot of critical questions have yet to be answered. © 2020
