Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of methacryloyl-modified sodium alginate (AlgMA)-based hydrogels incorporating an antioxidant limonene-derived oligomer (PLM) for potential biomedical applications. 1H NMR spectroscopy confirmed the successful synthesis of AlgMA, enabling hydrogel formation via in-situ photo-cross-linking in the presence of PLM. The effect of 2.5 %, 5 %, and 10 % PLM was meticulously assessed on the material's properties. High PLM loads tended to decrease the hydrogel storage modulus, changing from 4.4 kPa (AlgMA) to 2.2 kPa (AlgMA/PLM10), enabling tuning from stiff to softer materials. Both physical properties and HR-MAS 1H NMR spectroscopy results indicated a decrease in cross-linking efficiency upon increasing PLM concentration, with double bonds conversion ranging from 91 % to 68 % depending on PLM load. Moreover, cytotoxicity evaluations revealed AlgMA/PLM5 as an upper threshold to maintain cell viability above 70 %, while AlgMA/PLM2.5 showed improved cytocompatibility. PLM release from hydrogels followed Weibull kinetics, experiencing a burst release followed by a sustained release phase, allowing for quick application to deliver antioxidants. Overall, AlgMA-based hydrogels incorporating PLM offer tunable physico-chemical properties, retained antioxidant activity, and a release profile within a defined therapeutic window, showcasing their potential as novel biomaterials exhibiting antioxidant properties.
