Poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(lactic acid) copolymer, prepared by ring opening polymerization, was used as a single platform to co-deliver both hydrophilic doxorubicin and hydrophobic docetaxel (DTX) in a simulated physiological environment. The average size of the negatively charged drug loaded polymeric micelles were found to be 293 nm. The drug loading (%) and encapsulation efficiency (%) were calculated to be 1.21 and 59.0, respectively. The in vitro cytotoxicity test using MCF7 breast cancer cells was conducted using 1 × 10⁴ cells in 10% FBS and 1% antibiotic, and the absorbance of formazan was evaluated at 570 nm. Cell growth inhibition by MTT assay showed viability of 33% of the MCF7 cells after treatment with drug-loaded micelles for 48 h. Controlled release of drugs from the polymeric micelles indicated a burst release effect initially; whereas, 98% of drug could be released at pH 7.4 within a time period of 96 h.

Drug release and biocompatibility of self‐assembled micelles prepared from poly (ɛ‐caprolactone/glycolide)‐poly (ethylene glycol) block copolymers

A series of poly(?‐caprolactone/glycolide)‐poly(ethylene glycol) (P(CL/GA)‐PEG) diblock copolymers were prepared by ring opening polymerization of a mixture of ?‐caprolactone and glycolide using mPEG as macro‐initiator and stannous octoate as catalyst. Self‐assembled micelles were prepared from the copolymers using nanoprecipitation method. The micelles were spherical in shape. The micelle size was larger for copolymers with longer PEG blocks. In contrast, the critical micelle concentration of copolymers increased with decreasing the overall hydrophobic block length. Drug loading and drug release studies were performed under in vitro conditions, using paclitaxel as a hydrophobic model drug. Higher drug loading was obtained for micelles with longer poly(ε‐caprolactone) blocks. Faster drug release was obtained for micelles of mPEG2000 initiated copolymers than those of mPEG5000 initiated ones. Higher GA content in the copolymers led to faster drug release. Moreover, drug release rate was enhanced in the presence of lipase from Pseudomonas sp., indicating that drug release is facilitated by copolymer degradation. The biocompatibility of copolymers was evaluated from hemolysis, dynamic clotting time, and plasma recalcification time tests, as well as MTT assay and agar diffusion test. Data showed that copolymer micelles present outstanding hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility, thus suggesting that P(CL/GA)‐PEG micelles are promising for prolonged release of hydrophobic drugs.     

Thermo and pH Dual-Responsive Micelles of N-phthaloylchitosan-g-Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and Poly(acrylic acid-co-tert-butyl acrylate) for Drug Delivery

A novel amphiphilic copolymer N-phthaloylchitosan graft poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) and poly(acrylic acid-co-tert-butyl acrylate) (PHCS-g-PNIPAAm&P(AA-co-tBA)) was synthesized. The graft copolymer could form micelles in aqueous medium, and the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the copolymer was 7.5 × 10^{? 3}mg/mL. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the micelles was measured to be 30°C. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image showed that the micelles exhibited a regular spherical shape, and the mean diameter of the micelles was 94.1 ± 0.8 nm as determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The potential usefulness of the micelles as drug delivery systems was investigated using anti-inflammation drug prednisone acetate as the model. The drug loading capacity of the micelles was measured to be 22.86 wt%, and the DLS results showed that the mean diameter of the drug-loaded micelles was 133.3 ± 2.4 nm. In vitro drug release studies indicated that the micelles exhibited thermo and pH dual-responsive release profiles.     

Synthesis of self-assemble pH-responsive cyclodextrin block copolymer for sustained anticancer drug delivery

Well-defined p H-responsive poly(ε-caprolactone)-graft-β-cyclodextrin-graft-poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethylmethacrylate)-co-poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate amphiphilic copolymers(PCL-g-β-CD-g-P(DMAEMA-co-PEGMA)) were synthesized using a combination of atom transfer radical polymerization(ATRP),ring opening polymerization(ROP) and "click" chemistry.Successful synthesis of polymers was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),proton nuclear magnetic resonance(1H-NMR),and gel permeation chromatography(GPC).Then,the polymers could selfassemble into micelles in aqueous solution,which was demonstrated by dynamic light scattering(DLS) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The p H-responsive self-assembly behavior of these copolymers in water was investigated at different p H values of 7.4 and 5.0 for controlled doxorubicin(DOX) release,and these results revealed that the release rate of DOX could be effectively controlled by altering the p H,and the release of drug loading efficiency(DLE) was up to 88%(W/W).CCK-8 assays showed that the copolymers had low toxicity and possessed good biodegradability and biocompatibility,whereas the DOX-loaded micelles remained with high cytotoxicity for He La cells.Moreover,confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM) images revealed that polymeric micelles could actively target the tumor site and the efficient intracellular DOX release from polymeric micelles toward the tumor cells further confirmed the anti-tumor effect.The DOX-loaded micelles could easily enter the cells and produce the desired pharmacological action and minimize the side effect of free DOX.These results successfully indicated that p H-responsive polymeric micelles could be potential hydrophobic drug delivery carriers for cancer targeting therapy with sustained release.

Natural Triterpenoid‐ and Oligo(Ethylene Glycol)‐Pendant‐Containing Block and Random Copolymers: Aggregation and pH‐Controlled Release

In this research, a series of random and block amphiphilic copolymers of norbornene derivatives containing biocompatible natural triterpenoid and oligo(ethylene glycol) pendants were synthesized by ring‐opening metathesis polymerization. These copolymers were heat and pH responsive, and could self‐assemble into core–shell spherical micelles in aqueous solution. Their hydrodynamic diameters corresponded to pH values and monomer sequences. By evaluating the loading and release capacity of hydrophobic molecules, it was found that 1) the higher the content of the hydrophobic triterpenoid, the higher the loading capacity; 2) the release speed could be trigged by the pH because of the deprotonation of the carboxyl groups on the triterpenoid. Additionally, the copolymers exhibited low cytotoxicity toward L929 cells, which makes them potential nanocarrier candidates for controlled drug delivery.     

Synthesis,self-assembly,and pH-responsive drug release of PHMEMA-PEG-PHMEMA ABA triblock copolymers

Abstract

A series of tertiary amine containing PHMEMA-PEG-PHMEMA ABA triblock copolymers were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using bromine-capped poly(ethylene glycol) (Br-PEG-Br) and 2-(hexamethyleneimino)ethyl methacrylate (HMEMA) as macro-initiator and monomers, respectively. The chemical structures and molecular weights of triblock copolymers were characterized by ¹H NMR and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The self-assembly behaviors of copolymers in different pH conditions were studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Triblock copolymers self-assembled into micelles in water (pH 7.4) and the micelles disassembled at acidic pH (pH 5.0). Anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) was used as a drug model and physically encapsulated into polymeric micelles. The drug release of DOX-loaded polymeric micelles was pH-responsive; the drug-loaded micelles that had higher contents of tertiary amine in polymer pendant groups showed faster release speed. In addition, the drug-loaded micelles showed excellent inhibition efficacy against HeLa cells in vitro.

Preparation and characteristics of linoleic acid-grafted chitosan oligosaccharide micelles as a carrier for doxorubicin

The linoleic acid (LA)-grafted chitosan oligosaccharide (CSO) (CSO-LA) was synthesized in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC), and the effects of molecular weight of CSO and the charged amount of LA on the physicochemical properties of CSO-LA were investigated, such as CMC, graft ratio, size, zeta potential. The results showed that these chitosan derivatives were able to self-assemble and form spherical shape polymeric micelles with the size range of 150.7–213.9 nm and the zeta potential range of 57.9–79.9 mV, depending on molecular weight of CSO and the charged amount of LA. Using doxorubicin (DOX) as a model drug, the DOX-loaded CSO-LA micelles were prepared by dialysis method. The drug encapsulation efficiencies (EE) of DOX-loaded CSO-LA micelles were as high as about 75%. The sizes of DOX-loaded CSO-LA micelles with 20% charged DOX (relating the mass of CSO-LA) were near 200 nm, and the drug loading (DL) capacity could reach up to 15%. The in vitro release studies indicated that the drug release from the DOX-loaded CSO-LA micelles was reduced with increasing the graft ratio of CSO-LA, due to the enhanced hydrophobic interaction between hydrophobic drug and hydrophobic segments of CSO-LA. Moreover, the drug release rate from CSO-LA micelles was faster with the drug loading. These data suggested the possible utilization of the amphiphilic micellar chitosan derivatives as carriers for hydrophobic drugs for improving their delivery and release properties.
