Gliomas are tumors of the central nervous system; they can be invasive and are commonly treated by surgical resection, chemo, and radiotherapy. Removal of a glioma is dangerous and not always successful. Temozolomide (TMZ), the first-line chemotherapy drug for gliomas, inhibit tumor recurrence, and metastasis to some extent. TMZ is often accompanied by side effects such as anemia, fever, constipation, and more. Here using a double-targeted Kunitz domain Angiopep-2 (ANG) modified block copolymer poly(lactic acid)-polyethylene glycol (PEG-PLA) coated with TMZ, we constructed a nano-delivery system (ANG@PLA-PEG/TMZ) that crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to treat gliomas.

Organic/inorganic hybrid materials based upon stimuli-responsive copolymers have attracted an inceasing attention. Compared with the polymeric materials, these hybrid materials can form aggregates in aqueous solution with much more stable shape-persistance due to the inorganic structure, which facilitate the mass delivery and long-term life. A novel hybrid material based on a new reactive block copolymer, poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly{3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate-co-N-isopropylacrylamide-co-6-[4-(4-methoxyphenylazo)phenoxy]hexyl methacrylate} [PEO-P(TMSPMA-NIPAM-AzoMA)] was synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The vesicles were obtained by self-assembly of the resulting block copolymer in a selective solvent, and then the PTMSPMA block was subjected to hydrolysis and polycondensation reaction to fix vesicle wall in the presence of triethylamine as a catalyst. The photo- and thermo- dual-responsive properties of the vesicles were investigated.
