Due to a strong retardation effect of o-nitrobenzyl ester on polymerization, it is still a great challenge to prepare amphiphilic block copolymers for polymersomes with a o-nitrobenzyl ester-based hydrophobic block. Herein, we present one such solution to prepare amphiphilic block copolymers with pure poly (o-nitrobenzyl acrylate) (PNBA) as the hydrophobic block and poly (N,N’-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) as the hydrophilic block using bulk reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of o-nitrobenzyl acrylate using a PDMA macro-RAFT agent. The developed amphiphilic block copolymers have a suitable hydrophobic/hydrophilic ratio and can self-assemble into photoresponsive polymersomes for co-loading hydrophobic and hydrophilic cargos into hydrophobic membranes and aqueous compartments of the polymersomes. The polymersomes demonstrate a clear photo-responsive characteristic. Exposure to light irradiation at 365 nm can trigger a photocleavage reaction of o-nitrobenzyl groups, which results in dissociation of the polymersomes with simultaneous co-release of hydrophilic and hydrophobic cargoes on demand. Therefore, these polymersomes have great potential as a smart drug delivery nanocarrier for controllable loading and releasing of hydrophilic and hydrophobic drug molecules. Moreover, taking advantage of the conditional releasing of hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs, the drug delivery system has potential use in medical applications such as cancer therapy.

Synthesis of ester-linked glucoside conjugate of docetaxel, 7-propionyldocetaxel 3''- O-α-D-glucopyranoside, was carried out by chemo-enzymatic procedures. The EE and LE values for hybrid-bio-nanocapsules of 7-propionyldocetaxel 3''- O-α-D-glucopyranoside were much improved rather than those of docetaxel. The hybrid-bio-nanocapsules targeted with trastuzumab and cetuximab, which contained 7-propionyldocetaxel 3''- O-α-D-glucopyranoside, showed high in vivo anti-cancer activity, ie, effective suppression of tumor growth, respectively.

Chemo-enzymatic synthesis of glycolyl-ester-linked taxol-glucose conjugate, ie, 7-glycolyltaxol 2′- O-α-D-glucoside, was achieved by using α-glucosidase as a biocatalyst. The water-solubility of 7-glycolyltaxol 2′- O-α-D-glucoside (21 μM) was 53 fold higher than that of taxol. The hepatitis B virus envelope L particles (bio-nanocapsules) are effective for delivering 7-glycolyltaxol 2′- O-α-D-glucoside to human hepatocellular carcinoma NuE cells.

Chemo-enzymatic synthesis of the ester-linked monosaccharide conjugate of docetaxel, 7-glycolyldocetaxel 2″- O-β-D-galactopyranoside, was achieved by using lactase as a biocatalyst. The water-solubility and, EE and LE values for the liposome of 7-glycolyldocetaxel 2″- O-β-D-galactopyranoside were much higher than those of docetaxel. The immunoliposome containing 7-glycolyldocetaxel 2″- O-β-D-galactopyranoside showed effective suppression of tumor growth.
