Two rhodamine-based polymers were prepared via free radical polymerization and could serve as lysosome targeting probes with good pH sensitivity. Fluorescence imaging of nude mice displayed a chance for visualization of cancerous tissue in vivo by sensing its acidic microenvironments.

A new variety of pH-sensitive polymeric hydrogels (IAE) have been developed and evaluated as biocompatible hydrogels using synergetic combinations of itaconic acid (IA), acrylic acid (AA), and ethylene glycol (EG) in water medium by free radical polymerization.

Two conjugates of anticancer drug doxorubicin (Dox) covalently bound by the hydrolytically degradable hydrazone bond to the polymer carrier based on water-soluble N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymers were synthesized and their properties were compared, namely their behavior in vivo. The polymer carriers differed in dispersity due to different methods of synthesis; the carrier with relatively high dispersity (HD) was prepared by free radical polymerization (Mw = 29 900 g/mol, Ð = 1.75) and the carrier with low dispersity (LD) by controlled radical polymerization (Mw = 30 000 g/mol, Ð = 1.13). Both polymer-Dox conjugates showed prolonged blood circulation and tumor accumulation of the drug in comparison with the free drug; e.g. the tumor-to-blood ratio for the polymer-bound Dox was 3-5 times higher. The LD polymer-Dox conjugate exhibited moderately higher tumor accumulation than the HD one at a dose of 1 x 15 mg Dox (eq.)/kg. Also, their anti-tumor activity did not differ when injected at this dose. However, the increase of the dose to 1 x 25 mg Dox (eq.)/kg resulted in the enhanced therapeutic activity of the conjugates, especially of the LD one with 100 % of long-term survivals. The dispersity of polymer drug carriers influenced the tumor accumulation rate, which affected the overall anti-cancer activity of polymer-drug conjugates.

Thermochromic poly(N-vinylcaprolactam-co-tricyanofuran hydrazone) [Poly(VC-co-TCFH)] gel labeled with halochromic chromophore was developed using traditional free radical polymerization. Novel vinyl-containing tricyanofuran hydrazone (TCFH) halochromic chromophore bearing a hydrazone sensor group was generated...
