Efficient delivery of drug to tumor cells is one of the crucial issues in cancer therapy. This letter addresses for the first time that poly (acrylic acid) (PAA), a pH-sensitive polymer, is tethered to the surface of the nanoparticles by chemical grafting. The release rates of doxorubicin (DOX) are subsequently studied in vitro. The results reveal that DOX can be released preferentially at the desired lysosomal pH, and show that the anti-cancer drug carrier can be applied to the biomedical applications.

Biodegradable pH sensitive polyurethane micelles with a dense brush like coating of PEG were prepared. The PTX-loaded PEG-g-PU-3 micelles exhibited potent cytotoxicity against H460 cancer cells compared to PEG-b-PU-3 and PEG-c-PU-3 micelles.

Background: Micelles as drug carriers are characterized by their inherent instability due to the weak physical interactions that facilitate the self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers. As one of the strong physical interactions, the stereocomplexation between the equal molar of enantiomeric polylactides, i.e., the poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(D-lactide) (PDLA), may be harnessed to obtain micelles with enhanced stability and drug loading capacity and consequent sustained release. </P><P> Aims/Methods: In this paper, stereocomplexed micelles gama-PGA-g-PLA micelles) were fabricated from the stereocomplexation between poly(gama-glutamic acid)-graft-PLLA gama-PGA-g-PLA) and poly(gamaglutamic acid)-graft-PDLA gama-PGA-g-PLA). These stereocomplexed micelles exhibited a lower CMC than the corresponding enantiomeric micelles. Result: Furthermore, they showed higher drug loading content and drug loading efficiency in addition to more sustained drug release profile in vitro. In vivo imaging confirmed that the DiR-encapsulated stereocomplexed gama-PGA-g-PLA micelles can deliver anti-cancer drug to tumors with enhanced tissue penetration. Overall, gama-PGA-g-PLA micelles exhibited greater anti-cancer effects as compared with the free drug and the stereocomplexation may be a promising strategy for fabrication of anti-cancer drug carriers with significantly enhanced efficacy.
