In this paper, we successfully designed a pH-responsive micelles based on hybrid polypeptide copolymers of poly (L-lysine-4-Azepan-1-yl-butyric)-b-poly (ethylene glycol)-b-poly (L-lysine-Diisopropylamide)-b-poly (L-leucine) (PLL(A)-PEG-PLL(B)-PLLeu) for efficient drug delivery. This pH-responsive nanoparticles were able to response to different pH values (pH=6.8 and 5.5). In vitro, these nanoparticles exhibited a stable and evenly distributed approximately 51 nm, a slightly positive potential about 10.3 mv at pH 7.4, which were crucial for the circulation of drugs in blood. While size and potential were about 130 nm and 34.7 mv at pH 6.8, which were good for drugs in membrane. Furthermore, the loading capability of DOX was up to 11.3%, and the pH-responsive release efficiency reached to 68.3% at pH 5.5. The results indicated that these micelles had huge potential application in cancer delivery.

Our recent studies on PEG–Hb [poly(ethylene glycol)–Hb] conjugates generated by thiolation-mediated maleimide-chemistry based PEGylation demonstrated that the vasoactivity of the PEG–Hb conjugates is a function of the configuration of the PEG chains on the surface of the protein and is independent of the PEG/protein-mass ratio [Manjula, A. G. Tsai, Intaglietta, H.-C. Tsai, Ho, Smith, Perumalsamy, Kanika, Friedman and Acharya (2005) Protein J. 24, 133–146]. A Hb conjugated with six PEG5k chains (SP-PEG5k)6-Hb, was vasoinactive. In an attempt to understand whether the chemistry of conjugation of PEG to Hb has any influence on the modulation of its functional and solution properties, we have now generated a new hexaPEGylated-Hb, (propyl-PEG5k)6-Hb, by reductive alkylation chemistry. CD (circular dichroism) spectral measurements indicated that the overall secondary structure of Hb is not adversely influenced upon PEGylation. (Propyl-PEG5k)6-Hb exhibited an increased O2 affinity with decreased co-operativity and decreased modulation by allosteric effectors comparable with that of (SP-PEG5k)6-Hb, although its Cys-93(β) is not derivatized as in the latter. On a molecular mass basis, PEG linked to Hb by reductive alkylation increased its COP (colloidal osmotic pressure) more efficiently than when linked by thiolation-mediated maleimide-chemistry. These results demonstrate that the functional properties of PEG–Hb conjugates may be a direct consequence of surface decoration of Hb with PEG, but are independent of the site (pattern) and/or the chemistry of PEGylation. However the solution properties of PEGylated Hb are influenced by the site (pattern) and/or the chemistry of PEGylation and the presence or absence of an ‘extension arm’ between the conjugating site of Hb and the PEG chain.

Two pH-responsive block glycopolymers, poly (ethylene glycol)-b-Poly (2- (diethylamino) ethyl methacrylate-co-2-gluconamidoethyl methacrylate) (PEG113-b-P(DEA55-co-GAMA12)) and poly (ethylene glycol)-b-poly (2-(diethylamino) ethyl methacrylate)-b-poly (2-gluconamido ethyl methacrylate) (PEG113-b-PDEA55-b-PGAMA15), were synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) by directly or successively polymerization of GAMA and DEA monomers using a PEG-based macroinitiator, respectively, without protecting group chemistry. Those block glycopolymers were confirmed by proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR) and Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), and their self-assembly behaviors were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Zeta-potential. The results show both synthetic block glycopolymers were dissolved molecularly in aqueous solution at acidic pH (such as pH 3), thus it can reversibly convert to be two-layer micelles comprising DEA and GAMA cores, PEG coronas with size of around 50 nm, or micelles comprising DEA cores, GAMA and PEG outer coronas with bigger size of 70 nm for PEG113-b- P(DEA55-co-GAMA12) and PEG113-b-PDEA55-b-PGAMA15), respectively, at basic condition. Both glycopolymers have the micellization process at middle pH (pH 6-8), but possess different isoelectric points (pIs) (at pH 8.0 and 7.8) for their pH responsive block of PEG113-b-P(DEA55-co-GAMA12) and PEG113-b-PDEA55-b-PGAMA15 with DEA-co-GAMA random structure or DEA chain only, respectively. This study not only reveals the self-assembly of pH responsive block glycopolymers with different architectures by fixing similar degree polymerization (DP) of their blocks, but also provides a tool to investigate pH induced dynamic covalent interaction between glycopolymers and phenylboronic acid derivatives or a light for designing novel drug delivery carriers.
