Synthesis and Characterization of Cleavable Core-Crosslinked Micelles based on Amphiphilic Block Copolypeptoids towards Drug Delivery Applications
Ang Li
Amphiphilic block copolypeptoids consisting of a hydrophilic poly(
N-ethyl glycine) segment and a hydrophobic poly[(N-propargyl glycine)-r-(N-decyl glycine)] random copolymer have been prepared by sequential primary amine-initiated ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of the corresponding N-alkyl N-carboxyanhydride monomers. The block copolypeptoids form micelles in water and the micellar core can be cross-linked with a disulfide containing diazide cross-linker. TEM and DLS analysis revealed the formation of spherical micelles with uniform size. Micellar dissociation of CCLMs can be induced upon addition of a reducing agent. The CCLMs show minimal cytotoxicity to HepG2 cancer cell lines. Doxorubicin, an anti-cancer drug, can be loaded into the hydrophobic core of CCLMs with a maximal 23% drug loading capacity and 37% drug loading efficiency. In vitro DOX release from the CCLMs can be triggered by DTT, attesting to the reductively responsive nature of the core-crosslinked mcielles.
