摘要: Biodegradable micelles based on disulfide-linked monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate)2 (mPEG-SS-PMMA2) miktoarm star block copolymers were synthesized through atom transfer radical polymerization procedure and applied to solubilization delivery of methotrexate (MTX). The characterized by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectra, gel permeation chromatography. able self-assemble into spherical in water with an average diameter up 130 nm transmission electron microscopy observation dynamic light scattering measurements have a critical micelle concentration 0.91 mg/L. When MTX was incorporated obtained micelles, high drug loading capacity found attributed the designed star-shaped nanostructure. Interestingly, presence dithiothreitol, could be degraded polymer chains cleavage disulfide linkages. vitro release studies revealed that these released over 95 % within 48 h under reductive environment analogous cell comparing minimal (<22 %) nonreductive conditions. Cell cytoxicity experiments showed exhibited nontoxic, drug-loaded anticancer efficacy better biocompatibility as compared free MTX. All results mPEG-SS-PMMA2 are promising carriers for hydrophobic antitumor drugs.
