聚乳酸－乙醇酸共聚物合成与降解

The synthesis and co-micellization of PCL-P(HEMA/HEMA-LA) and PCL-P(HEMA/HEMA-FA) as shell cross-linked drug carriers with target/redox properties

In order to obtain target/redox shell cross-linked micelles (TCM), copolymers poly(ε-caprolactone)-poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/methacrylate-alpha lipoic acid) and poly(ε-caprolactone)-poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/methacrylate-folate, PCL-P(HEMA/HEMA-LA) and PCL-P(HEMA/HEMA-FA) were designed and synthesized. The copolymers PCL-P(HEMA/HEMA-LA) could form reduction-sensitive cross-linked micelles (CM) by using a catalytic amount of DTT. The micelles maintained high stability against dilution but were destroyed in 10?mM dithiothreitol (DTT). The drug loaded content (DLC) of CM was 8.9%, which was almost twice as much as non-cross-linked micelle (NCM). In vitro drug release at pH 7.4 showed that the cumulative release rate of CM in 36?h was less than 30%, while it was about 50% for NCM. When PCL-P(HEMA/HEMA-LA) and PCL-P(HEMA/HEMA-FA) (FA 1%, 3% and 5%) formed target/redox micelles, IC50 of TCM with FA 3% was the lowest (1.4?µg/mL) to Hela cells with excessive expression folate receptors. The cell uptake of TCM by Hela cells is higher than target non-cross-linked micelles (TNCM), while there was not much difference between both micelles uptaken by A549 cells, which are lack of folate receptors. Therefore, the drug carriers of TCM have potential to be explored as shell cross-linked target/redox drug carriers to the cancer cells on the surface with excessive folate receptors.     

Block copolymer micelles as seed in emulsion polymerization

The size of aggregates formed by poly(acrylic acid)-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) block copolymers was determined and the applicability of these block copolymers as stabilizers in emulsion polymerization was investigated. The analytical methods included transmission electron microscopy, light scattering, and analytical ultracentrifugation. Polymers with a hydrophilic poly(acrylic acid) block of equal or larger size than the hydrophobic poly(methyl methacrylate) block are efficient as stabilizers down to block copolymer-to-monomer ratios of less than 1 wt.-%. From the influence of the block copolymer-to-monomer ratio on the latex particle size, from the relation between the number of block copolymer molecules per latex particle and the aggregation number of the block copolymer micelles, and from fluorescence studies we conclude that micelles consisting of block copolymers with 35 or more hydrophobic MMA units act as a seed in the emulsion polymerization of acrylic and methacrylic monomers.     

Synthesis of Three Types of Amphiphilic Poly(ethylene glycol)‐block‐Poly(sebacic anhydride) Copolymers and Studies of their Micellar Solutions

Summary: Linear, three‐ and four‐armed block copolymers based on PEG and PSA were synthesized by melt polycondensation reactions. The CMC of the copolymer was measured using the dye solubilization method. The copolymers were found to self‐aggregate in water to form micelles above the CMC. The micellar solutions were prepared with different methods and investigated by DLS and AFM. The DLS method was used to measure the mean hydrodynamic diameters of the micelles. It was found that preparation method and condition of the micellar solution, as well as the structure and composition of the copolymer had effects on the hydrodynamic diameter of the copolymer micelles. AFM studies showed that the morphology of the micelle was spherical.

Drug release from pH-responsive thermogelling pentablock copolymers

A novel pH-dependent injectable sustained delivery system was developed by utilizing a cationic pentablock copolymer that exhibits a thermoreversible sol-gel transition. Aqueous solutions of the pentablock copolymer, consisting of poly(2-diethylaminoethyl-methyl methacrylate)-poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(2-diethylaminoethyl-methyl methacrylate) (PDEAEM(25)-PEO(100)-PPO(65)-PEO(100)-PDEAEM(25)) exhibit temperature and pH dependent micellization due to the lower critical solution temperature of the PPO blocks and the polyelectrolyte character of the PDEAEM blocks, respectively. Aqueous solutions of the copolymers above 12 wt % are free flowing liquids at room temperature and form elastic physical hydrogels reversibly above 37 degrees C. Hydrophobic probe absorbance studies indicate that pentablock copolymer micelles increase the solubility of sparingly soluble drugs. Solutions of the pentablock copolymer that form gels at body temperature exhibit sustained zero-order release in in vitro experiments. The release rates of model drugs and proteins were significantly influenced by the pH of the release media, thereby making these polymers ideal candidates for modulated drug delivery.     

Doxorubicin-Loaded Nanosized Micelles of a Star-Shaped Poly(ε-Caprolactone)-Polyphosphoester Block Co-polymer for Treatment of Human Breast Cancer

Star-shaped co-polymers based on the backbone of poly(ε-caprolactone) were synthesized by a ring-opening reaction using pentaerythritol as initiator and Sn(Oct)₂ as catalyst. The star-shaped poly(ε-caprolactone) polymer was then chain extended with a terminal block of poly(ethyl ethylene phosphate) to form a copolymer, poly(ε-caprolactone)-poly(ethyl ethylene phosphate), when using the cyclic ethyl ethylene phosphate monomer. The amphiphilic block co-polymers can self-assemble into nanoscopic micelles with a mean diameter of 150 nm and a spherical shape. Additionally, the prepared micelles did not induce hemolysis and nitric oxide production in vitro based on nitric oxide, hemolytic tests and MTT assays. The hydrophobic micellar cores encapsulated doxorubicin (DOX) in an aqueous solution with a loading efficiency of 55.2%. The in vitro release of DOX from DOX-loaded micelles was pH dependent. DOX-loaded micelles present significantly enhanced cytotoxicity to both MCF-7/drug-sensitive and MCF-7/drug-resistant cells after second incubation. Moreover, results of confocal microscopy and flow cytometry of DOX-loaded micelles demonstrate the feasibility of this delivery system for effective therapy of drug-resistant tumours.     

Effect of poly(dimethylsiloxane)-block-poly(oligo (ethylene glycol) methacrylate) amphiphilic block copolymers on dermal fibroblast viability and proliferation

Abstract

In this work, well-defined poly(dimethylsiloxane)-b-poly(oligo (ethylene glycol) methacrylate) (PDMS-b-POEGMA) amphiphilic block copolymers were synthesized and their effect on human dermal fibroblast were investigated. Anionic ring opening polymerization (ROP) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were used to synthesis the block copolymers. The molecular weight of synthesized copolymers ranged from 1000 to 2300?Da by changing the number of both PDMS and POEGMA units. It was found that the copolymer having low molecular weight decreased the fibroblast viability and proliferation by inducing apoptosis. It was proved by flow cytometry and TUNEL assay that human dermal fibroblast experienced apoptosis after exposure to synthesized amphiphilic copolymers. The results of this work suggest the use of PDMS-b-POEGMA amphiphilic copolymers with low molecular weight for hypertrophic scars remediation.     

Influence of the block length on the structure of micelles formed by polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-co-propene) in octane and 5-methyl-2-hexanone

The influence of molar mass and chemical composition of the copolymer on the structural parameters of copolymer micelles was investigated. Two polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-co-propene) copolymers with the same polystyrene block length but different poly(ethylene-co-propene) length were used. The micelles were studied in solutions of octane and 5-methyl-2-hexanone, selective solvents for poly(ethylene-co-propene) (PEP) and polystyrene (PS) blocks, respectively. Static light scattering and viscosity measurements were carried out in order to determine the weight-average molar mass, radius of gyration, second virial coefficient and hydrodynamic radius of the micelles. The association number of the micelles depends on the location of the largest copolymer block in the micelle structure. An influence of the copolymer structure on the micelle dimensions was also found.     

Hybrid polymeric micelles based on bioactive polypeptides as pH-responsive delivery systems against melanoma

The bioactive polymer poly(l-glutamic acid)_n-b-poly(d, l-lactic acid)_m was synthesized and used to form doxorubicin-loaded hybrid polymeric micelles to treat melanoma. These polymers exhibited pH-responsive changes in conformation, which controlled the diverse functionalities of the micelles. During circulation, poly(l-glutamic acid)_n-b-poly(d, l-lactic acid)_m protected Tat peptides on the micelles from proteolysis. Under tumor-acidic conditions, polymers with shorter poly(l-glutamic acid) blocks underwent a conformational change to form channels that accelerated the release of doxorubicin. The conformational change also exposed the Tat peptides to tumor cells, thereby promoting cellular internalization of the micelles. Enhanced cellular uptake of the micelles induced significant apoptosis of A375 melanoma cells in tumor-acidic conditions. In vivo studies demonstrated that the micelles with shorter poly(l-glutamic acid) blocks could effectively accumulate in tumor tissues, suppress tumor growth and help maintain the body weight of tumor-bearing mice. However, micelles with longer poly(l-glutamic acid) blocks did not undergo a conformational change under acidic conditions and performed poorly in both in vitro and in vivo evaluations. Our work provides a strategy for applying bioactive polymers to the rational construction of pH-responsive delivery systems for solid tumors and lends insight into possible conformational effects on the bioactivity of drug carriers.     

Micelle formation and polyisobutylene solubilization by polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-block-polystyrene block copolymers

Thermodynamics of micellization and the structure of micelles formed by polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-block-polystyrene block copolymers were studied. A molar mass influence on the aggregation number of micelles was found. The lower the molar mass, the higher the micelle aggregation number. The solubilization of polyisobutylene by micelles of these copolymers in methyl isobutyl ketone was also examined. The saturation concentrations of polyisobutylene solubilized by different block copolymers in methyl isobutyl ketone were determined by laser light scattering. The solubility curves found were linear and dependent on the molar mass of the polyisobutylene solubilized and the copolymer. The logarithm of the maximum amount of polyisobutylene solubilized by mass unity of the triblock copolymer varies linearly with the logarithm of the molar mass of the polyisobutylene. This variation is hardly dependent on the copolymer molar mass and strongly dependent on the type of block copolymer.
