Polymerizable and hydrolytically cleavable dexamethasone (DEX, red dot in picture) derivatives were covalently entrapped in core-cross-linked polymeric micelles that were prepared from a thermosensitive block copolymer (yellow and gray building block). By varying the oxidation degree of the thioether in the drug linker, the release rate of DEX could be controlled. The DEX-loaded micelles were used for efficient treatment of inflammatory arthritis in two animal models.
将可聚合和可水解的地塞米松(DEX,图片中的红点)衍生物共价包埋在核心交联聚合物胶束中,这些胶束是由热敏嵌段共聚物(黄色和灰色结构单元)制备的。通过改变药物连接物中硫醚的氧化程度,可以控制 DEX 的释放速率。载有 DEX 的胶束用于两种动物模型中炎症性关节炎的有效治疗。
