Crosslinked polymer nanomaterials have attracted great attention due to their stability and highly controllable drug delivery; herein, a series of well-defined amphiphilic PDPA--P(NMS--OEG) diblock terpolymers (P1-P3) were designed and prepared RAFT polymerization and were self-assembled into non-cross-linked (NCL) nanomicelles, which were further prepared into shell-cross-linked (SCL) micelles cystamine-based shell cross-linking. Using P3 as an optimized polymer, SCL-P3 micelles were prepared, which demonstrated remarkable pH/redox-dual responsive behaviour. For drug delivery, camptothecin (CPT)-loaded SCL-P3 micelles were prepared and showed much higher CPT-loading capability than their NCL-P3 counterparts. Notably, the SCL-P3 micelles showed good synergistic pH/redox-dual responsive CPT release properties, making them potential "smart" nanocarriers for drug delivery.
交联聚合物纳米材料因其稳定性和高度可控的药物递送而备受关注;在此,通过可逆加成-断裂链转移(RAFT)聚合设计并制备了一系列结构明确的两亲性聚(2-二甲基氨基乙基丙烯酸酯)-聚(N-甲基丙烯酰氧琥珀酰亚胺-聚乙二醇)三嵌段共聚物(P1-P3),它们自组装成非交联(NCL)纳米胶束,进一步通过基于胱胺的壳交联制备成壳交联(SCL)胶束。以P3作为优化聚合物,制备了SCL-P3胶束,其表现出显著的pH/氧化还原双响应行为。用于药物递送时,制备了载有喜树碱(CPT)的SCL-P3胶束,其CPT负载能力比NCL-P3对应物高得多。值得注意的是,SCL-P3胶束表现出良好的pH/氧化还原双响应协同CPT释放特性,使其成为潜在的药物递送“智能”纳米载体。
