Folate-conjugated dual-responsive micelles were developed, sustained and sensitive drug release from the drug loaded micelles was observed. Folate-targeted micelles showed higher anticancer activity and enhanced cellar uptake than non-targeted ones.

In this article, targeted and controlled anticancer drug delivery and release with magneto-electric nanoparticles, published in 2016, rodzinski et al., explain how magneto-electric nanoparticles abbreviated as (mens) can be used to monitor the delivery of drugs and their release into cancer cells. They go further to explain how they use this automated drug delivery system to eradicate cancerous tumor cells.

A series of ABC triblock poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)75-block-poly(L-lysine)35-block-poly(L-histidine)n (p(NIPAM)75-b-p(Lys)35-b-p(His)N) (N = 35,50,75,100) copolymer bio-conjugates were prepared by combining reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization and fast ring-opening polymerization of N-carboxyanhydride a-amino acid using 1,3-dicyclohexylimidazolium hydrogen carbonate as a catalyst. All the resulting triblock copolymers self-assembled into spherical micellar aggregates in aqueous solution, irrespective of the chain length of the histidine block. The micellar aggregates encapsulated the anticancer drug doxorubicin (Dox) and exhibited high drug loading efficiency. Temperature and pH stimuli were applied to investigate the controlled release of Dox. The non-cytotoxic nature of the polymers was investigated using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cellular uptake of the Dox-loaded micelles revealed that the micelles successfully release Dox in cancer cells in response to pH- and temperature-induced morphological change. In-vitro studies further confirmed that the Dox-loaded triblock copolymer micelle is an excellent platform for drug delivery.
