In this paper, we successfully designed a pH-responsive micelles based on hybrid polypeptide copolymers of poly (L-lysine-4-Azepan-1-yl-butyric)-b-poly (ethylene glycol)-b-poly (L-lysine-Diisopropylamide)-b-poly (L-leucine) (PLL(A)-PEG-PLL(B)-PLLeu) for efficient drug delivery. This pH-responsive nanoparticles were able to response to different pH values (pH=6.8 and 5.5). In vitro, these nanoparticles exhibited a stable and evenly distributed approximately 51 nm, a slightly positive potential about 10.3 mv at pH 7.4, which were crucial for the circulation of drugs in blood. While size and potential were about 130 nm and 34.7 mv at pH 6.8, which were good for drugs in membrane. Furthermore, the loading capability of DOX was up to 11.3%, and the pH-responsive release efficiency reached to 68.3% at pH 5.5. The results indicated that these micelles had huge potential application in cancer delivery.

Aldehyde Groups

A biodegradable amphiphilic block copolymer of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(ϵ-caprolactone) bearing pendant aldehyde groups was synthesised by a combination of ring-opening polymerisation and thio-bromo ‘click’ chemistry. The free aldehyde groups on the copolymer were reacted with hydrophobic payloads (p-methoxylaniline as a model drug) by a benzoic–imine linker, which was responsive to pH change. NMR, FTIR, and gel permeation chromatography analysis confirmed the copolymer structures. In vitro release studies revealed that under acid stimulus, hydrolysis of the benzoic–imine bond resulted in a rapid drug release. This new amphiphilic block copolymer is expected to have promising applications in biodegradable controlled drug delivery systems.

Nanoparticles have emerged as versatile carriers for various therapeutics and can potentially treat a wide range of diseases in an accurate and disease-specific manner. Polymeric biomaterials have gained tremendous attention over the past decades, owing to their tunable structure and properties. Aliphatic polyesters have appealing attributes, including biodegradability, non-toxicity, and the ability to incorporate functional groups within the polymer backbone. Such distinctive properties have rendered them as a class of highly promising biomaterials for various biomedical applications. In this article, well-defined alkyne-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEG-b-PCL) diblock copolymer was synthesized and studied for pH-responsive delivery of doxorubicin (DOX). The alkyne-functionalized PEG-b-PCL diblock copolymer was prepared by the synthesis of an alkyne-functionalized ε-caprolactone (CL), followed by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) using PEG as the macroinitiator. The alkyne functionalities of PEG-b-PCL were modified through copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction to graft aldehyde (ALD) groups and obtain PEG-b-PCL-g-ALD. Subsequently, DOX was conjugated on PEG-b-PCL-g-ALD through the Schiff base reaction. The resulting PEG-b-PCL-g-DOX polymer-drug conjugate (PDC) self-assembled into a nano-sized micellar structure with facilitated DOX release in acidic pH due to the pH-responsive linkage. The nanostructures of PDC micelles were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). In vitro studies of the PDC micelles, revealed their improved anticancer efficiency towards MCF-7 cells as compared to free DOX.
