Preparation of mPEG-Hz-PLA Polymeric Micelles for pH Controlled Drug Delivery
hydrazone bonds frequently appeared in the side chains of the polymers as connections to doxorubicin (DOX). Introducing hydrazone bond onto the backbone of an amphiphilic copolymer to form pH-responsive hydrazone-containing micelles will realize the encapsulation of a broad spectrum of hydrophobic drugs. As a proof of concept
this work began with rational designing of mPEG-based macro-initiators and followed by ring-opening polymerization to construct hydrazone-containing biodegradable block polymers. A series of hydrazone-containing biodegradable copolymers (mPEG-Hz-PLA) of different molecular weights were synthesized. The diblock copolymers bear both hydrophilic PEG chain of fixed length and hydrophobic PLA chain of varied lengths. The resulting copolymers then self-assembled to form stable micelles with mean diameters below 100 nm. The study showed that these pH-sensitive polymeric micelles has a critical micelle concentration (CMC) of 5.46×10
4
mg/mL or less. Notable size change of the hydrazone-containing micelles were found after incubation in acidic media (pH=4.0 and 5.0)
while no size changes were observed for the polymeric micelles without hydrazone bonds. Doxorubicin (DOX) was used as the model drug and loaded into the core of micelles
leading to the micelles with a larger size (100-200 nm) than the blank ones. The drug loading content (DLC) and drug loading efficiency (DLE) of the micelles increased slightly along with the length of PLA. In vitro drug release study showed that DOX loaded in mPEG-Hz-PLA micelles were released more rapidly and more sufficiently under acidic conditions compared with non pH-sensitive micelles. Under pH=7.4
DOX released from both pH sensitive micelles and non-sensitive ones were less than 30% in 24 h. At pH 4.0
more than 70% of DOX was released from the pH-sensitive micelles while less than 45% of DOX released from the non-sensitive micelles in 24 h. MTT assay in HeLa and RAW264.7 cells lines showed enhanced antitumor ability for the DOX loaded pH sensitive micelles following 48 h incubation
compared with free DOX or non-sensitive micelles
while no obvious cytotoxicity was detected for the blank micelles. The hydrazone-containing micelles have great promise as a safe and effective carrier for antitumor drug delivery.
