REDUCTION-RESPONSIVE SHELL-SHEDDABLE BIODEGRADABLE MICELLES FOR INTRACELLULAR DOXORUBICIN DELIVERY
Novel reduction-responsive micelles based on a diblock copolymer dextran-SS-poly (ε-caprolactone) (Dex-SS-PCL) were designed and applied for triggered intracellular release of doxorubicin (DOX). These micelles, formed via the dialysis method, were stable in aqueous solutions, but rapidly aggregated in response to 10 mM dithiothreitol (DTT). In vitro release studies revealed quick and quantitative release of DOX under an intracellular-mimicking reductive environment. DOX-loaded Dex-SS-PCL micelles displayed significantly faster release of DOX inside cells than the reduction-insensitive counterparts, resulting in markedly enhanced drug efficacy.
