Amphiphilic Block Copolymer Micelles for Drug Delivery Vehicles
Amphiphilic block copolymer micelles have been the focus of research for the last decades because of the promising properties as nano size drug delivery vehicles. In polar aqueous milieu, copolymers self assemble into micelle structures which consist of hydrophilic corona and hydrophobic core regions. Space created inside the micelle core can be used for transportation of drug molecules of hydr...
متن کاملTailoring Core-Shell Polymer-Coated Nanoparticles as Block Copolymer Surfactants
The effect of core-shell polymer-coated nanoparticles on block copolymer morphology is investigated systematically by controlling particle positioning within a block copolymer template. Our approach of varying the areal chain density (Σ) of short thiol terminated polystyrene (PS-SH) brushes on the particles where the molecular weight (Mn) of the PS ligands (2.5 kg/mol) is used to control the fr...
متن کاملAmphiphilic Block Copolymer Nano-micelles: Effect of Length Ratio of the Hydrophilic Block
Block copolymer nano-micelles are especially important in cancer treatment because of their fine dimensions. In this article, three systems of amphiphilic copolymers with similar lengths and different ratios of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic chains are studied using implicit-solvent coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. The factor fphil is defined as the ratio of the number...
متن کاملAmphiphilic copolymer coated upconversion nanoparticles for near-infrared light-triggered dual anticancer treatment.
The light-triggered controlled release of anticancer drugs accompanied with NIR-responsive photodynamic therapy was prepared via a self-assembly process. Firstly, Mn(2+)-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were coated with a mesoporous silica shell and modified with photosensitizer (Chlorin e6) and long alkyl chains. And then the NIR light-responsive amphiphilic copolymer containing 9,10-d...
متن کاملFormulation of temozolomide by folic acid-conjugated tri-block copolymer nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery
Introduction: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most frequent primary malignant tumor of the brain. But, the treatment of GBM is one of the most problems in cancer therapy because of poor drug penetration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Targeting drug delivery system and conjugating targeting moieties was recognized to overcome the poor penetration of chemotherapy drug...
