Anthracene functionalized thermosensitive and UV-crosslinkable polymeric micelles

Abstract: An anthracene-functionalized thermosensitive block copolymer was synthesized, which formed micelles by heating its aqueous solution above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST). The micelles were subsequently crosslinked by UV illumination at 365 nm with a normal handheld UV lamp.

“…Because P(HPMA) itself is highly water-soluble, it can only be used as the core in polymeric micelles when it is chemically modified with hydrophobic moieties. For example, micelle-forming PEG-P(HPMA) block copolymers have been described in which the P(HPMA) block was functionalized with oligolactate [13], benzoyl [14], anthracene [15], ethylcarbonate [16] and lipoic acid groups [17]. PEG-P(HPMAbenzoyl) micelles developed in the group of Hennink showed excellent stability as well as a high paclitaxel loading due to polymer-polymer and polymer-drug p-p stacking effects [14].…”

“…[48] Due to hydrolysis of the polyester backbone, the obtained CCPM are biodegradable. Besides CuAAC, several other click reactions including [4+4] cycloaddition of anthracene[49], thiol-ene[50] and isocyanates-amine reaction[51] have also been utilized to prepare CCPM. Recently, copper-free click chemistry has been developed as a bioorthogonal tool to avoid the use of toxic copper catalysts,[52] providing an attractive option for chemical crosslinking of PM.…”
