The pH-sensitive tertiary amino groups were introduced to synthesize temperature and pH dual-sensitive degradable polyaspartamide derivatives (phe/DEAE-g-PHPA) containing pendant aromatic structures and ionizable tertiary amino groups. The thermo/pH-responsive behavior of phe/ DEAE-g-PHPA polymer can be tuned by adjusting the graft copolymer composition. Due to the pH sensitivity of the phe/ DEAE-g-PHPA-g-mPEG polymer with hydrophilic long PEG chain, the micelles and the anticancer drug-loaded micelles were prepared by a quick pH-changing method without using toxic organic solvent. The obtained polymeric micelles, paclitaxel-loaded micelles and doxorubicin-loaded micelles were stable under physiological conditions. Both the drugloaded micelles showed much faster release at pH 5 than at pH 7.4. The doxorubicin-loaded micelles showed obvious and better anticancer activity against both HepG2 and HeLa cells than free doxorubicin. Thus these nontoxic, dual thermo-and pHsensitive phe/DEAE-g-PHPA-g-mPEG micelles may be a promising anticancer drug delivery system.
