Mixed Hyperbranched/Triblock Copolymer Micelle Assemblies: Physicochemical Properties and Potential for Drug Encapsulation

Abstract: Mixed micelles have numerous advantages while requiring little to no effort in preparation. This study aims to produce mixed micelle nanostructures from a linear triblock copolymer and a hyperbranched random copolymer, and is able to be loaded with the weakly water‐soluble drugs curcumin and indomethacin. Different preparation techniques are employed to produce mixed micelles comprised of Pluronic F127 block copolymer, and hyperbranched poly[(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate‐co‐lauryl methacrylate], … Show more

“…[ 1,2 ] Micelle nanomedicines can increase the solubility of hydrophobic drugs, achieve prolonged blood circulation as well as enhance the tumor accumulation and cellular internalization via passive or/and active targeting mechanisms. [ 3–8 ] The stealthy poly(ethylene glycol) and its derivatives oligo(ethylene glycol) have been frequently used as a hydrophilic corona to stabilize the micelle nanomedicines. [ 9–12 ] However, these hydrophilic polymers are generally inert in function and bulky in size, leading to compromised tissue penetration and insufficient intracellular destabilization of micelles.…”

“…The current study investigates the synthesis of a series of homopolymeric and copolymeric injectable hydrogels based on PEGMEM and DMAEM for their use in cartilage regeneration. Both monomers have been reported to be used for several biomedical applications [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]; however, the safety of polymers based on DMAEM is still controversial [ 31 , 32 , 33 ]. The previously described synthesis procedure [ 26 ] was modified to obtain more flowable hydrogel to fulfill the injectability requirement.…”
