Problems solved by technology

However, these methods suffer from various drawbacks, including poor target specificity and lethal drug release at the target site
Furthermore, it has been found that such micelles must be within a relatively narrow size range to be effective in most applications
For example, it has been found that particles larger than about 100 nm do not effectively penetrate the extensive vasculature of most tumors

Embodiment 1

[0078] Example 1 Acid and Urea Functionalized PEG-P (MTC-MAC)

[0079] 100 mg (0.5 mmol) of 5-methyl-5-allyloxycarbonyl-1,3-dioxan-2-one (MTC-MAC) was added to a solution containing In a reaction vial of 1-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl)-3-cyclohexyl-2-thiourea (TU) catalyst (9.25 mg, 0.025 mmol). To the mixture was added polyethylene glycol (PEG) (250 mg, 0.025 mmol, Mn 10,000 g / mol, PDI 1.04), followed by 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5,4,0]-undeca- 7-ene (DBU) (3.8 μL, 0.025 mmol), and stirred at room temperature for about 45 minutes.

[0080] At the end of the reaction, excess benzoic acid (5 mg, 0.04 mmol) was added to quench the catalyst. The crude polymer was then precipitated twice in cold ether and the supernatant was decanted to give a loose white powdery solid in 89% yield.

[0081] acid functionalization

[0082] Dissolve 200 mg (0.22 mmol olefin) of PEG-P (MTC-MAC) polymer in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) (1 mL), then add 3-mercaptopropionic acid (57 μL, 0.66 mm...

[0087] Example 2 - Acid-functionalized PEG-P (MTC-MPC)

[0088] 99 mg (0.5 mmol) of 5-methyl-5-propargyloxycarbonyl-1,3-dioxan-2-one (MTC-MPC) was added to a solution containing TU catalyst (9.25 mg, 0.025 mmol) in a reaction vial. PEG (500 mg, 0.05 mmol, Mn 10,000 g / mol, PDI 1.04) was added to the mixture, followed by DBU (3.8 μL, 0.025 mmol), and stirred at room temperature for about 45 minutes.

[0089] At the end of the reaction, excess benzoic acid (5 mg, 0.04 mmol) was added to quench the catalyst. The crude polymer was then precipitated twice in cold ether and the supernatant was decanted to give a white powdery solid in 89% yield.

[0090] acid functionalization

[0091] Dissolve 198 mg (0.12 mmol alkyne) PEG-P(MTC-MPC) in anhydrous DMF, then add 3-mercaptopropionic acid (114 μL, 1.3 mmol) and 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenyl Acetophenone (1.7 mg, 0.007 mmol) and mix.

[0092] The mixture was irradiated at 254 nm for two hours, precipitated twice in cold ether, and the supe...

Abstract

Disclosed is a block copolymer(BCP) capable of self-assembly into nanoparticles for the delivery of hydrophobic cargos. The BCP includes a hydrophobic block that contains a thioether functional groupthat is susceptible to oxidation, transforming the solubility of the block from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, thereby releasing the hydrophobic cargo of the nanoparticle.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject of the present invention relates to block copolymers (BCPs), and more particularly, to block copolymers capable of self-assembly into nanoparticles for the delivery of hydrophobic cargoes and in acidic and ROS-rich environments (e.g. The acidic endolysosomal compartment of tumors and cancer cells) triggers drug release, and involves the manufacture and use of such block copolymers and nanoparticles. Background technique [0002] A block copolymer (BCP) comprises two or more covalently linked homopolymer subunits, each composed of polymerized monomers. Block copolymers consisting of two homopolymer subunits are called diblock copolymers, those with three homopolymer subunits are called triblock copolymers, etc. In any BCP, linkages of homopolymer units may in some cases include linking blocks, non-repeating subunits. [0003] BCPs can be formed using a number of techniques including, for example, atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP)...
