The invention relates to a reducing responsive targeted polymeric
micelle for
mucus penetration and a preparation method of the polymeric
micelle. An amphiphilic polymeric combination is formed by combining
PLGA (poly (lactic-co-
glycolic acid)) and PEG (
polyethylene glycol) through a reducing responsive
disulfide bond, and the reducing responsive polymeric
micelle is formed by assembling the polymeric combination, so that excellent performances of
mucus penetration, reducing responsive
bond breaking and targeted
cell-mediated
endocytosis are achieved, and the effective grain size of the polymeric micelle is 70-110nm, so that the polymeric micelle is more uniform in grain size; the surface of the micelle which is covered in PEG is neutral, so that
cytotoxicity is low; the polymeric micelle is capable of penetrating into a bottom
cell layer in a
mucus layer and a
glutathione solution is injected as the polymeric micelle reaches the bottom cells, at which time the reducing responsive
disulfide bond is broken, PEG protection is removed, covered targeted
folic acid is exposed and is subjected to specific combination with a
folic acid receptor which undergoes over-expression on the surface of a
cell membrane of focus cells, and an
endocytosis action is mediated by virtue of the
folic acid receptor, so that cell-entering efficiency of
nano carriers is improved and more carriers enter the cells to take a sustained / controlled-release effect on medicines; therefore, a
therapeutic effect is enhanced.
