Doxorubicin‐Loaded Polymeric Micelle Overcomes Multidrug Resistance of Cancer by Double‐Targeting Folate Receptor and Early Endosomal pH
Open accessAbstract
An optimized, pH‐sensitive mixed‐micelle system conjugated with folic acid is prepared in order to challenge multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancers. The micelles are composed of poly(histidine (His)‐co‐phenylalanine (Phe))‐b‐poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(L‐lactic acid) (PLLA)‐b‐PEG‐folate. Core‐forming, pH‐sensitive hydrophobic blocks of poly(His‐co‐Phe) of varying composition are synthesized. The pH sensitivity of the micelles is controlled by the copolymer composition and is fine tuned to early endosomal pH by blending PLLA(3K)‐b‐PEG(2K)‐folate in the presence of a basic anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX). In vitro tests are conducted against both wild‐type (A2780) and DOX‐resistant ovarian carcinoma cell lines. A mixed‐micelle system composed of poly(His‐co‐Phe (16 mole%))‐b‐PEG (80 wt%) and PLLA‐b‐PEG‐folate (20 wt%) is selected to target early endosomal pH. DOX‐loaded micelles effectively kill both wild‐type sensitive (A2780) and DOX‐resistant ovarian MDR cancer‐cell lines (A2780/DOX R) through an instantaneous high dose of DOX in the cytosol, which results from active internalization, accelerated DOX release triggered by endosomal pH, and an endosomal membrance disruption.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
