Polymeric micelles—A new generation of colloidal drug carriers
Abstract
Polymeric micelles have recently emerged as a novel promising colloidal carrier for the targeting of poorly water soluble and amphiphilic drugs. Polymeric micelles are considerably more stable than surfactant micelles and can solubilize substantial amounts of hydrophobic compounds in their inner core. Due to their hydrophilic shell and small size they sometimes exhibit prolonged circulation times in vivo and can accumulate in tumoral tissues. This review examines the chemical nature of polymeric micelles as well as the methods used to characterize them with regard to drug delivery. Special emphasis is put on the determination of critical micelle concentration and on drug loading procedures. Potential medical applications, especially in cancer chemotherapy, are described and discussed.

“Moreover, nanomicelles compared to conventional micelles are more thermodynamically stable in physiological solutions. This stability is indicated by the lower critical micellar concentration (CMC), which is essential for the stability and slow dissociation in vivo microenvironment [9].”

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.
