Stability and Release Performance of a Series of Pegylated Copolymeric Micelles
Abstract
Purpose The aim of this work is to evaluate the capability of a series of biocompatible amphiphilic copolymers as a nano-sized drug carrier.Methods The influences of the type of lactone monomer, the feed molar ratios of lactone/PEG, and the molecular weight of PEG on the performance and release behavior of micelles are investigated.Results These pegylated amphiphilic copolymers efficiently form micelles with a low CMC value in the range of 10(6)-10(-7) M. The average particle size of micelles is approximately 100 nm. The phenomenon of increasing particle size as increasing the chain length of poly(lactone) block is observed. The different hydrophobicity, based on chemical structure of poly(lactone), accounts for different interaction strength between indomethacin and hydrophobic inner core, which further influences the drug loading in copolymeric micelles and their release character. In addition, the PCL/PEG/PCL micellar solutions maintain their sizes at 4 degrees C for 8 weeks without occurring significant aggregation or dissociation.Conclusions A series of biocompatible pegylated amphiphilic copolymers have been elucidated possessing micellization potential to form nano-sized micelles in an aqueous environment, which enable incorporate hydrophobic drug and regulate drug release.

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.
