General description
Block copolymer micelles are widely used in drug delivery applications. PEG-PDLLA is a biodegradable polymeric micelle which is used as a carrier for hydrophobic drugs like Paclitaxel. The hydrophilic PEG and hydrophobic PDLLA form the micelle core wherein the hydrophobic drug is loaded. The incorporation of the 10-alkyl end cap (decane) increases the hydrophobicity of the micelle core and increases its solubilizing capability for hydrophobic drugs.â€
Application
Used as a carrier for the controlled and targeted release of anticancer hydrophobic drugs.
Features and Benefits
- Good biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and good degradability.
- Properties can be easily modulated by changing the block copolymer segment sizes to suit a particular application.
