| pubmed-article:17691844 | pubmed:abstractText | Block copolymers poly(2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate)-b-poly(polyethylene glycol methacrylate) (PDMAEMA-b-P(PEGMA)) were prepared via reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT). The polymerization was found to proceed with the expected living behavior resulting in block copolymers with varying block sizes of low polydispersity (PDI <1.3). The resulting block copolymer was self-assembled in an aqueous environment, leading to the formation of pH-responsive micelles. Further stabilization of the micellar system was performed in water using ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and the RAFT process to cross-link the shell. The cross-linked micelle was found to have properties significantly different from those of the uncross-linked block copolymer micelle. While a distinct critical micelle concentration (CMC) was observed using block copolymers, the CMC was absent in the cross-linked system. In addition, a better stability against disintegration was observed when altering the ionic strength such as the absence of changes of the hydrodynamic diameter with increasing NaCl concentration. Both cross-linked and uncross-linked micelles displayed good binding ability for genes. However, the cross-linked system exhibited a slightly superior tendency to bind oligonucleotides. Cytotoxicity tests confirmed a significant improvement of the biocompatibility of the synthesized cross-linked micelle compared to that of the highly toxic PDMAEMA. The cross-linked micelles were taken up by cells without causing any signs of cell damage, while the PDMAEMA homopolymer clearly led to cell death. | lld:pubmed |
