A novel amphiphilic linear-dendritic block copolymer, semi-polyamidoamine-b-poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PALA) was synthesized and evaluated for its potential as a drug delivery system in this study. PALA was self-assembled in aqueous solution to form nanomicelles with low critical micelle concentration; antitumor drug docetaxel (DTX) was successfully encapsulated into micelles. The prepared micelles demonstrated pH-induced charge conversion and dimension changes. In vitro drug release suggested susceptibility of DTX-loaded micelles to acidic microenvironment. Hemolysis and cytotoxicity testing also indicated in vitro biocompatibility of PALA. Pharmacokinetic study in rats proved that DTX-loaded PALA micelles enhanced the AUC of DTX and prolonged drug clearance in comparison to conventional DTX injection (Taxotere (R)). It was concluded that self-assembled micelles from linear-dendritic block copolymer PALA demonstrated potential for intracellular delivery of anticancer molecules, and that its safety and efficacy in chemotherapy should be further studied.
