Fast cytoplasmic drug delivery can overcome cancer cells' drug resistance and thus have an enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Such a drug delivery regime requires drug carriers capable of entering cancer cells, localizing and rapidly releasing the drug into endosomes/lysosomes, and subsequently disrupting their membranes to release the drug into the cytosol. We herein report a low-toxic and degradable poly(beta-amino ester)-graft-polyethylene glycol (BAE-PEG) co-polymer forming pH-responsive nanoparticles capable of cytoplasmic drug delivery. BAE-PEG was synthesized by condensation polymerization of diacrylate and piperazine in the presence of a PEG-diacrylate macromonomer. BAE-PEG with 2% or 5% PEG side chains formed micelles (nanoparticles) with diameters of about 100 nm. The BAE-PEG nanoparticles were shown to rapidly enter cancer cells, localize in their endosomes/lysosomes, and subsequently disrupt them to release the drugs into the cytosol. Camptothecin loaded in the nanoparticles had a higher cytotoxicity to SKOV-3 ovarian cancer cells than free camptothecin. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
