Amphiphilic diblock polyphosphoesters containing lactic acid units were synthesized through multistep one-pot polycondensation reactions. The effects of polymer composition on micelle formation, stability, and size were studied, and the hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance could be controlled by changing the chain lengths of hydrophobic alcohols. The encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity of hydrophobic substances inside the polymer micelles were dependent on the length of alkyl side chains.
Multistep one-pot polycondensation reactions synthesized amphiphilic diblock polyphosphoesters containing lactic acid units in the polymer backbone. At the first step was synthesized poly[poly(ethylene glycol) H-phosphonate-b-poly(ethylene glycol)lactate H-phosphonate] was converted through one pot oxidation into poly[alkylpoly(ethylene glycol) phosphate-b-alkylpoly(ethylene glycol)lactate phosphate]s. They were characterized by H-1, C-13 {H},P-31 NMR, and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The effects of the polymer composition on micelle formation and stability, and micelle size were studied via dynamic light scattering (DLS). The hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance of these polymers can be controlled by changing the chain lengths of hydrophobic alcohols. Drug loading and encapsulation efficiency tests using Sudan III and doxorubicin revealed that hydrophobic substances can be incorporated inside the hydrophobic core of polymer micelles. The micelle size was 72-108 nm when encapsulating Sudan III and 89-116 nm when encapsulating doxorubicin. Loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency depend on the length of alkyl side chains. Changing the alkyl side chain from 8 to 16 carbon atoms increased micelle-encapsulated Sudan III and doxorubicin by 1.6- and 1.1-fold, respectively. The results obtained indicate that these diblock copolymers have the potential as drug carriers.
