Abstract
Self-assembly of amphiphilic polymers with hydrophilic and hydrophobic units results in micelles (polymeric nanoparticles), where polymer concentrations are above critical micelle concentrations (CMCs). Recently, micelles with metal nanoparticles (MNPs) have been utilized in many bio-applications because of their excellent biocompatibility, pharmacokinetics, adhesion to biosurfaces, targetability, and longevity. The size of the micelles is in the range of 10 to 100 nm, and different shapes of micelles have been developed for applications. Micelles have been focused recently on bio-applications because of their unique properties, size, shape, and biocompatibility, which enhance drug loading and target release in a controlled manner. This review focused on how CMC has been calculated using various techniques. Further, micelle importance is explained briefly, different types and shapes of micelles are discussed, and further extensions for the application of micelles are addressed. In the summary and outlook, points that need focus in future research on micelles are discussed. This will help researchers in the development of micelles for different applications.

Abstract
This paper reports the development in aqueous solution of mixed micelles of tunable cloud point temperature through blending in various proportions of two copolymers of different chemical natures. For that purpose, a lipid-b-poly(2-isopropyl-2-oxazoline) (lipid-b-P(iPrOx)) copolymer, self-assembling into thermosensitive micelles that phase-separate above a cloud point temperature of 38 °C, was blended in various proportions with commercial C18-b-PEOx. The latter was constituted of a hydrophobic saturated C18 chain and a hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) block with varying polymerization degrees (x) and does not have any thermosensitive properties on the studied temperature range for any value of x. The different blends were thoroughly characterized by light scattering and UV-visible spectroscopy, revealing that hybridization between both copolymers always occurred, independent of the PEO block length. The resulting mixed micelles present TCP values progressively increasing with the C18-b-PEOx proportion, from 38 to 61 °C. This study demonstrates the relevance of the blending approach to tune the phase separation of micellar systems by formulation rather than by more tedious synthetic efforts. Shifting TCP through this approach extends the range of temperature where lipid-b-P(iPrOx) can find an application.

Abstract
In this work, well-defined poly(dimethylsiloxane)-b-poly(oligo (ethylene glycol) methacrylate) (PDMS-b-POEGMA) amphiphilic block copolymers were synthesized and their effect on human dermal fibroblast were investigated. Anionic ring opening polymerization (ROP) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) were used to synthesis the block copolymers. The molecular weight of synthesized copolymers ranged from 1000 to 2300 Da by changing the number of both PDMS and POEGMA units. It was found that the copolymer having low molecular weight decreased the fibroblast viability and proliferation by inducing apoptosis. It was proved by flow cytometry and TUNEL assay that human dermal fibroblast experienced apoptosis after exposure to synthesized amphiphilic copolymers. The results of this work suggest the use of PDMS-b-POEGMA amphiphilic copolymers with low molecular weight for hypertrophic scars remediation.

Targeted Co-Delivery of siRNA and Methotrexate for Tumor Therapy via Mixed Micelles. Pharmaceutics 2019; 11:pharmaceutics11020092. [PMID: 30795589 PMCID: PMC6409946 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics11020092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2018] [Revised: 02/01/2019] [Accepted: 02/14/2019] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
A combination of chemotherapeutic drugs and siRNA is emerging as a new modality for cancer therapy. A safe and effective carrier platform is needed for combination drug delivery. Here, a functionalized mixed micelle-based delivery system was developed for targeted co-delivery of methotrexate (MTX) and survivin siRNA. Linolenic acid (LA) was separately conjugated to branched polyethlenimine (b-PEI) and methoxy-polyethyleneglycol (mPEG). MTX was then conjugated to LA-modified b-PEI (MTX-bPEI-LA) to form a functionalized polymer-drug conjugate. Functionalized mixed micelles (M-MTX) were obtained by the self-assembly of MTX-bPEI-LA and LA-modified mPEG (mPEG-LA). M-MTX had a narrow particle size distribution and could successfully condense siRNA at an N/P ratio of 16/1. M-MTX/siRNA was selectively taken up by HeLa cells overexpressing the folate receptor (FR) and facilitated the release of the siRNA into the cytoplasm. In vitro, M-MTX/siRNA produced a synergy between MTX and survivin siRNA and markedly suppressed survivin protein expression. In tumor-bearing mice, M-MTX/Cy5-siRNA showed an elevated tumor uptake. In addition, M-MTX/siRNA inhibited tumor growth. Immunohistochemistry and a western blot analysis showed a significant target gene downregulation. In conclusion, M-MTX/siRNA was highly effective as a delivery system and may serve as a model for the targeted co-delivery of therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Micelle formation of amphiphilic block copolymers of various architectures comprising both flexible and rodlike blocks were studied in a selective solvent via dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations. Peculiarities of self-assembly of Y-shaped (insoluble rigid block and two flexible soluble arms) and comblike (soluble flexible backbone with insoluble rigid side chains) copolymers are compared with those of equivalent rod-coil diblock copolymers. We have shown that aggregation of the rigid blocks into the dense core of the micelles is accompanied by their nematic ordering. However, the orientation order parameter and aggregation number of the micelles are strongly dependent on macromolecular architecture. Relatively small micelles of pretty high nematic order parameter, S2 ≈ 0.5-0.8, are the features of the Y-shaped and rod-coil copolymer micelles. They are characterized by different responses to the solvent quality worsening. The aggregation number of the rod-coil diblock copolymer micelles increases and that of the Y-shaped copolymer micelles decreases at the solvent quality worsening. However, the order parameter grows in both cases, achieving a maximum value for the Y-shaped copolymer micelles. Herewith, the core elongates. On the contrary, comblike copolymers self-assemble into bigger spherical micelles whose core possesses a lower nematic order of the rods, S2 ≈ 0.3-0.4. The aggregation number is shown to depend on the length of the combs (on the number of repeating elements in the architecture). Possible physical reasons for such behavior of the systems are discussed.

Abstract
In the context of diligent efforts to improve the tumor targeting efficiency of drug carriers, a shape-persistent polymersome which possess a pH-tunable membrane as well as folate targeting antennae is reported. The membrane of such polymersomes behaves as gate which undergoes "on" and "off" switches in response to pH stimuli. Thus, polymersomes can effectively prohibit the premature release of chemotherapeutic agents such as doxorubicin in physiological conditions, but promote drug release once they are triggered in the acidified endosomal compartment. Importantly, the folate moieties are installed on the surface of polymersomes as protruding antennae by doping the polymersomes with folate-terminated block copolymers designed to have longer PEG segments. Thereby, the folate moieties are freed from concealment and steric effects exerted by the dense PEG corona. The cellular uptake of the FA-antennae polymersomes by tumor cells is significantly enhanced facilitated by the freely accessible folate antennae; however, the normal cells record a low level of cellular uptake due to the stealth property of the PEG corona. Overall, the excellent biocompatibility, controlled permeability, targeted internalization, as well as selective cytotoxicity of such polymersomes set up the basis for properly smart carrier for targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
The rational design of theranostic nanoparticles exhibiting synergistic turn-on of therapeutic potency and enhanced diagnostic imaging in response to tumor milieu is critical for efficient personalized cancer chemotherapy. We herein fabricate self-reporting theranostic drug nanocarriers based on hyperbranched polyprodrug amphiphiles (hPAs) consisting of hyperbranched cores conjugated with reduction-activatable camptothecin prodrugs and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast agent (Gd complex), and hydrophilic coronas functionalized with guanidine residues. Upon cellular internalization, reductive milieu-actuated release of anticancer drug in the active form, activation of therapeutic efficacy (>70-fold enhancement in cytotoxicity), and turn-on of MR imaging (∼9.6-fold increase in T1 relaxivity) were simultaneously achieved in the simulated cytosol milieu. In addition, guanidine-decorated hPAs exhibited extended blood circulation with a half-life up to ∼9.8 h and excellent tumor cell penetration potency. The hyperbranched chain topology thus provides a novel theranostic polyprodrug platform for synergistic imaging/chemotherapy and enhanced tumor uptake.

Abstract
Co-crystallization of polymers with different configurations/tacticities provides access to materials with enhanced performance. The stereocomplexation of isotactic poly(L-lactide) and poly(D-lactide) has led to improved properties compared with each homochiral material. Herein, we report the preparation of stereocomplex micelles from a mixture of poly(L-lactide)-b-poly(acrylic acid) and poly(D-lactide)-b-poly(acrylic acid) diblock copolymers in water via crystallization-driven self-assembly. During the formation of these stereocomplex micelles, an unexpected morphological transition results in the formation of dense crystalline spherical micelles rather than cylinders. Furthermore, mixture of cylinders with opposite homochirality in either THF/H2O mixtures or in pure water at 65 °C leads to disassembly into stereocomplexed spherical micelles. Similarly, a transition is also observed in a related PEO-b-PLLA/PEO-b-PDLA system, demonstrating wider applicability. This new mechanism for morphological reorganization, through competitive crystallization and stereocomplexation and without the requirement for an external stimulus, allows for new opportunities in controlled release and delivery applications. A polymer stereocomplex can possess quite different properties to its constituent homopolymers. Here, the authors prepare stereocomplex micelles of amphiphilic block-copolymers via crystallization-driven self-assembly, and observe a change from cylindrical to mixed spherical micelle morphology.

Abstract
Presented in this article is the preparation of a new theranostic vesicle which exhibits excellent in vitro and in vivo T1 magnetic resonance (MR) imaging contrast effect and good anticancer drug delivery ability. The theranostic vesicle has been easily prepared based on an amphiphilic biocompatible and biodegradable dibock copolymer, poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PEG-b-PLGA) and bovine serum albumin-gadolinium (BSA-Gd) complexes. Dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) measurements confirmed the formation and physiological stability of BSA-Gd@PEG-b-PLGA vesicles. Furthermore, the in vitro and in vivo MR imaging experiments revealed their excellent T1-weighted MR imaging function. Red blood cell hemolysis and cytotoxicity experiments confirmed their good blood compatibility and low cytotoxicity. Doxorubicin (DOX) loading and release experiments indicated a more retarded release rate of DOX in those theranostic vesicles than sole PEG-b-PLGA nanoparticles without BSA. Overall, this new biocompatible and biodegradable vesicle shows promising potential in theranostic applications.

Abstract
Conventional imaging technologies (X-ray computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and optical) depend on contrast agents to visualize a target site or organ of interest. The imaging agents currently used in clinics for diagnosis suffer from disadvantages including poor target specificity and in vivo instability. Consequently, delivery of low concentrations of contrast agents to region of interest affects image quality. Therefore, it is important to selectively deliver high payload of contrast agent to obtain clinically useful images. Nanoparticles offer multifunctional capabilities to transport high concentrations of imaging probes selectively to diseased site inside the body. Polymeric nanoparticles, incorporated with contrast agents, have shown significant benefits in molecular imaging applications. These materials possess the ability to encapsulate different contrast agents within a single matrix enabling multimodal imaging possibilities. The materials can be surface conjugated to target-specific biomolecules for controlling the navigation under in vivo conditions. The versatility of this class of nanomaterials makes them an attractive platform for developing highly sensitive molecular imaging agents. The research community's progress in the area of synthesis of polymeric nanomaterials and their in vivo imaging applications has been noteworthy, but it is still in the pioneer stage of development. The challenges ahead should focus on the design and fabrication of these materials including burst release of contrasts agents, solubility, and stability issues of polymeric nanomaterials.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to design and develop a green-synthetic, multifunctional hybrid micelles with shell embedded magnetic nanoparticles for theranostic applications. The hybrid micelles were engineered based on complex micelles self-assembled from amphiphilic block copolymers Pluronic F127 and peptide-amphiphile (PA) pal-AAAAHHHD. The reason to choose PA is due to its amphiphilic character and the coordination capability for Fe(3+) and Fe(2+). The PA incorporation allows the in situ growth of the magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles onto the complex micelles, to yield the nanostructures with shell embedded magnetic nanoparticles at an ambient condition without any organic solvents. The anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) can be efficiently loaded into the hybrid micelles. Interestingly, the magnetic nanoparticles anchored on the shell were found to significantly retard the DOX release behavior of the drug loaded hybrid micelles. It was proposed that a cross-linking effect of the shell by magnetic nanoparticles is a key to underlie the above intriguing phenomenon, which could enhance the stability and control the drug diffusion of the hybrid micelles. Importantly, in vitro and in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed the potential of these hybrid micelles to be served as a T2-weighted MR imaging contrast enhancer for clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
This review focuses on MRI contrast agents for tumor diagnosis. Several types of low molecular weight Gd3+-based complexes and dextran-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles have been used for clinical tumor diagnosis as longitudinal relaxation time (T1) and transverse relaxation time (T2) MRI contrast agents, respectively. To further improve the sensitivity of MRI, new types of chelates for T1 MRI contrast agents and combination of low molecular weight T1 MRI contrast agents with different types of carriers have been investigated. Different types of materials for forming secure coating layers of SPIO and novel superparamagnetic particles with higher relaxivity values have been explored. Various types of ligands were applied to improve the capability to target tumor for both T1 and T2 contrast agents. Furthermore, MRI contrast agents for detection of tumor metabolism were also pursued.
