| Abstract | A group of poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(disulfide carbamate amine) (PEG–SSPCA) diblock copolymers is designed, prepared and successfully applied for intracellular dual-responsive drug delivery. PEG–SSPCA copolymers can be obtained by polycondensation reaction between 2,2′-dithiodiethanol bis(p-nitrophenyl carbonate) and a mixture of amino-terminal PEG (Mw = 5k) and tertiary amine-containing primary diamine. The copolymers self-assemble to form stable nanoscale micelles under physiological conditions and the micelles may undergo rapid destabilization under acidic or reductive conditions. The micelles based on the copolymer having a 1,4-bis(3-aminopropyl)piperazine (BAP) residue (termed as PEG–SSBAP) can carry anti-cancer drugs, doxorubicin (Dox) with the drug loading content of 5.7 ± 1%. The in vitro accumulative drug release test of Dox-loaded PEG–SSBAP micelles manifests slow drug release under physiological conditions and accelerated drug release in an acidic or reductive environment, but sufficient drug release in an acidic plus reductive environment. Confocal laser scanning microscopy imaging indicates that Dox-loaded PEG–SSBAP micelles are capable of delivering and liberating Dox into the cellular nucleus. In vitro, PEG–SSBAP micelles are of low toxicity against different cancer cells at a high concentration of 400 μg mL−1. However, Dox-loaded PEG–SSBAP micelles exert marked cytotoxicity against the cancer cells. In vivo, intravenous administration of the Dox-loaded micelles at a medium Dox dose of 2.5 mg kg−1 induces considerable growth inhibition of HepG2 tumor xenografted in nude mice with anti-cancer efficacy comparable to that of free Dox-chemotherapy but negligible systemic toxicity. The PEG–SSPCA block copolymer represents an efficient nano-carrier for controlled drug release and cancer therapy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
