| Abstract | A novel disulfide- and acetal-linked graft copolymer (SACG) comprising acetal-bridged poly(ε-caprolactone)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) and PEG pendent chains and relatively short polymethacrylate backbone (DP ≈ 24) was synthesized and self-assembled for in vitro encapsulation and release of an anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX). Three-step reactions involving (i) RAFT copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate, (ii) ring-opening polymerization to generate PCL chains, and (iii) hydroxyl-vinyloxy adductive reaction to introduce acid-cleavable PEG segments were used to achieve the target copolymer. Meanwhile, well-defined normal (CP) and disulfide-linked (SCP) poly(PEG-co-PCL) comb-like copolymers and acid-cleavable poly(PEG-co-PCL)-graft-MVPEG copolymer (ACG) were synthesized and acted as analogues of SACG upon external stimuli. The macromolecular architecture significantly affected the melting and crystallization behaviors and aggregation properties of copolymers, and the difference in topology and location of cleavable linkages resulted in distinctly different stimuli-triggered drug release behaviors. Owing to the dissociation and reaggregation of cleaved copolymer aggregates, stimuli-cleavable aggregates in response to external stimuli (pH 5.0, 10 mM DTT) could exhibit faster release kinetics than CP aggregates, and the maximum increment of cumulative release from various aggregates for 72 h was liable to decrease in the order SACG > ACG > SCP > CP. The cumulative release from SACG aggregates could be adjusted in the widest range via addition of different stimuli, revealing the great potential of dually cleavable copolymer aggregates in smart drug delivery systems. |

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.
