| Abstract | An improved drug delivery system was developed, which enhances the cellular uptake by stabilizing the micelle via core crosslinking resulting in the formation of stable core–shell particles and by decorating the micelles with arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) containing peptides. In order to generate stable core–shell nanoparticles, block copolymers composed of poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate)-block-polystyrene-co-poly(3-isopropenyl-α,α-dimethylbenzyl isocyanate) (POEGMA-block-P(STY-co-TMI)) were synthesized viareversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Depending on the length of the hydrophobic block, self-assembled aggregates such as micelles, rods and large compound micelles were created in the aqueous solutions. The use of a protected aldehyde containing RAFT agent (CTA) allowed the formation of endfunctional block copolymers, producing micelles bearing aldehyde groups incorporated onto the surface allowing further conjugation with a RGD containing peptide after deprotection. The micelles were stabilized by core crosslinking through the reaction of reactive isocyanate groups with hexamethylenediamine forming stable urea containing core–shell particles. Conjugation with a RGD containing linear peptide, GRGDS, resulted in the formation of micelles bearing peptide groups on the surface. Cytotoxicity tests confirmed the biocompatibility of the synthesized crosslinked micelles revealing efficient cell uptake without causing any signs of cell damage. The conjugation of GRGDS to polymeric micelles and the core crosslinking was shown to significantly enhance the cellular uptake. |

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.
