| Abstract | A folic acid (FA) conjugated chitosan oligosaccharide (CSO) polylactic acid (PLA) copolymer FA-CSO-PLA with double disulphide linkage in the backbone directed by H-bonding association duplex was synthesized, and its self-assembled micelles were evaluated as smart targeted drug delivery carriers. Both of the intermediates and the terminal copolymers were characterized by 1H-NMR and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The critical micelle concentration (CMC) value is 0.045 mg mL−1 which suggests the micelles are highly stable in dilute solution. TEM and DLS further confirmed the successful formation of micelles with an average size of 61 and 100 nm, PDI of 0.209 and 0.230 for blank and DOX loaded micelles, respectively. The micelles were destructed under a reductive environment, leading to encapsulated drug release. Moreover, fluorescence microscopy demonstrated that the micelles exhibited both a passive and active targeting ability in HeLA cells due to an EPR effect and folate-mediated endocytosis. These results suggested the micelles would provide a favourable platform for constructing excellent drug delivery systems for 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.
