| Abstract | In this study, docetaxel (DTX) was successfully conjugated to the monomethoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(lactide) (mPEG-PLA) polymer block via an ester linkage (DTX-PM). The polymer–drug conjugate resulted in the formation of nanosized micelles with a clear spherical shape. This size range is suitable for passive targeting via an EPR effect in cancer drug delivery. The DTX-PM exhibited a sustained release of the drug over 160 h with slightly accelerated release at acidic conditions. A cytotoxicity assay clearly revealed a time-dependent anticancer effect of DTX-PM in the squamous cancer cells. At 24 h incubation, the free drug exhibited a potent anticancer effect in the cancer cells while DTX-PM exhibited a superior anticancer effect by the end of 48 h incubation. The higher cytotoxic potential of DTX-PM suggests potential therapeutic advantages for cancer treatments. The annexin-V/PI based apoptosis assay further confirmed the anticancer potential of DTX-PM. The DTX-PM induced significantly higher cancer cell apoptosis in HSC-3 cancer cells. Importantly, DTX-PM significantly controlled the tumor progression in HSC-3 cancer cells bearing a tumor xenograft. Consistently, DTX-PM treated mice however showed a severe necrosis of the cancer cells in H&E staining and showed remarkably higher TUNEL positive apoptotic cells. Overall, a polymer–drug conjugate (DTX-PM) is a promising strategy to improve the therapeutic efficacy in oral squamous cell carcinoma. |

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.
