Amphiphilic inulin graft co-polymers as self assembling micelles for doxorubicin delivery

2020

This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of a new amphiphilic inulin graft copolymer able to self-assemble in water into a micelle type structure and to deliver the anticancer model drug doxorubicin. For this aim, inulin was chemically modified in the side chain with primary amine groups (INU-EDA) and these were used as reactive moieties for the conjugation of poly ethylene glycol 2000 and succinyl-ceramide. The CMC of obtained amphiphilic inulin derivatives (INU-ceramide and INU-ceramide-PEG2000) was measured by means of fluorescence analysis using pyrene as the fluorescent probe. The obtained micelles were characterized by DLS and AFM analysis and the ability to release the l…
