Abstract
The present study investigates the effect of the length of the hydrophobic poly(D,L-lactide) block on the self-assembly behavior of amphiphilic poly(D,L-lactide)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (P(D,L)LA-b-PEG5k) copolymers with a large variation in molecular weight of the hydrophobic block (ranging from 5 to 100 kDa). To evaluate the cytotoxic effect of oxaliplatin-loaded P(D,L)LA-b-PEG5k nanoparticles (OXA-NPs) prepared by the nanoprecipitation method, a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) study was conducted in cancer cell lines (MCF7, HCT116, and A549). The assays revealed that the IC50 values for OXA-NPs in HCT116 (1.93 ± 0.08 nM) and A549 (2.84 ± 0.11 nM) were significantly lower than those of pure OXA (12.70 ± 1.14 and 29.30 ± 0.40 nM, respectively). Moreover, the results showed that normal fibroblasts treated with blank NPs exhibited no significant growth inhibition in the concentration range of 0.001–1 mg mL–1, indicating their high biocompatibility.
