Abstract:

A synthetic diblock copolymerpoly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-poly(D,L-lactide) (PEOz-PLA) can self-assemble into micelles with an increased efficiency of drug delivery. However, the interactions of blood-micelles and cell-micelles remain unclear. In the present study, we aimed to assess the hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility of PEOz-PLA micelles in order to clarify its potentials as carriers for drug delivery. Blood compatibility of the micelles was evaluated by hemolysis analysis, coagulation test, platelet activation investigation and assessment of their interaction with protein. The results revealed that PEOz-PLA micelles had a favorable blood compatibility. In addition, PEOz-PLA micelles showed a good cytocompatibility through SRB assay, presenting only negligible cytotoxicity when incubated with KBv cells. Taken together, PEOz-PLA micelles could be used as a hemocompatible andcytocompatible drug carrier for intravenous administration.
