Polymer micelles offer the possibility to create a nanoscopic environment that is distinct from bulk phase. They find applications in catalysis, drug delivery, cleaning, etc. Often, one simply distinguishes between hydrophilic and hydrophobic, but fine-tuning of microenvironment possible by adjusting structure polymer amphiphile. Here, we investigated small library structurally similar amphiphiles based on poly(2-oxazoline)s poly(2-oxazine)s with respect their solubilization capacity for two...
Despite decades of research, our understanding the molecular interactions between drugs and polymers in drug-loaded polymer micelles does not extend much beyond concepts such as "like-dissolves-like" or hydrophilic/hydrophobic. However, polymer–drug compatibility strongly affects formulation properties therefore translation a into clinics. Specific hydrogen-bonding, π–π stacking, coordination can be utilized to increase drug loading. This is commonly based on trial error eventually leads an...
Polymeric micelles are typically characterized as core–shell structures. The hydrophobic core is considered a depot for molecules, and the corona-forming block acts stabilizing solubilizing interface between aqueous milieu. Tremendous efforts have been made to tune increase drug loading stability of micelles, whereas role hydrophilic blocks rarely investigated in this context, with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) being gold standard polymers. To better understand corona, small library...

Inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase the family statins have been suggested as therapeutic options in various tumors. Atorvastatin is a statin with potential to cross blood–brain barrier; however, concentrations necessary for cytotoxic effect against cancer cells exceed achievable via oral administration, which made development novel atorvastatin formulation necessary. We characterized drug loading and basic physicochemical characteristics micellar...

Abstract Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare tumor and prognosis overall poor but heterogeneous. Mitotane (MT) has been used for treatment of ACC decades, either alone or in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy. Even at doses up to 6 g per day, more than half the patients do not achieve targeted plasma concentration (14–20 mg L −1 ) even after many months due low water solubility, bioavailability, unfavorable pharmacokinetic profile. Here novel MT nanoformulation very high...
