Inulin Amphiphilic Copolymer-Based Drug Delivery: Unraveling the Structural Features of Graft Constructs.

In this study, the structural attributes of nanoparticles obtained by a renewable and non-immunogenic "inulinated" analog of the "pegylated" PLA (PEG-PLA) were examined, together with the potential of these novel nanocarriers in delivering poorly water-soluble drugs. Characterization of INU-PLA assemblies, encompassing critical aggregation concentration (CAC), NMR, DLS, LDE, and SEM analyses, was conducted to elucidate the core/shell architecture of the carriers and in vitro cyto- and hemo-compatibility were assayed. The entrapment and in vitro delivery of sorafenib tosylate () were also studied.
