Paclitaxel-loaded methoxy poly (ethylene glycol )-b-poly (L-lactic acid) diblock copolymer nanoparticles (PMT) were prepared by a self-emulsification/solvent evaporation method. The PMT morphology, size and its distribution, and drug release in vitro were investigated by DLS, UV, TEM and HPLC. The results indicate that PMT show a spherical morphology with inner core and outer shell. The diameter (nm) of PMT increases with the increase of the drug-loaded amount. The initial burst release is not observed, the drug releasing rate in vitro is lower, and the accumulated release increases with the increase of replacement amout of the pH7. 4 medium. This study develops a new formulation for paclitaxel and provides an experimental basis for the intravenous administration of paclitaxel.

Carrier system therapies based on combining cancer drugs with nanoparticles have been reported to control tumor growth and significantly reduce the side effects of cancer drugs. We thought that paclitaxel-loaded silver nanoparticles (AgNPs-PTX) were the right carrier to target cancer cells. We also carried out antimicrobial activity experiments as systems formed with nanoparticles have been shown to have antimicrobial activity.

Polymeric micelles are among the most extensively used drug delivery systems. Key properties of micelles, such as size, size distribution, drug loading, and drug release kinetics, are crucial for proper therapeutic performance. Whether polymers from more controlled polymerization methods produce micelles with more favorable properties remains elusive.

Local application of anticancer drugs provides a potential mode of chemotherapy for cutaneous melanoma with high compliance. However, the efficiency of drug delivery is highly limited by the physiological barrier from the skin to the tumor, which can not achieve the desired therapeutic effect. In the study, we designed ibuprofen-modified methoxy poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (ethylene imine) polymer to prepare paclitaxel-loaded micelles (PTX-M) and Carbopol 940 hydrogel containing PTX-M (PTX-Gel) to improve skin paclitaxel delivery for the local melanoma treatment.

The precise locoregional co-delivery of multi-agents is an attractive strategy for combination cancer therapy, with the imperative requirement of an ideal injectable hydrogel platform with immense adaptability and multicomponent compatibility to achieve synergetic therapeutic efficiency. Herein, the methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone-co-1,4,8-trioxa[4.6]spiro-9-undecanone) (mPECT) diblock copolymer was empolyed to prepare mPECT-modified gold nanorods (AuNR-PECT) and paclitaxel-loaded mPECT nanoparticles (PTX/mPECT NPs).

Barriers presented by the tumor microenvironment including the abnormal tumor vasculature and interstitial matrix invariably lead to heterogeneous distribution of nanotherapeutics. Inspired by the close association between cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and tumor-associated angiogenesis, as well as tumor matrix formation, we proposed that tumor microenvironment normalization by COX-2 inhibitors might improve the distribution and efficacy of nanotherapeutics for solid tumors. The present study represents the first time that celecoxib, a special COX-2 inhibitor widely used in clinics, was explored to normalize the tumor microenvironment and to improve tumor nanotherapeutics delivery using a human-derived A549 tumor xenograft as the solid tumor model.
