In this paper, a novel photo-controlled drug-loaded nanomicelles were self-assembled by the amphiphile of hyaluronan-o-nitrobenzyl-stearyl chain (HA-NB-SC) with doxorubicin (DOX) encapsulated within the hydrophobic core. DOX-loaded HA-NB-SC nanomicelles are ∼139 nm in diameter. CD44-overexpressed HeLa cells can easily take up HA-NB-SC micelles through recognition of HA moiety. DOX-loaded HA-NB-SC nanomicelles could be disassembled upon UV light (365 nm) and consequently, release DOX at desired pathological sites. Furtherly, nitrosobenzaldehyde derivative, photo-induced products of HA-NB-SC and DOX could inhibit the proliferation of HeLa cells together. This strategy may shed some light on delivery of hydrophobic anti-cancer drugs in a controlled manner.
