Abstract  Objectives:Polymeric nanomicelles have attracted more attention since it could become a targeted delivery system of photosensitizers for cancer photodynamic therapy (PDT). Methods:The poly(butyl acrylate)-block-poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PtBA-b-PGMA) copolymer was first synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization. After the tert-butyl group was removed from PtBA-b-PGMA, mannose was covalently linked via amide reaction. Finally, BODIPY-based photosensitizers were introduced by the "click" reaction to obtain polymeric nanomicelles (Man-PAA-b-PGMA-BPDIPY). Structure of Man-PAA-b-PGMA-BPDIPY was confirmed by 1H NMR and FT-IR. The size and morphology of Man-PAA-b-PGMA-BODIPY was characterized by transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. The cytotoxicity, cellular uptake and PDT effects of Man-PAA-b-PGMA-BODIPY were investigated by MTT assay and confocal laster scanning microscope. Results:The relative molecular weight of PtBA-b-PGMA is 16 924, and the dispersion coefficient is 1.36. The appearance of a peak at 2 106 cm-1 in the FTIR spectrum of Man-PAA-b-PGMA-N3 indicates successful grafting of azide groups onto the polymer. This peak disappeared and a new peak at 1 637 cm-1 was observed after azide-alkyne cycloaddition "click" chemistry, indicating the formation of triazole bonds in Man-PAA-b-PGMA-BODIPY. Polymeric nanomicelles have uniform size distribution and excellent stability in aqueous solution. The average hydrodynamic diameter of polymeric nanomicelles is 178 nm with a narrow size distribution (PDI=0.298). Man-PAA-b-PGMA-BODIPY did not exhibit toxicity against MDA-MB-231 and HEK293 cells in the dark, while the enhanced phototoxicity was observed on MDA-MB-231 cancer cells under 535 nm LED irradiation. Conclusions:Man-PAA-b-PGMA-BODIPY was efficiently internalized by MDA-MB-231 cancer cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis, while HEK293 normal cells showed much lower endocytosis towards micelles under the same conditions. Thus, Man-PAA-b-PGMA-BODIPY shows its potential for targeted PDT of cancer.
