Abstract:

A multifunctional nanomicelle was designed for atherosclerosis theranostics, which was synthesized by decorating the poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)(PHEMA) with simvastatin(Sim) prodrug, fluorescent polyethylene glycol(FPEG) and the macrophages targeting molecules(ISO-1). The as-obtained polymer was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance(1H NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and gel permeation chromatography(GPC). The nanoparticle size and morphology were determined by dynamic light scattering(DLS) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM), which was spherical and with the size of about 100 nm. The MTT assay confirmed the biocompatibility of the nanomicelles. The targeting property was evaluated by cell uptake assay and observed via confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM). The results suggest that this multifunctional H2O2-respective targeting nanomicelles could become an effective tool for atherosclerosis therapy.
