Abstract: Novel amphiphilic polymers, cholesterol-end-capped poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine)(CMPC) was specially designed as the drug delivery systems. Cytotoxicity of this novel amphiphiles was not observed as indicated by cell culture. Anti-cancer drug adriamycin(ADR) was incorporated into the micelles by oil-in-water method. The release of ADR from the nanosphere continued over 7 d. The drug-loaded micelles could effectively restrain the growth of cancer cell. These results suggest that the drug loaded nanoparticles could be a good candidate for injectable drug delivery carrier.

Key words: Polymeric micelles, Biomimetic of cell membrane, Drug sustained release, Biocompatibility, Phosphorylcholine
