A novel pH-responsive copolymer micelles based on Pluronic P123-poly(β-amino ester) (P123-PAE) were firstly synthesized and designed.
The micelle solution showed obvious changes in particle size and zeta potential with the variation of pH value.
The pH-dependent drug release, cell cytotoxicity and uptake of micelles can be observed from the studies.
The P123-PAE micelles can significantly prolong the retention time of Cur in vivo.
