Poly (Thioether-Polyesters) Micelles Encapsulation Induces ROS-Triggered Targeted Release of Tangeretin

Tangeretin (Tan) possesses great anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation bioactivities; however, it is accompanied by poor water solubility, which leads to inefficient cellular internalization. To address this issue, a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-triggered poly (thioether-polyesters) micelle (PDHP, PEG-DTT) was designed and prepared via self-assembly, which consisted of poly (thioether-polyesters) as the hydrophilic shell, and the drug Tan as the hydrophobic inner core. The micelles (Tan@ PDHP), with a 63.15% loading efficiency of Tan, showed negligible cytotoxicity, high stability in phosphate-buffered saline buffer (pH  =  7.4), and continuous release of Tan with the stimulation of H2O2. In addition, this Tan loading micelle was more efficient in responding to the formation of ROS in the lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells compared to that of the free Tan. In short, the strategy of encapsulating the low solubility Tan in ROS-triggered poly (thioether-polyesters) micelles provides an effective assay of enhancing Tan's antioxidative activity.
