Abstract
The present application relates to an amphiphilic polymer and a method of preparing the same. Furthermore, the present application relates to a micelle including a drug encapsulated by the amphiphilic polymer and a composition including the same. The amphiphilic polymer according to the present application has excellent drug encapsulation properties as well as good dispersion properties in an aqueous solution.
Claims14
A micelle comprising:
- an amphiphilic polymer comprising:
- a first block (A);
- and
- a second block (B) which is phase-separated from the first block (A) and includes a polymerization unit (B1) of an acrylic monomer or vinyl-based monomer of which a homopolymer has a solubility parameter of less than 10.0 (cal/cm3)1/2 and a polymerization unit (B2) of a polymerizable monomer having a functional group which is capable of forming a hydrogen bond,
- wherein the functional group is a nitro group, an imide group, an alkoxysilane group or a cyano group;
- wherein a weight ratio (B1:B2) of the polymerization unit (B1) of an acrylic monomer or vinyl-based monomer of which a homopolymer has a solubility parameter of less than 10.0 (cal/cm3)1/2 to the polymerization unit (B2) of a polymerizable monomer having a functional group which is capable of forming a hydrogen bond in the second block (B) is in a range of 1:9 to 9:1, and
- a drug encapsulated by the amphiphilic polymer, wherein the second block of the amphiphilic polymer is adjacent to the drug,
- wherein the drug includes an insoluble biologically active substance, and
- wherein the insoluble biologically active substance is one or more selected from the group consisting of genistein, daidzein, cucurbitacin, prangenidin and a derivative thereof.
