MMP-2 responsive polymeric micelles for cancer-targeted intracellular drug delivery

Abstract

Multifunctional Biotin-PEG-b-PLL(Mal)-peptide-DOX polymeric micelles were prepared to selectively eliminate cancer cells. The micelles were able to enhance cancer cell uptake via the receptor-mediated endocytosis and respond to the stimulus of cancer cell excessive secreted protease MMP-2 to release the anticancer drug and induce apoptosis of cancer cells in a targeted manner.
