Abstract

Multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles encapsulated into a thermoresponsive polymer shell allowed the simultaneous cancer therapy due to the thermo-triggered drug release and a heating for hyperthermia can be performed simultaneously under AC magnetic field. In our study, micelles made of amphiphilic block copolymer of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylamide)-block- poly(ε-caprolaction), P(NIPAAm-co-AAm)-b-PCL, were combined with iron oxide nanoparticles and doxorubicin anti-cancer drug which are self-assembled at the micelles hydrophobic interior. The feasibility of the synthesized magnetic micelles for the simultaneous therapy was demonstrated through drug release test at the hyperthermic temperature.
