  • Patent number: 7510731
    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward water-soluble supramolecular self-assemblies and a process for their preparation via micellization of polyelectrolytes through the use of hydrophobic monomeric units. In this invention the polyelectrolyte segment ultimately forms the core of the supramolecular assembly whereas the shell consists of uncharged hydrophilic polymers or oligomers. It has been determined that the inclusion of the hydrophobic co-monomers to the polyelectrolyte segment forming the micelle core leads to a structure of enhanced stability.

  • Patent number: 6780428
    Abstract: The present invention describes the preparation of unimolecular polymeric micelles (UPM) that bear a hydrophilic shell and a potentially ionizable and relatively hydrophobic core at a determined pH value. The core becomes electrostatically charged as the pH is changed. Such micelles can be made from either biodegradable or non-biodegradable polymers. Loaded drugs can be physically retained in the micelles when the pH of the surrounding medium favors interactions with the core. Upon a change in pH, modification in the ionization state of the core will decrease the interactions between the drug and the inner core and facilitate the release of the micellar contents.
