Next, the polymer was manufactured into the nanoparticles, and the characteristics of nanoparticles were detected by dynamic light scattering, lower critical solution temperature, and transmission electron microscopy. After that, the cell and animal toxicity of nanoparticles were also investigated.Results: The results demonstrated that p(AAPBA-b-NVCL) was successfully synthesized, and can be easily self-assembled to form nanoparticles. The new nanoparticles included monodisperse submicron particles, with the size of the nanoparticle ranged between 150 and 300nm and are glucose- and temperature-sensitive. Meanwhile, insulin can be easily loaded by p(AAPBA-b-NVCL) nanoparticles and an effective sustained release of insulin was observed when the nanoparticles were placed in physiological saline. Besides, MTT assay revealed that cell viability was more than 80%, and mice demonstrated no negative impact on blood biochemistry and heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney after intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg/kg/d of nanoparticles. This suggested that the nanoparticles were low-toxic to both cells and animals. Moreover, they could lower the blood sugar level within 72h.Conclusion: Our research suggested that these p(AAPBA-b-NVCL) nanoparticles might have the potential to be applied in a delivery system for insulin or other hypoglycemic proteins.Keywords: N-vinylcaprolactam, NVCL, 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid, AAPBA, nanoparticles, glucose-sensitive, temperature-sensitive |
