The physicochemical characteristics and cytotoxicity of cholesterol end-capped poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)s have been thoroughly investigated.Results: Phase transition temperature dependence on the molecular weight and hydrophilic/hydrophobic ratio in the polymers were observed in water. Biological test results showed that the obtained materials, both in disordered and micellar form, are non-hemolytic, highly compatible with fibroblasts, and toxic to glioblastoma cells. It was found that the polymer termini dictates the mode of action of the system.Conclusion: The cholesteryl moiety acts as a cell-penetrating agent, which enables disruption of the plasma membrane and in effect leads to the restriction of the tumor growth. Cholesterol end-capped PNIPAAm showing in vitro anticancer efficacy can be developed not only as drug carriers but also as components of combined/synergistic therapy.Keywords: cholesterol-end capped poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), cell-penetrating molecules, thermoresponsive polymer micelles, drug carriersMisiak PNiemirowicz-Laskowska KMarkiewicz KHMisztalewska-Turkowicz IWielgat PKurowska ISiemiaszko GDestarac MCar HWilczewska AZDove Medical Pressarticlecholesterol-end capped poly(n-isopropylacrylamide)cell-penetrating moleculesthermoresponsive polymer micellesdrug carriersMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 15, Pp 7263-7278 (2020)
