Based on self-assembly, CA-TMC can form micelles with sizes ranging from 136 nm to 212 nm. The critical aggregation concentration increased from 0.6 mg · L-1 to 88 mg · L-1 with decrease in the degree of CA substitution. Osthole (OST) could be easily encapsulated into the CA-TMC micelles. The highest entrapment efficiency and drug loading of OST-loaded CA-TMC micelles(OST/CA-TMC) were 79.1% and 19.1%, respectively. The antitumor efficacy results show that OST/CA-TMC micelles have significant antitumor activity on Hela and MCF-7 cells, with a 50% of cell growth inhibition (IC50) of 35.8 and 46.7 µg · mL-1, respectively. Cell apoptosis was the main effect on cell death of Hela and MCF-7 cells after OST administration. The blank micelles did not affect apoptosis or cell death of Hela and MCF-7 cells. The fluorescence imaging results indicated that OST/CA-TMC micelles could be easily uptaken by Hela and MCF-7 cells and could localize in the cell nuclei. These findings suggest that CA-TMC micelles are promising carriers for OST delivery in cancer therapy.
