Self-assembly and pH-Responsive Properties of Poly(L-glutamic acid-r-L-leucine) and Poly(L-glutamic acid-r-L-leucine)-b-Polysarcosine
Polypeptides and polypeptoids were widely used as biomedical materials because of their good biocompatibility. In this work we reported a series of pH-responsive copolypeptides and polypeptide-polypeptoid block copolymers
i.e.
random copolymers of L-glutamic acid (Glu) with L-leucine (Leu) [poly(Glu-
r
-Leu)s]
as well as their block copolymers with polysarcosine (polySar). Well-defined poly(Glu-
r
-Leu)s with predictable compositions and molecular weights were synthesized by ring opening polymerization of corresponding
N
-carboxyanhydride monomers. We investigated the relationship between hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity transition and copolymer composition. With increasing Leu fraction
both the pH value of cloud point and the micellar size increased. Poly(Glu-
r
-Leu) with 60% Leu exhibited a cloud point at the pH of 5.0 to 6.0 the same as that in endosome and lysosome. Poly(Glu-
r
-Leu)-
b
-polySars assembled in phosphate buffer and performed pH-responsive morphology change from orbicular micelles at high pH to worm-like micelles at low pH. They were potential pH-responsive carriers for drug and gene delivery to enhance cargo release in cellules.
