Abstract

Nanoparticulates, composed of hydrotropic polymers, dentrimers, or polymer complexes, were developed to deliver poorly water-soluble drugs. Nanoparticulate polymer systems were also developed for encapsulation of proteins. Hydrotropic amphiphilic block copolymers self-associated to form nanosized micelles in an aqueous solution. The hydrotropic micelles containing hydrotroperich cores exhibited not only high loading capacity of paclitaxel but also enhanced physical stability in aqueous media. Polyglycerol dendrimers increased the water solubility of paclitaxel by several orders of magnitude due to the presence of a high local density of ethylene glycol units having the hydrotropic property. The hydrogel nanoparticles were also prepared by simple mixing of two polymer solutions.
