Methods for forming, modifying, and drug loading of a copolymer are provided, along with the resulting products. The method can include polymerizing 2-(pyridin-2-yldisulfanyl)ethyl acrylate with poly(ethylene glycol)methacrylate via free radical polymerization to form the copolymer. The molar ratio of 2-(pyridin-2-yldisulfanyl)ethyl acrylate to poly(ethylene glycol)methacrylate is about 100:1 to about 1:100. After polymerizing, the copolymer can be reacted with a thiol monomer that contains a carbon-bonded sulfhydryl to modify end groups on a first portion of the 2-(pyridin-2-yldisulfanyl)ethyl acrylate repeating units. Thereafter, the copolymer can be crosslinked, and a drug can then be loaded into the crosslinked copolymer.

Polymer/copper combinations that can selectively target and kill cancer cells are described. Materials can include the reaction product of a biocompatible hydrophilic polymer and pyridine-2-thiol containing monomer. The copolymer reaction product can include pyridine-2-thiol side groups pendant to the backbone via a disulfide linkage. The hydrophilic component can form the polymer backbone and/or can form hydrophilic pendant groups off of the backbone. Copper ions can be associated with the copolymer.

Described is a method to fabricate a gold/mesoporous silica hybrid nanoparticle. According to the process, a gold nanoparticle can be conjugated onto the surface of a mesoporous silica nanoparticle to yield a photothermal stable theranostic platform, gold/mesoporous silica hybrid nanoparticle. The nanoparticles can be useful for disease detection, treatment, and monitoring.

To mimic the clinic dosing pattern, initially administering high loading dose and then low maintenance dose, we designed a novel poly(2-(pyridin-2-yldisulfanyl)ethyl acrylate) (PDS) based nanoparticle delivery system. Side chain functional PDS was synthesized by free radical polymerization. Polyethylene glycol and cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe-Cys) (cRGD) peptide was conjugated to PDS through thiol disulfide exchange reaction to achieve RPDSG polymer. RPDSG/DOX, RPDSG nanoparticle loaded with doxorubicin, was fabricated by cosolvent dialysis method. The size of the nanoparticles was 50.13 +/- 0.5 nm in PBS. The RPDSG/DOX nanoparticle is stable in physiological condition while quickly releasing doxorubicin with the trigger of acidic pH and redox potential. Furthermore, it shows a two-phase release kinetics, providing both loading dose and maintenance dose for cancer therapy. The conjugation of RGD peptide enhanced the cellular uptake and nuclear localization of the RPDSG/DOX nanoparticles. RPDSG/DOX exhibits IC50 close to that of free doxorubicin for HCT-116 colon cancer cells. Due to the synergetic effect of RGD targeting effect and its two-phase release kinetics, RPDSG/DOX nanoparticles display significantly higher anticancer efficacy than that of free DOX at concentrations higher than 5 mu M. These results suggest that RPDSG/DOX could be a promising nanotherapeutic for tumor-targeted chemotherapy.
