Herein, we prepared novel reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsive core crosslinked (CCL/TK) polycarbonate micelles conveniently by click reaction between amphiphilic diblock copolymer poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(5-methyl-5-propargylxycar-bonyl-1,3-dioxane-2-one) (PEG-PMPC) with pendant alkynyl group and thioketal containing azide derivative bis (2-azidoethyl) 3, 3'- (propane-2, 2-diylbis (sulfanediyl)) dipropanoate (TK-N₃). The CCL/TK micelles were obtained with small size of 146.4 nm, showing excellent stability against dilution and high doxorubicin (DOX) loading. In vitro toxicity tests demonstrated that the obtained CCL/TK micelles have good biocompatibility and low toxicity with cell viability above 95%. Furthermore, DOX-loaded CCL/TK micelles showed significantly superior toxicity with IC₅₀ values for HeLa and MCF-7 cells about 3.74 μg/mL and 3.91 μg/mL, respectively. Confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) and flow cytometry showed excellent internalization efficiency and intracellular drug release of DOX-loaded CCL/TK micelles. The obtained ROS-responsive CCL/TK micelles showed great potential for anticancer drug delivery.
