摘要：

New fluorescent amphiphilic copolymers polyacrylamide-b-poly(p-methacrylamido)acetophenone thiosemicarbazone (PAM-b-PMATC) were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method. The structures of polymers were confirmed by H-1 NMR and gel permeation chromatography-multi-angle laser light scatting (GPC-MALLS). PAM-b-PMATC showed a broad emission peak about 388 nm excited at 318 nm in aqueous solution. The self-assembly behavior of PAM-b-PMATC in tile binary mixture formamide/water was observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM). It indicated that PAM-b-PMATC-I and -Il with the same PAM block self-assembled to vesicles and sunflower-like micelles. The water fraction in the mixture could control the size and thickness of vesicles. Vesicle size increased from 50 to 420 nm and vesicle thickness changed from 5 to 50 nm with water content ranging from 33 to 90 vol.%. In addition, the cytotoxicity in vitro of PAM-b-PMATC-I and its nanoparticles loaded with methotrexate (MTX) were evaluated by MTT assay. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
