In this study, a long-circulating and pH responsive mixed micellar system was assembled with a degradable graft copolymer, poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide dilactate)-co-(N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide-co-histidine)-graft-poly(d,l-lactide), and a diblock copolymer, methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(d,l-lactide) to load with the anticancer agent doxorubicin. The in vitro results indicate that the micellar system display high biosafety and intracellular drug-releasing behavior in cancer cells. Furthermore, the in vivo results show that the high stability of the mixed micelles leads to a high tumor accumulation and hence an excellent inhibition of tumor growth. This mixed micellar system, comprising degradable diblock and graft copolymers enables one to increase cancer cells’ sensitivity toward doxorubicin (Dox) and is feasible for further clinical use in cancer therapy. In this study, a graft copolymer, poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide dilactate)-co-(N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide-co-histidine)-graft-poly(d,l-lactide), and a diblock copolymer, methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(d,l-lactide), were assembled into a mixed micellar system to encapsulate the anticancer drug doxorubicin (Dox). This mixed micellar system possesses the hydrophobic lactide segment of both copolymers, which reinforces its stability in physiological milieus; the histidine molecules appended on the graft copolymer provide the desired pH-responsive behavior to release Dox during internalization in cancer cells. The results demonstrate that the two copolymers were successfully prepared, and their ratios in the mixed micelles were optimized on the basis of the results of the stability tests. Under acidic conditions, the mixed micelles swell and are able to release their payloads. Therefore, the in vitro results indicate that the Dox in the mixed micelles is released effectively in response to the environmental pH of the mimetic internalization process, increasing cancer cells’ sensitivity toward Dox. The mixed micelles display low cytotoxicity due to the degradability of the polymers. The in vivo images show that the high stability of the mixed micelles ensures a high tumor accumulation. This selective tumor accumulation results in an excellent inhibition of in vivo tumor growth and a high rate of apoptosis in cancerous tissues, with low toxicity. This highly stable, mixed micellar system with a pH-dependent drug release, which enables the precise delivery of drugs to the tumor lesions, is feasible to employ clinically in cancer therapy.
