A micelle-forming polymeric drug was synthesized using adriamycin (an anti-cancer drug) and poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(aspartic acid) block copolymers. The micelle had a narrow and unimodal size distribution, and its diameter was observed to be ca. 50 nm, the range corresponding to viruses. This micelle-forming polymeric drug exhibited good water solubility and good stability against precipitation irrespective of the large quantity of incorporated hydrophobie adriamycin. In vivoanti-cancer activity of this polymeric drug against P-388 mouse leukemia was studied by changing the length of the poly(aspartic acid) chain of the block copolymer. The polymeric drug showed excellentin vivoanti-cancer activity, judged from the ratio of the survival period of the treated mice to that of the control (T/C), with lower toxicity than that of adriamycin. These results point to a promising figure of polymeric micelles as novel drug carriers.
