Purpose. The objective was to evaluate amphiphilic scorpion-like macromolecules (AScMs) as drug carriers for hydrophobic drugs.Methods. Indomethacin (IMC) was incorporated into two AScM micelleS (M12P5 and M12P2) by the O/W emulsion technique. The influences of IMC:polymer feed ratio and molecular weight of the hydrophilic block of AScMs on the micelle size, IMC entrapment efficiency and release behavior were investigated. Furthermore, cytotoxicity of the AScMs was evaluated with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC).Results. The maximal IMC entrapment efficiency in M12P5 and M12P2 micelles (72.3 and 20.2%, respectively) was obtained at ratios of 0.1 to 1 for indomethacin:polymer. The sizes of IMC-loaded M12P5 and M12P2 polymeric micelles were
