Here we present self-assembled polymeric micelles as potential delivery systems for therapeutic agents with highly tunable properties. The major goal of this study is to design breast and prostate cancer specific targeting peptide modified PEtOx-co-PEI-b-PCL block copolymer based micelles as a targetable carrier system in cancer treatment. For this, a series of micelles based on poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-co-polyethyleneimine-block-poly(epsilon-caprolactone) [P(EtOx-co-EI)-b-PCL] copolymers with two different proportions of PEI (30% and 60% hydrolysis degrees of PEtOx) were successfully prepared. The block copolymers were synthesized using a combination of living cationic ring-opening polymerization and a copper(i)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction. Then, peptide 18 and peptide 563 were conjugated to P(EtOx-co-EI)-b-PCL through a thiol-ene click-type reaction to obtain the desired tumor-targeting. The structural properties of the copolymers were confirmed by H-1 NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis spectrometry and GPC. Peptide and non-peptide-conjugated micelles with particle sizes between 82 +/- 0.6 and 170 +/- 10.7 nm were obtained by self-assembly with two different chain lengths of PEI blocks. The micelles containing the 60% PEI block showed increased zeta potential values. The cytotoxicity of the copolymers was evaluated under in vitro conditions. Overall, our results indicate that the micelles prepared with peptide-conjugated block copolymers can be used as potential nanocarriers for targeted therapeutic delivery systems.

Contactless Pulsed and Continuous Microdroplet Release Using Photothermal Liquid Crystals
Beyazkılıç Ayas, Pınar; Akcimen, Samet; Elbuken, Caglar; Ortac, Buelend; Cai, Shengqiang; Büküşoğlu, Emre (2022-08-01)
Targeted, on-demand delivery has been of interest using materials responsive to environmental stimuli. A delivery technique based on precise release of aqueous microdroplets from a liquid crystal (LC) medium with contactless stimulation is presented. A nematic LC is doped with a photothermal dye that produces heat under near IR light exposure. The heat is used to overcome the elastic strains in the LC phase, promoting the release of initially entrapped water droplets to the neighboring aqueous solution. Des...
Synergistic effects of low-/medium-vacuum carbonization on physico-chemical properties and stability characteristics of biochars
Ullah, Habib; Abbas, Qumber; Ali, Muhammad Ubaid; Amina, Amina; Cheema, Ayesha Imtiyaz; Yousaf, Balal; Rinklebe, Joerg (2019-10-01)
Vacuum carbonization is considered to be an effective and promising thermochemical-tool for resource and energy recovery by collecting and reusing pyrolysis products and volatiles. In this study, thermochemical conversion of orange peel to biochar under low-and medium-vacuum pyrolysis conditions were investigated for product distribution and stability characteristics of biochar. The pyrolysis experiments were executed under three different conditions i.e., N-2 atmosphere (without vacuum), low-vacuum (1013.2...
Polysaccharide blended whey protein isolate-(WPI) hydrogels: A physicochemical and controlled release study
Özel, Barış; Aydin, Ozlem; Öztop, Halil Mecit (2017-10-01)
Design and characterization of composite whey protein isolate (WPI) hydrogels are gaining interest due to their utilization as controlled delivery matrices for bioactive agents. In this study, black carrot extract (BC) loaded composite WPI hydrogels, containing xanthan (XN), pectin (PC) and gum tragacanth (GT) were prepared by conventional water bath (CV) and infrared (IR) assisted microwave heating (MW). Release and swelling experiments were conducted at pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution for 24 h. Highest s...
Novel methods in modulation and detection of terahertz waves for imaging applications
Takan, Taylan; Altan, Hakan; Department of Physics (2018)
Terahertz radiation, due to its unique properties offers a plethora of possibilities of applications in various domains including security & defense, communications, material characterization, product inspection and medical imaging. In all these fields, cost-effective, high-resolution, and high-speed terahertz imaging is a greatly desired technology. However due the inherent challenges associated with terahertz detection, building a terahertz imaging system that satisfies all these requirements necessitates...
Nanoparticles Based on Plasma Proteins for Drug Delivery Applications
Tezcaner, Ayşen; Keskin, Dilek (2016-01-01)
Background: Nanoparticulate delivery systems receive a lot of attention in pharmaceutical research and market due to their in vivo stability, ability to protect entrapped drug, and ease of cellular penetration. The hemo-compatibility and the clearance half-life are important parameters of the nanodelivery systems that will be administered through intravenous route. Natural components, like blood plasma proteins are ideal sources of biomaterial for such systems with their long in vivo half-lives. Methods: Th...
