The aim of this study was to construct novel targeting polymeric micelles. Folate-Poly (ethylenimine)-Pluronic copolymers were synthesized. A paclitaxel (PTX)-loaded mixed micelles consisting of Folate-Poly (ethylenimine)-Pluronic and Pluronic L121 copolymers have been developed. The mixed micelles showed nano-sized spherical morphology.

Polyplex particles formed with plasmid DNA (pDNA) and Pluronic P85-block-poly{N-[N-(2-aminoethyl)-2-aminoethyl]aspartamide} (P85-b-P[Asp(DET)]) demonstrated highly effective transfection ability compared to PEG-based block cationomer, PEG-b-P[Asp(DET)]. Ternary polyplexes comprising PEG-b-P[Asp(DET)], poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(propylene oxide)-b-poly(ethylene oxide)-b-P[Asp(DET)] (P(EPE)-b-P[Asp(DET)]) used as an analog of P85-b-P[Asp(DET)], and pDNA were
