Stability of
CPT
free drug and
CPT
-loaded polymeric micelles forming from poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (benzyl aspartate-69) block copolymer in the presence of serum and purified serum albumins were investigated by reverse-phase HPLC and GPC. The hydrolysis of
CPT
and
CPT
-loaded micelles follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. The observed hydrolysis rate constants for
CPT
and
CPT
-loaded micelles were 7.4x10(-3)min(-1) and 0.7x10(-3)h(-1), corresponding to an increase in half-life of
CPT
from 94 min to 990 h, respectively. The half-lives of
CPT
lactone hydrolysis of
CPT
-loaded micelles in the presence of BSA were significantly longer than the control whereas in the presence of HSA and serum was shorter than the control, and the similar results were obtained from GPC analyzed for micelles stability. This result suggested that the stability of
CPT
-loaded micelles was significantly decreased only in the presence of human albumin and serum. These were corresponded to the results of
CPT
free drug observed in the presence of albumins or serum. BSA significantly retarded the
CPT
lactone ring opening as compared with the control. On the other hand, HSA and serum showed rapid
CPT
lactone ring opening. This was probably due to preferential HSA binding to the carboxylate form resulting in a change in the lactone-carboxylate equilibrium, whereas, BSA did not bind to the lactone form, but might promote the self-aggregation of
CPT
and binding to the hydrophobic inner core of the micelles, resulting in enhanced stability of
CPT
-loaded micelles.
MSA
did not affect the stability of micelles.
