This study introduces a novel approach by synthesizing a fluorescein isothiocyanate FITC-labelled PCL-PEG-PCL triblock copolymer, with the aim to develop a drug delivery system for natural bioactive. As a proof of concept, the FITC-labelled PCL-PEG-PCL copolymer is applied for the preparation of micelles encapsulating into the core capsaicin (CP), a pungent alkaloid found in chili peppers with diverse therapeutic applications.

Abstract

This study introduces a novel approach by synthesizing a fluorescein isothiocyanate FITC-labelled PCL-PEG-PCL triblock copolymer, with the aim to develop a drug delivery system for natural bioactive. As a proof of concept, the FITC-labelled PCL-PEG-PCL copolymer is applied for the preparation of micelles encapsulating into the core capsaicin (CP), a pungent alkaloid found in chili peppers with diverse therapeutic applications.
