Abstract

This work reports, for the encapsulation of l-asparaginase, an anticancer enzyme into hybrid PMPC25–PDPA70/PEO16–PBO22 asymmetric polymersomes previously developed by our group, with loading capacities with over 800 molecules per vesicle. Enzyme-loaded polymersomes show permeability and capacity to hydrolyze l-asparagine, which is essential to cancer cells. The nanoreactors proposed in this work can be potentially used in further studies to develop novel therapeutic alternatives based on l-asparaginase.
