(%)
Empty cl-micelles 170 ± 20 0.12 −38 ± 8 n.a n.a
DACHPt/cl-micelles 154 ± 10 0.10 −30 ± 5 25 45

aValues determined at pH 7.0, values are mean ± standard deviation.

bPDI: polydispersity index.

cLC: loading capacity (percentage of drug by weight incorporated into drug loaded cl-micelles), R = 0.5.

dLE: loading efficiency (percentage of drug incorporated into cl-micelles for a given amount of drug added to the mixture), R = 0.5.
