New stealth amphiphilic copolymers based on polysarcosine (PSar) rather than poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) have gained more attention for their use as excipients in nanomedicine. In this study, several polysarcosine-b-poly(γ-benzyl glutamate) (PSar-b-PGluOBn) block copolymers were synthesized by ring opening polymerization (ROP) of the respective N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs) and were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) and size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). Copolymers had different PGluOBn block configuration (racemic L/D, pure L or pure D), degrees of polymerization of PSar between 28 and 76 and PGluOBn between 9 and 93, molar masses (M_n) between 5.0 and 24.6 kg.mol⁻¹ and dispersities (Đ) lower than 1.4. Nanoparticles of PSar-b-PGluOBn loaded with paclitaxel (PTX), a hydrophobic anti-cancer drug, were obtained by nanoprecipitation. Their hydrodynamic diameter (D_h) ranged from 27 to 118 nm with polydispersity indexes (PDI) between 0.01 and 0.20, as determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Their morphology was more spherical for copolymers with a racemic L/D PGluOBn block configuration synthesized at 5 °C. PTX loading efficiency was between 63 and 92 % and loading contents between 7 and 15 %. Using PSar-b-PGluOBn copolymers as excipients, PTX apparent water-solubility was significantly improved by a factor up to 6600 to 660 µg.mL⁻¹.
