  Abstract: Thermo-responsive polymeric systems have emerged as promising platforms for targeted intratumoral drug delivery in cancer therapy. This study aimed to develop and evaluate poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM)-based polymeric nanoparticles as intelligent carriers for temperature-responsive delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) to solid tumors. Nanoparticles were synthesized via free radical polymerization using N-isopropylacrylamide as a thermoresponsive monomer and N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide as a crosslinker, forming a stable network with a tunable lower critical solution temperature (LCST).The optimized …
