Summary: | A pharmaceutical composition containing a drug encapsulated in a polymer micelle composition containing a first block copolymer having affinity with HDL and a second block copolymer having affinity with a lipoprotein excluding HDL, each block copolymer having a hydrophobic polymer chain segment and a hydrophilic polymer chain segment such that a plurality of block copolymers arrange radially with the hydrophobic segments directed inward and the hydrophilic segments directed outward. In the composition, a detachment of the first block copolymer is induced by HDL adhesion which forms a gap and promotes the release of a drug encapsulated, while the second block copolymer excluding an affinity with HDL controls a release speed of the drug encapsulated. |
