Dox was attached to the polymer carrier by a hydrazone bond enabling pH-controlled drug release. While the polymer–drug conjugates were stable in a buffer at pH 7.4 (mimicking bloodstream environment), Dox was released in a buffer under mild acidic conditions modeling the tumor microenvironment or cells. The amphiphilic polymer carriers differed in the structure of hydrophobic cholesterol derivative moieties bound to the HPMA copolymers via a hydrolyzable hydrazone bond, exhibiting different rates of micellar structure disintegration at various pH values. Considerable dependence of the studied polymer–drug conjugate biodistribution on the stability of the micellar structure was observed in neutral, bloodstream-mimicking, environment, showing that a faster rate of the micelle disintegration in pH 7.4 increased the conjugate blood clearance, decreased tumor accumulation, and significantly reduced the tumor:blood and tumor:muscle ratios. Similarly, the final therapeutic outcome was strongly affected by the stability of the micellar structure because the most stable micellar conjugate showed an almost similar therapeutic outcome as the water-soluble, nondegradable, high-molecular-weight starlike HPMA copolymer–Dox conjugate, which was highly efficient in the treatment of solid tumors in mice. Based on the results, we conclude that the bloodstream stability of micellar polymer–anticancer drug conjugates, in addition to their low side toxicity, is a crucial parameter for their efficient solid tumor accumulation and high in vivo antitumor activity.
