New treatments for glaucoma are being developed using actin depolymerizers and rho kinase inhibitors to address this increased stiffness. However, these agents have off\u2010target effects and are not as potent as had been hoped. We have developed a micellar nanocarrier assembled from poly(ethylene glycol)\u2010<jats:italic>bl<\/jats:italic>\u2010poly(propylene sulfide) copolymers capable of encapsulating latrunculin A (Lat A) with the goal of modulating SC cell stiffness. Lat A\u2010loaded nanocarriers were similar in size and morphology to unloaded poly (ethylene glycol)\u2010<jats:italic>bl<\/jats:italic>\u2010poly(propylene sulfide) (PEG\u2010<jats:italic>bl<\/jats:italic>\u2010PPS) micelles, loaded Lat A at 62% encapsulation efficiency, and retained loaded Lat A for at least 22 days. The continued functional activity of Lat A following encapsulation within micelles was verified in murine macrophages, which are known to display decreased endocytosis in response to Lat A\u2010dependent cytoskeletal disruption. Endocytic inhibition remained unchanged when comparing equal concentrations of micelle\u2010loaded versus free form Lat A. Uptake of Lat A\u2010loaded micelles by human SC cells was verified <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic> with no sign of cytotoxicity, and modulation of SC cell stiffness was measured by atomic force microscopy. Lat A\u2010loaded micelles significantly decreased SC cell stiffness, which resulted in visible changes in cell morphology as observed by confocal microscopy. Our results demonstrate that PEG\u2010<jats:italic>bl\u2010<\/jats:italic>PPS micelles represent a tunable platform for the controlled intracellular delivery of latrunculin. These self\u2010assembled polymeric nanobiomaterials may support the rational design and engineering of delivery systems for the treatment of glaucoma. \u00a9 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
