Norborene-derived block polymers with selenol-containing components and norbornene-polyethylene (PNEG) components are proposed for the development of diselenide-crosslinked polymer nanoparticles (dC PNPs), in situ, which are responsive to the abnormal ROS levels in the tumoral region, as anticancer drug carriers. These nanoparticles can be designed to release anticancer drugs selectively in the tumor microenvironment, minimizing systemic toxicity and enhancing therapeutic efficacy. The diselenide bonds in the polymer degrade in response to high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are characteristic of cancerous tissues, thereby releasing the drug at the target site. In micelles, doxorubicin (dOX) is effectively encapsulated in the hydrophobic core and the shell is strengthened by diselenide crosslinks (dOX- dC PNPs). A dLS particle stability study demonstrated that structural integrity was maintained for three days under physiological conditions. However, the hydrophobic diselenide bond successfully fragmented into hydrophilic selenic acidderivatives under ROS conditions, leading to the release of the payload from the drug-containing matrix. Validation of the drug release showed that 52% of the payload was released at a H2O2 concentration of 10 µM, ensuring the reactive matrix reaction;s optimal accuracy. A toxicity study on a normal cell line (L929) confirmed the polymer's biocompatibility, while the encapsulated model exhibited significant toxicity to a cancer cell line (Hela). In contrast to free dOX, dOX-loaded polymer nanoparticles (PNPs) displayed a lower toxicity threshold, attributed to their capacity for gradual drug release over time. Furthermore, a comparison of cellular uptake reveals that while free dOX provides immediate drug availability, dOX loaded PNPs offer a more controlled and sustained release mechanism. In cancer therapy, this characteristic enhances therapeutic efficacy while minimizing side effects associated with high concentrati
