This invention relates to macromolecular prodrugs having antitumor activity when activated by GSH, and methods for synthesizing and administering these to patients. More particularly, this invention relates to, inter alia, the synthesis and use of polyacrylamide carriers to target anticancer prodrugs to tumors, and to release active antitumor agents selectively in tumor cells. These active antitumor agents target the active site of the methylglyoxal-detoxifying enzyme glyoxalase I to thereby cause tumor regression.
