There are provided amphiphilic biodegradable copolymers comprising a hydrophilic backbone with pendant aliphatic groups as the hydrophobic component. The polymers form nanoscale molecular aggregates in aqueous environments, which have hydrophobic interiors that are capable of solubilizing insoluble organic compounds such as drugs, vitamins, dyes, and imaging agents. The polymers optionally feature reactive functional groups that provide attachment points for antibodies, ligands, and other targeting moieties useful for the targeted delivery of drugs and imaging agents.
提供的两性可降解共聚物包括具有羟基亲水骨架和作为疏水组分的脂肪族侧链的共聚物。这些聚合物在水性环境中形成纳米级分子聚集体,具有疏水内部,能够溶解不溶于水的有机化合物,如药物、维生素、染料和成像剂。这些聚合物可选择性地具有反应性功能基团,提供与抗体、配体和其他靶向基团的结合点,有助于药物和成像剂的靶向传递。
