The present invention relates to polymer-modified quinone-containing and carbonyl-containing therapeutic agents, including polymer-modified β-lapachone compounds, and methods of treating cancer by administering the polymer-modified therapeutic agents to a subject. Polymer-modification of therapeutic agents, such as β-lapachone compounds, provides effective transport of polymer-modified therapeutic agents to tumor cells or tumor tissues by exploiting the EPR effect in tumor tissues.
本发明涉及聚合物修饰的喹酮含量和羰基含量的治疗剂,包括聚合物修饰的β-拉帕霉素化合物,并通过将聚合物修饰的治疗剂给予受试者治疗癌症的方法。聚合物修饰治疗剂,如β-拉帕霉素化合物,通过利用肿瘤组织中的EPR效应,提供了有效的聚合物修饰治疗剂的运输到肿瘤细胞或肿瘤组织的方法。
