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
醌类和羰基类治疗剂,包括聚合物修饰的β-拉帕克酮化合物,以及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-拉帕克酮化合物,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到达肿瘤细胞或肿瘤组织的运输。
