Amphiphilic core cross-linked star polymers as water-soluble, biocompatible and biodegradable unimolecular carriers for hydrophobic drugs

Abstract

We report a series of amphiphilic, unimolecular, biocompatible, biodegradable and readily functionalisable PEG-PCL-based CCS polymers formed in a well-controlled manner and their application as a carrier of hydrophobic anthracycline drugs.
