PEGylated Doxorubicin Prodrug-Forming Reduction-Sensitive Micelles With High Drug Loading and Improved Anticancer Therapy

Significant efforts on the design and development of advanced drug delivery systems for targeted cancer chemotherapy continue to be a major challenge. Here, we reported a kind of reduction-responsive PEGylated doxorubicin (DOX) prodrug via the simple esterification and amidation reactions, which sel...
