Important Factors of PEG-grafted Chitosan as Drug Vehicles
PEG-g-chitosan nanoparticles are promising drug vehicles for anti-tumor drug
DNA and peptide
etc. PEG-grafted chitosan can improve the solubility of chitosan in aqueous solutions or organic solvents
have the ability to avoid reticuloendothelial system (RES) of liver and prolonged blood circulation time
in order to deliver more drugs to the targeting area. Now
PEG-grafted chitosan play an important roles in the field of biological medicines. This article reviewed recent key advancements of PEG-grafted chitosan nanoparticles and discussed the factors which would improve its drug therapeutic effect
including its tumor-targeting and controlled release ability
