Improving aqueous solubility and antitumor effects by nanosized gambogic acid-mPEG2000 micelles
The clinical application of gambogic acid, a natural component with promising antitumor activity, is limited due to its extremely poor aqueous solubility, short half-life in blood, and severe systemic toxicity. To solve these problems, an amphiphilic polymer-drug conjugate was prepared by attachment...
