Product Description: m-PEG-OH (MW 20000) can be used as a macroinitiator to participate in the synthesis of amphiphilic block copolymers. Nanoscale micelles can be prepared by using amphiphilic block copolymers to deliver active drugs. Paclitaxel (HY-B0015), a hydrophobic anticancer agent encapsulated in micelles, has stronger activity in killing cancer cells than free Paclitaxel. And it preferentially accumulates in tumor tissue with only limited distribution in healthy organs.
Applications: Cancer-programmed cell death
