Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a macromolecular chemotherapeutic. A non-limiting example of the macromolecular chemotherapeutic includes a block copolymer. The block copolymer can include a water-soluble block, a cationic block, and a linker, wherein the linker is connected to the water-soluble bock and the charged block.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A macromolecular chemotherapeutic, comprising: a block copolymer comprising: a water-soluble block comprising polyethylene oxide, a cationic block comprising subunits of formula (C-4): wherein and R5 is: a linker comprising an acetal, wherein the linker is connected to the water-soluble bock and the charged block. 2. The macromolecular chemotherapeutic of claim 1 , wherein the linker is a cleavable linker. 3. The macromolecular chemotherapeutic of claim 2 , wherein the polyethylene oxide has an average molecular weight of 2000 to 20,000 daltons. 4. The macromolecular chemotherapeutic of claim 1 , wherein the block copolymer is self-immolative at a pH less than or equal to 6.5. 5. A pharmaceutical composition, comprising: a block copolymer comprising: a water-soluble block comprising polyethylene oxide, a cationic block comprising subunits of formula (C-4): wherein and R5 is: a linker comprising an acetal, wherein the linker is connected to the water-soluble bock and the charged block; and a solvent. 6. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 5 further comprising a plurality of micelles. 7. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 6 , wherein the micelles are mixed micelles. 8. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 6 , wherein the micelles have an average diameter of 20 to 200 nanometers. 9. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 5 , wherein the linker is a cleavable linker. 10. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 5 , wherein the polyethylene oxide has an average molecular weight of 2000 to 20,000 daltons.
