Synthesis and In Vitro Evaluation of Polyethylene Glycol-Paclitaxel Conjugates for Lung Cancer Therapy
2016
Purpose
Pulmonary drug delivery is considered an attractive route of drug administration for lung cancer chemotherapy. However, fast clearance mechanisms result in short residence time of small molecule drugs in the lung. Therefore, achieving a sustained presence of chemotherapeutics in the lung is very challenging. In this study, we synthesized two different polyethylene glycol-paclitaxel ester conjugates with molecular weights of 6 and 20 kDa in order to achieve sustained release of paclitaxel in the lung.
