A novel drug delivery system (DDS) of taxol was developed by linking taxol to a water-soluble polymer——polyethylene glycol (PEG) through amino acid spacer. Solubility of the DDS and content of taxol in them were determined. Their antitumor activity were evaluated against two human tumor cell lines: MCF-7 and PG. It was found that the DDS were more soluble in water than taxol and had similar cytotoxicity compared with the latter.In this way
a new kind of DDS of taxol with improved water-solubility and potential antitumor activity was well established.
