Abstract
The chemical combination of pharmacologically active compounds with polymers is currently receiving considerable attention. Objectives are to improve the duration of activity, to obtain a more cell-specific uptake or to reduce the toxicity of the parent drug1,2,3 Macromolecular derivatives of a drug can be obtained either by converting the drug into a reactive derivative that can be polymerized or by binding the drug onto an existing natural or synthetic polymer.
