Self-assembled dextran sulphate nanoparticles for targeting rheumatoid arthritis

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Nov 14;49(88):10349-51. doi: 10.1039/c3cc44260h.

Abstract

The amphiphilic block copolymer, composed of hydrophilic dextran sulfate as the targeting ligand and hydrophobic polycaprolactone as the hydrophobic segment, was prepared via click chemistry to develop self-assembled nanoparticles for targeting rheumatoid arthritis.
