A molecular brush based on conjugated polyelectrolyte (CPE) grafted with dense poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains was successfully complexed with an anticancer agent, cisplatin, to form cisplatin-loaded nanoparticles (CPE-PEG-Pt), say scientists from Singapore and China.
The nanoparticles have high far-red/near-infrared fluorescence and are able to release the drug in a continuous and slow manner.
