  • Patent number: 8802235
    Abstract: A multi-arm, star-shaped polymer composition can be configured for drug delivery and imaging applications in vivo. The star polymer architecture can be synthesized using living radical polymerization techniques, including reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer and macromolecular design via the interchange of xanthates with a broad range of reaction conditions and functional groups. The star-shaped polymeric carriers can be tailored for preferential delivery of chemotherapeutics into the tumor-draining lymphatics via subcutaneous, peritumoral or intratumoral injections. The carriers can be loaded with the chemotherapeutic agents from about 10% to about 25% w/w. In addition, the carriers can be loaded with imaging agents from about 5% to about 10% w/w. The molecular weights of the polymeric carriers can be about 40 kDa to about 130 kDa. The chemotherapeutics can be cisplatin, geldanamycin or nitric oxide-donating prodrugs. The imaging agent can be a near-infrared dye, such as IR820.

  • Publication number: 20120100218
    Abstract: A chemotherapeutic composition can be configured for subcutaneous administration for preferential intralymphatic accumulation while also providing a therapeutic systemic concentration that is not toxic. The composition can include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and a nanoconjugate configured for preferential intralymphatic accumulation after subcutaneous administration. The nanoconjugate can include a nanocarrier configured for preferential intralymphatic accumulation after subcutaneous or interstitial administration, and a plurality of chemotherapeutic agents coupled to the nanocarrier. The nanoconjugate can have a dimension of about 10 nm to about 5 nm. Also, the nanoconjugate can be loaded with the chemotherapeutic agents from about 10% to about 50% w/w. The nanocarrier can be a hyaluronan polymer of about 3 kDa to about 50 kDa. Alternatively, the nanocarrier can be a dendrimer.
