A medicinal preparation is desired which has no harmful side effects such as hypersensitive reaction, heightens the water solubility of a sparingly water-soluble anticancer agent, maintains a high drug concentration in the blood, accumulates a drug in a tumor tissue at a high concentration, heightens the pharmacological effect of the sparingly water-soluble anticancer agent, and diminishes the side effects of the anticancer agent. Provided are: a novel block copolymer which can be a drug carrier having no harmful side effects such as hypersensitive reaction; a micelle preparation in which micelles are formed and which contains a sparingly water-soluble anticancer agent, especially paclitaxel, incorporated in the micelles in an amount necessary for a disease treatment without bonding it to the block copolymer and which can heighten the solubility of the drug in water; and an anticancer agent which comprises the micelle preparation as a medical ingredient, maintains a high concentration in the blood, has more potent drug activity, and is reduced in toxicity. |
