Biocleavable micelle compositions for use as drug carriers

摘要

This invention discloses compositions and methods for preparing biocleavable or biodegradable micelle compositions for carrying and releasing drugs and other active agents for therapeutic or other medical uses. Methods are also disclosed for preparing biocleavable cyclodextrin micelle carriers that release drugs under controlled conditions.The invention also discloses biocleavable or biodegradable micelle compositions that are coupled to biorecognition molecules for targeting the delivery of drugs to their site of action.
