Supermolecule—Drug Conjugates Based on Acid-Degradable Polyrotaxanes for pH-Dependent Intracellular Release of Doxorubicin

Doxorubicin (DOX)-conjugated acid-degradable polyrotaxanes (PRXs) were designed as supramolecular drug carriers capable of releasing drugs in acidic cellular environments. Acid-degradable PRXs composed of α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) as a cyclic molecule, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a polymer axis, and...
