Design and optimisation of dendrimer-conjugated Bcl-2/xL inhibitor, AZD0466, with improved therapeutic index for cancer therapy

Claire Patterson et al. present the design and development of AZD0466, a drug-dendrimer conjugate, and use preclinical and mathematical models to determine the optimal release rate of the drug from the dendrimer carrier for maximal therapeutic index in terms of anti-tumour efficacy and cardiovascula...
