Abstract

A series of cancer-targetable copolymers containing rhodamine and tyrosine segments were synthesized and further labeled with isotope 125I. Copolymers with different molecular weights (PRTH-1, PRTH-2 and PRTH-3) formed aggregates in water with average diameters of 66nm, 191nm and 137nm, respectively. The cancer cell targeting properties of the copolymers were investigated by comparing BEL-7402 liver cancer cells and L-02 human ...
