Application
PEG-SS-PLGA is a redox responsive, biocompatible, amphiphilic block copolymer composed of a hydrophilic PEG block and a hydrophobic poly(lactide-alternative-glycolide) (PLGA) block, with a reducible disulfide linkage between blocks. This polymer can be fabricated into Glutathione (GSH) responsive nanoparticles which can be used as an intracellular drug delivery system.
Different from common Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) polymer, the lactic and glycolic units in Poly(lactide-alt-glycolide) block alternate in sequence in the polymer chain, and the molar ratio of lactic to glycolic units in the polymer is exactly 1:1.
Poly(lactide-alt-glycolide) exhibits excellent solubility in common organic solvents, such as acetonitrile, acetone, dioxane, DCM, and THF, providing great convenience for drug delivery researches and applications.

In the treatment of lung cancer, there is an urgent need of innovative medicines to optimize pharmacological responses of conventional chemotherapeutics while attenuating side effects. Here, we have exploited some relatively unexplored subtle differences in reduction potential, associated with cancer
