Synthesis of a reduction-sensitive Bletilla striata polysaccharide amphiphilic copolymer

A reduction-sensitive stearic acid modified-Bletilla striata polysaccharide amphiphilic copolymer is synthesized. The copolymer enabled to spontaneously form micelles which display faster docetaxel release rates under reduction condition and enhanced anticancer activity in vitro after incorporating docetaxel into micelles.
