A novel self-assembled nanoparticle platform based on pectin-eight-arm polyethylene glycol-drug conjugates for co-delivery of anticancer drugs

Schematic illustration of the core-shell Pec-8PUH NPs encapsulate both the hydrophobic drug UA and HCPT for synergistic therapy, accumulation of the nanoparticles at the tumor site through passive targeting, and specific binding to the overexpressed receptors on the tumor cells.275
