Notes:
A series of novel graft (comb) copolymers composed of a hydrophobic backbone and hydrophilic side chain grafts are described for the in vivo targeting of colloidal carriers. The new copolymers, when coated on nanometer size particles (nanospheres, nanocapsules), substantially reduce the capture of the particles by the reticuloendothelial system (RES) and show potential for targeting to the bone marrow.
