Synthesis and Characterization of Star-Shaped Block Copolymer sPCL-b-PEG-GA

Compared to linear polymers with the same molecular weight, star-shaped polymers have the superiority of drug loading and delivery. The glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) from licorice is remarkably characteristic of liver distribution and liver cells targetability. In this paper, four-armed star-shaped polyc...
