Amphiphilic Block Copolymers Bearing Hydrophobic γ-Tocopherol Groups with Labile Acetal Bond

Amphiphilic Block Copolymers Bearing Hydrophobic γ-Tocopherol Groups with Labile Acetal Bond

High concentrations of γ-tocopherol (γTCP) tend to show antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects. In this study, we prepared polymer micelles under acidic conditions with a controlled release of γTCP due to the decomposition of pendant acetal bonds. First, a...
