In this review we summarize several synthetic approaches to the advanced synthesis of star-like polymer-based drug carriers. Moreover, their application as nanomedicines for therapy or the diagnosis of neoplastic diseases and their biodistribution are reviewed in detail. From a broad spectrum of star-like systems, we focus only on fully water-soluble systems, mainly based on poly(ethylene glycol) or N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide polymer and copolymer arms and polyamidoamine dendrimers serving as the core of the star-like systems.

The synthesis of a model water-soluble drug carrier based on poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) block copolymers is described. In the copolymers, two blocks of PEG are linked by a biodegradable oligopeptide or amino acid linkage containing the glutamic acid residue. 4-Nitroaniline as a drug model is attached to the γ-carboxyl group of glutamic acid of the polymer carrier via an enzymatically degradable oligopeptide spacer. The oligopeptides used were potential substrates for chymotrypsin. The relationship between the structure of oligopeptides linking two PEG blocks and the rate of chymotrypsin-catalyzed polymer chain degradation as well as the relationship between the structure of the spacer and kinetics of drug model release from the carrier after incubation in chymotrypsin solution is discussed in detail. The results showed that by modifying the structure of oligopeptides in the polymer construct, changes in the rates of both polymer degradation and the drug model release can be achieved in a very broad range.
