STUDY OF AMPHIPHILIC PROPERTIES OF COPOLYESTERS WITH CHROMOPHORE GROUPS IN THE WATER-OCTANOL SYSTEM

In recent years, nanoscale forms, except targeted drug delivery to the pathological sites for therapy, can  be functionalized with drugs as well as fluorescent substances therefore their diagnostics and therapeutic potential is enormous. Such nanoscale forms usually are formed due to the self-assembly of biocompatible amphiphilic block copolymers in an aqueous medium. In this case lipophilic fragments of polymer macromolecules form nanocarrier core which can be loaded with molecules of lipophilic drugs.
