Popis: Small molecule modified anticancer drug conjugates (SMMDCs) can self-assemble into nanoparticles (NPs) as therapeutic NP platforms for cancer treatment. Here we demonstrate that the XlogP and Hansen solubility parameters of paclitaxel (PTX) SMMDCs is essential for SMMDCs self-assembling into NPs. The amorphous state of PTX SMMDCs will also affect SMMDCs self-assembling into NPs. However, the antitumor activity of these PTX SMMDCs NPs decreased along with their XlogP values, indicating that a suitable XlogP value for designing the SMMDCs is important for self-assembling into NPs and for possessing antitumor activity. For higher level XlogP SMMDCs, a degradable linker should be considered in the design of SMMDCs to overcome the problem of lower antitumor activity. It is preferable that the hydrophilic groups in the SMMDCs should be present on the surface of self-assembling NPs.
