Background: High-molecular-weight (MW) polymers (>50,000 Da) can be conjugated to chemotherapy drugs in order to improve their tumor accumulation, while low MW polymers <= 10,000 Da are often overlooked due to faster plasma clearance. Small polymers, however, may facilitate deeper tumor penetration. Materials & methods: Here, we investigate the anticancer efficacy of 10 kDa hyaluronic acid or poly(vinyl alcohol) conjugated to synergistic combinations of camptothecin and doxorubicin, with emphasis on chemical linker impacts. Results: Our results emphasize drug hydrolyzability for synergy preservation, and also demonstrate superior cancer cell inhibition with low MW polymer-drug conjugates. Conclusion: This study shows the high therapeutic potential of low MW polymer-drug conjugates for polychemotherapy delivery, and provides further insight into the development of polymer-drug therapeutics.
