Natural polysaccharides and their derivatives targeting the tumor microenvironment: A review

This article reviews recent strategies for targeting the tumor microenvironment with polysaccharides and briefly discusses the structure-activity relationships of anti-tumor polysaccharides. It also summarises the main chemical modification methods of polysaccharides and discusses the impact of chemical modifications on the anti-tumor activity of polysaccharides. The review aims to lay a theoretical foundation for the development of anti-tumor polysaccharides and their derivatives.PMID:38677708 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131789
