Camptothecin, which represents a class of natural products with high anticancer activity, suffers low water solubility which hampers its clinic application. To address this issue, monodisperse polyethylene glycols were employed to modify this class of natural products, including Camptothecin, 10-Hydroxycamptothecin, and SN38. Through selective modification with a series of monodisperse polyethylene glycols, 31 Camptothecin derivatives, including 9 ethers and 22 carbonates, were prepared using a macrocyclic sulfate-based strategy with high efficacy. Monodisperse polyethylene glycols modification provided the Camptothecin derivatives with high purity and fine-tunable water solubility. Through the physicochemical and biological assays, a few novel prodrugs with good solubility, cytotoxicity, and valuable drug release profile were identified as promising anticancer drug candidates.

To great (monodisperse) lengths: An improved synthesis of purer ethylene glycol (EG) oligomers allows access to 16- and 32-mers pure enough for multiple incorporation, and also to the longest (48-mer) discrete EG oligomer yet reported. The high purity enables the first crystallizations and hence the first glimpses of secondary 310-helical PEG structures.
