Abstract

Docetaxel is an effective anticancer drug. Due to its low water solubility and serious side effects brought about by solvent used, clinical application of docetaxel is restricted. Based on this problem, Establishing the carriers of docetaxel, an anticancer drug, by means of chemical synthesis has been attracting the attention of scientists. This article reviews the research progress of carriers of docetaxel in the past decade and discusses some problems in the current study, providing reference for the development and utilization of carriers of docetaxel.
