Title	Anti-tumor Activity of Paclitaxel Prodrug Conjugated with Polyethylene Glycol

Keywords	Paclitaxel, 7-Polyethylene glycol paclitaxel carbonate, Anti-tumor activity, Toxicity, Watersolubility
Abstract	The purpose of this study was to develop a method for increasing the solubility of paclitaxel in water to reduce its toxicity and make the drug more feasible for chemotherapy. A series of highly water soluble paclitaxel polyethylene glycol (PEG) esters were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-tumor activity and toxicity. The solubility of 7-polyethylene glycol paclitaxel carbonate 5 was 840 mg/mL and the acute toxicity (LD₅₀) was 286 mg/kg. Because of its reduced toxicity, compound 5 showed a dramatic reduction of tumor volume without any loss of animals in long-term treatment (daily consecutive injections for 15 days).
