Carbohydrate-based compositions and methods for targeted drug delivery

Abstract

Provided herein are compositions and methods for intracellular delivery. The compositions are polymer compositions in which the polymer serves as a carrier for therapeutic and/or diagnostic agents. The polymer compositions are effective in targeted delivery of therapeutic and/or diagnostic agents to a cell. The polymer compositions include a targeting moiety that includes carbohydrate groups that effectively target specific cell surface receptors. The polymer compositions also include an agent binding moiety that effectively associates the therapeutic and/or diagnostic agent to be delivered to the cell.
