“…Many nano-sized drug delivery systems, such as natural and synthetic polymer nanoparticles, metal nanoparticles, and polymer-drug conjugates, have been investigated for delivery of anti-tumor drugs (Ekladious et al, 2018; Liu et al, 2018; Maeki et al, 2018). The nano-vehicles basing on phosphoethanolamine-polyethylene glycol polymers (PEG-PE) represent a promising nanoparticles delivery system owing to biocompatibility, prolonged circulation, and accumulation in tumors by the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect (Perche et al, 2012; Kohay et al, 2017). In the past decade, many efforts have been made to prepare liver-targeting nano-carriers, which were modified by sugars, antibodies, and other ligands (Singh et al, 2016; Zhu et al, 2016; Yan et al, 2017; Wu J. et al, 2018).…”
