Abstract: Methotrexate-succinyl-chitosan conjugate was synthesized and its structure was confirmed by UV, IR, 1HNMR and 13CNMR.The flow cytometry analysis shows that N-succinyl-chitosan demonstrated a high affinity for K562 leukemia cells.This conjugate was water-soluble in the range of pH1-14, and the dynamic dialysis study shows that the conjugate was stable.These results provided references for the study of targeting, sustained and controlled release delivery systems of antitumor drugs.

Key words: N-Succinyl-chitosan, Methotrexate, Targeting antitumor drug, Sustained and controlled release
