Controlled drug release‐ and targeted drug delivery systems based on polymers are reviewed. The design of polymer‐drug systems, for example the one shown in the Figure, which contains a solubilizer, the drug linked to the backbone through a spacer, and a targeting moiety for guiding the drug to the desired site, and the factors which influence their effectiveness are discussed.
