Amphiphilic bovine serum albumin‐poly(methyl methacrylate) conjugate forms nanoparticles with the uniform size of ∼100 nm by self‐assembling. Loaded with the hydrophobic anti‐tumor drug camptothecin, the nanoparticle efficiently delivers drugs into cancer cells, and thus inhibits ∼79% of tumor growth in animals compared with free drug.
