Polycarbonate-Based Copolymer Micelles as Biodegradable Carriers of Anticancer Podophyllotoxin or Juniper Extracts.

Researchers discovered efficient production of Podophyllotoxin (PPT) from genus Juniperus for anticancer drugs. Polymer micelles increase PPT solubility and reduce toxicity, showing promising anticancer activity for future nanomedicine applications.
