Various compositions that include a hydrophobic compound and a polymer conjugate are described herein. The compositions can include a polymer conjugate, a first hydrophobic drug, and a second hydrophobic drug. The polymer conjugates of the compositions described herein are capable of conjugating to a number of agents, such as imaging agents, targeting agents, stabilizing agents and/or drugs. Additionally, the polymer conjugates described herein can form nanoparticles that effectively solubilize the agent in an aqueous system by dispersing it at a molecular level, thus increasing the functionality and/or bioavailability of the agent. The compositions described herein are useful for a variety of drug, biomolecule, and imaging agent delivery applications, including delivery of an agent to specific parts of the body. |
