The present contribution to the field of macromolecular dextran prodrugs attempts to review the influence of the chemical and physicochemical properties of such polymeric derivatives on their in vivo disposition and therapeutic activity. The utility of various drug fixation methods to provide well-defined dextran-drug conjugates with feasible delivery characteristics is discussed. Several physicochemical properties of synthesized dextran prodrugs, such as hydrodynamic volume, shape, flexibility, charge and hydrophilic/lipophilic balance, are determinants for their pharmacokinetic fate. The events influenced by one or more of these factors, including liver uptake, uptake by the RES system, extravasation and lymphatic transport, residence time locally in tissue/body cavity, and renal elimination, are reviewed. It is emphasized that adequate characterization of the prepared dextran prodrugs prior to biological evaluation is of the utmost importance.
