Abstract
Hyaluronic acid has good biocompatibility, biodegradability, and nonimmunogenicity. In addition, it has the ability to recognize specific receptors that are overexpressed on the surface of tumor cells, and cancer drugs can be targeted to the tumor cells to better kill them. Therefore, hyaluronic acid has attracted much attention as drug delivery vehicle. Herein, the application of hyaluronic acid as carrier in drug delivery was analyzed and summarized in detail. It showed that hyaluronic acid would have broad prospects for drug delivery.
