A novel methodology for making drug conjugates using hyaluronan as a carrier was developed. This strategy involves a completely regioselective two-step synthesis of 6-amino-6-deoxyhyaluronan, which is then easily functionalized with drugs through a suitable linker. The case of hyaluronan–camptothecin conjugates is described, making use of a simple succinate linker. The antitumor activity of new hyaluronan derivatives prepared is at present under evaluation.
