Linear cyclodextrin copolymers and linear oxidized cyclodextrin copolymers
containing an unoxidized and/or an oxidized cyclodextrin moiety integrated into
the polymer backbone are described. Methods of preparing such copolymers are also
described. The linear cyclodextrin copolymer and linear oxidized cyclodextrin copolymer
of the invention may be used as a delivery vehicle of various therapeutic agents.
