Research into advanced therapeutics for malaria are rare. We investigate how linker chemistry governs the release kinetics of the antimalarial lumefantrine from polyethylene glycol conjugates. A clear correlation between diacid linker length and drug release rate is established, enabling rational design of conjugates with controlled release.
