The invention discloses a preparation method of a star-shaped 
polymer containing lipoyl at the 
tail end and a preparation method of 
polymer nanoparticles. The star-shaped 
polymer with the 
side chain containing lipoyl is obtained through 
esterification reaction, has controllable LA substitution degree , excellent 
biocompatibility, and can be used for controlling a 
drug release 
system by using the star-shaped polymer; the prepared 
cancer-targeted reduction-sensitive reversibly-crosslinked 
polymer nanoparticle nano-
drug can be in in-vivo stable long circulation, is highly enriched in 
cancer tissues, efficiently enters cells, is rapidly decrosslinked in the cells, releases the 
drug, to efficiently and specifically kill 
cancer cells, thus effectively inhibiting the growth of cancer and having no toxic or 
side effect.
