The invention relates to a nanostructured active ingredient carrier system, in particular for reducing cytotoxic properties owing to the use of sheath polymer and the transport resulting therefrom, for interactions with cell membranes during the transport of hydrophilic constituents and, in connection therewith, the generation of an early endosomal release of the interaction complex from the carrier system. The problem addressed by the present invention is that of specifying a nanostructured active ingredient carrier system which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art and in particular permits a reduction in cytotoxic properties owing to the use of a sheath polymer and the transport resulting therefrom.
