摘要:
The present invention relates to amphiphilic drug-oligomer conjugates capable of traversing the blood-brain barrier (“BBB”) and to methods of making and using such conjugates. An amphiphilic drug-oligomer conjugates comprise a therapeutic compound conjugated to an oligomer, wherein the oligomer comprises a lipophilic moiety coupled to a hydrophilic moiety. The conjugates of the invention further comprise therapeutic agents such as proteins, peptides, nucleosides, nucleotides, antiviral agents, antineoplastic agents, antibiotics, etc., and prodrugs, precursors, derivatives and intermediates thereof, chemically coupled to amphiphilic oligomers.

摘要:
Methods of synthesizing a substantially monodispersed mixture of polymers comprising polyethylene glycol moieties include: reacting a substantially monodispersed mixture of compounds having the structure of Formula I: R1(OC2H4)n—O−X+ (I) wherein R1 is H or a lipophilic moiety; n is from 1 to 25; and X+ is a positive ion, with a substantially monodispersed mixture of compounds having the structure of Formula II: R2(OC2H4)m—OMs (II) wherein R2 is H or a lipophilic moiety; and m is from 1 to 25, under conditions sufficient to provide a substantially monodispersed mixture of polymers comprising polyethylene glycol moieties and having the structure of Formula III: R2(OC2H4)m+n—OR1 (III).
摘要:
A mixture of conjugates in which each conjugate in the mixture comprises a calcitonin drug coupled to an oligomer that includes a polyalkylene glycol moiety is disclosed. The mixture may lower serum calcium levels in a subject by 10, 15 or even 20 percent or more. Moreover, the mixture may be more effective at surviving an in vitro model of intestinal digestion than non-conjugated calcitonin. Furthermore, the mixture may exhibit a higher bioavailability than non-conjugated calcitonin.
摘要:
A mixture of conjugates in which each conjugate in the mixture comprises an insulin drug coupled to an oligomer that includes a polyalkylene glycol moiety is disclosed. The mixture may exhibit higher in vivo activity than a polydispersed mixture of similar conjugates. The mixture may also be more effective at surviving an in vitro model of intestinal digestion than polydispersed mixtures of similar conjugates. The mixture may also result in less inter-subject variability than polydispersed mixtures of similar conjugates.
摘要:
Methods of treating diabetes mellitus in a patient in need of such treatment include administering an effective amount of an insulin drug to the patient in order to treat diabetes mellitus in the patient. Methods according to the present invention may “activate” the liver, potentially restoring normal glucose homeostasis to individuals suffering from diabetes mellitus.
摘要:
Taxane prodrugs comprise a taxane joined by a hydrolyzable bond to one or more oligomers that comprise a polyethylene glycol moiety. The oligomer preferably further comprises a salt-forming moiety.
