Abstract:
The present disclosure provides for polyoxazoline (POZ) conjugates wherein the conformation of the POZ conjugate and the release rate of an agent from the POZ conjugate can be controlled by selecting one or more characteristics of the POZ polymer. Methods of controlling the conformation of a POZ conjugate and the release rate of an agent prior are provided as well as methods of treatment using such POZ conjugates and methods. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a POZ conjugate are also provided.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides novel POZ-2 derivatives, methods for synthesizing POZ-2 derivatives and intermediates useful in such methods. In one embodiment, the POZ-2 derivative comprises two linear POZ chains of the present disclosure linked directly or indirectly to a branching moiety that contains a functional group for linking the POZ-2 derivative to the target molecule. Target molecule-POZ-2 conjugates are also described. In certain embodiment, the POZ-2 derivatives have low polydispersity values and a decreased amount of impurities produced by unwanted side reactions, such as, but not limited to, chain transfer.
Abstract:
Described are conjugates comprising a water-soluble polymer linked to a compound comprising a catechol moiety via a cleavable linkage, wherein the cleavable linkage is formed between the water-soluble polymer and a first phenolic hydroxyl group of the catechol moiety and a second phenolic hydroxyl group of the catechol moiety is linked to a blocking group wherein the rate of hydrolytic release of the compound comprising the catechol moiety is controlled, at least in part, through structure or design of the blocking group on the second phenolic hydroxyl group of the catechol moiety. Therefore, the rate of hydrolytic release of the compound comprising the catechol moiety can be tuned through structural design of the group on the second phenolic hydroxyl group of the catechol moiety. Compounds used in the synthesis of the described conjugates and methods of using the described conjugate and other compounds in the treatment of dopamine-responsive disorders are also described.
Abstract:
In the present disclosure, polymer conjugates, including polymer-antibody-drug conjugates (polymer ADCs) are described, as well as the use of such conjugates to treat human disease. The polymer conjugates can contain a large number of polymer-bound agents, thus effectively increasing the drug antibody ration (DAR) of the antibody significantly beyond the currently available technology. This may be of particular importance when antibodies to low density antigens are used as target antibodies. The described polymer-ADCs have improved pharmacokinetics and solubility relative to traditional ADCs. The linker between agent and the polymer can be tailored to provide release of toxin at the desired site and under the desired conditions within the tumor. An additional feature of the polymer-ADCs of the current disclosure is that a purification moiety can be attached to the polymer backbone to provide ease of purification of the polymer-ADCs.

Abstract:
POZ-lipid conjugates and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) including POZ-lipid conjugates used to facilitate delivery of an encapsulated payload. LNPs including POZ-lipid conjugates and a nucleic acid payload such as, but not limited to, mRNA or modified mRNA are disclosed. Such LNPs have no immunogenicity or reduced immunogenicity as compared to a corresponding LNP containing a PEG-lipid.
