20090074704 | Multi-Arm Polymer Prodrugs - Provided herein are water-soluble prodrugs, compositions comprising such prodrugs, and related methods of making and administering the same. The prodrugs of the invention comprise a water-soluble polymer having three or more arms, at least three of which are typically covalently attached to an active agent, e.g., a small molecule. The conjugates of the invention provide an optimal balance of polymer size and structure for achieving improved drug loading, since the conjugates of the invention possess three or more active agents releasably attached to a multi-armed water-soluble polymer. The prodrugs of the invention are therapeutically effective, and exhibit improved properties in-vivo when compared to unmodified parent drug. | 03-19-2009 |

20100286084 | Oligomer-Nucleoside Phosphate Conjugates - The invention provides small molecule drugs that are chemically modified by covalent attachment of a water soluble, non-peptidic oligomer. The conjugates of the invention, when administered by any of a number of administration routes, exhibits advantages over previously administered compounds. | 11-11-2010 |
20100317707 | Oligomer-Nitroimidazole Anti-Infective Conjugates - The invention provides (among other things) small molecule drugs that are chemically modified by covalent attachment of a water soluble oligomer. | 12-16-2010 |
20110098273 | Oligomer-Calcium Channel Blocker Conjugates - The invention provides small molecule drugs that are chemically modified by covalent attachment of a water soluble oligomer. A conjugate of the invention, when administered by any of a number of administration routes, exhibits characteristics that are different from the characteristics of the small molecule drug not attached to the water soluble oligomer. | 04-28-2011 |
20110237747 | Multi-Arm Polypeptide-Poly(ethylene glycol) Block Copolymers as Drug Delivery Vehicles - The invention provides a multi-arm block copolymer for use in delivering a variety of bioactive agents. The copolymer of the invention contains a central core from which extend multiple (3 or more) copolymer arms. Each copolymer arm possesses an inner polypeptide segment and an outer hydrophilic polymer segment. Thus, the overall structure of the copolymer comprises an inner core region that includes the central core and the inner polypeptide segment, while the outer core region is hydrophilic in nature. The multi-arm copolymer of the invention is particularly useful for delivery of biologically active agents that can be entrapped within the inner core region. | 09-29-2011 |
20120004242 | Oligomer-Diarylpiperazine Conjugates - The invention relates to (among other things) oligomer-diarylpiperazine conjugates and related compounds. A conjugate of the invention, when administered by any of a number of administration routes, exhibits advantages over previously administered un-conjugated diarylpiperazine compounds. | 01-05-2012 |
20130158062 | MULTI-ARM POLYMER PRODRUGS - Provided herein are water-soluble prodrugs, compositions comprising such prodrugs, and related methods of making and administering the same.
