A drug-polymer conjugate, which is a copolymer of at least one monomer of formula (I): (I) where: X may be the same or different at each occurrence and represents a terminal functional group comprising an alkyne or an azide; Q is independently selected at each occurrence and may be present or absent and when present, represents a linking group; R is selected from the group consisting of linear or branched hydrocarbon, optionally substituted aryl and optionally substituted heteroaryl; D is a releasable drug selected from prostaglandins, β-blockers and mixtures thereof; L is a linker group group; and at least one co-monomer of Formula III III J represents a linking functional group, n is 2 to 8, preferably 3 to 8; Y comprises a polyether of formula (ORa)m wherein Ra is independently ethylene, propylene and butylene and m is from 1 to 300 (preferably 2 to 300) and the polyether is in chain with one or more groups which are preferably selected from one or more of optionally substituted straight or branched Ci to do alkylene, amino, ether, ester, amide, carbonate and carbamate; A may be the same or different at each occurrence and represents a group comprising a terminal functional group comprising an alkyne or an azide functionality, wherein said terminal functional group is complementary to the terminal functional group X of formula (I) providing triazole moieties from reaction of X and A.

Biodegradable drug-polymer conjugate

This invention relates to compounds of formula (I) and methods of treatment using the compounds. The invention also relates to processes and methods for producing the compounds of the invention. The compounds of the invention are modulators of Factor XII (e.g. Factor XIIa). In particular, the compounds are inhibitors of Factor XIIa and may be useful as anticoagulants.

Factor XIIA inhibitors

A drug-polymer conjugate, which is a copolymer of at least one monomer of formula (I): (I) where: X may be the same or different at each occurrence and represents a terminal functional group comprising an alkyne or an azide; Q is independently selected at each occurrence and may be present or absent and when present, represents a linking group; R is selected from the group consisting of linear or branched hydrocarbon, optionally substituted aryl and optionally substituted heteroaryl; D is a releasable drug selected from prostaglandins, &#x3b2;-blockers and mixtures thereof; L is a linker group group; and at least one co-monomer of Formula III III J represents a linking functional group, n is 2 to 8, preferably 3 to 8; Y comprises a polyether of formula (ORa)m wherein Ra is independently ethylene, propylene and butylene and m is from 1 to 300 (preferably 2 to 300) and the polyether is in chain with one or more groups which are preferably selected from one or more of optionally substituted straight or branched C1 to do alkylene, amino, ether, ester, amide, carbonate and carbamate; A may be the same or different at each occurrence and represents a group comprising a terminal functional group comprising an alkyne or an azide functionality, wherein said terminal functional group is complementary to the terminal functional group X of formula (I) providing triazole moieties from reaction of X and A.

A polymer-prostaglandin conjugate comprising: a polymer backbone comprising a plurality of moieties of formula (I): where: T represents a triazole moiety; Q is independently selected at each occurrence and may be present or absent and when present represents a linking group; R is selected from the group consisting of linear or branched hydrocarbon; D is selected from prostaglandins; and L is a group of formula (II) wherein Ris selected from hydrogen and Cto Calkyl; (R) indicates the end of the group bonded to the R group; and (D) indicates the end of the group attached to the group D.

A polymer-prostaglandin conjugate comprising: a polymer backbone comprising a plurality of moieties of formula (I): where: T represents a triazole moiety; Q is independently selected at each occurrence and may be present or absent and when present represents a linking group; R is selected from the group consisting of linear or branched hydrocarbon; D is selected from prostaglandins; and L is a group of formula (II) wherein Ris selected from hydrogen and Cto Calkyl; (R) indicates the end of the group bonded to the R group; and (D) indicates the end of the group attached to the group D. 

The present invention relates in general to polymer-bioactive agent conjugates for delivering a bioactive agent to a subject. The polymer-bioactive agent conjugates contain triazole moieties in the polymer backbone and a bioactive moiety selected from quinolones, NSAIDs and mixtures thereof. The present invention also relates to methods for preparing the polymer conjugates using click cycloaddition chemical reactions, to monomer-bioactive agent conjugates suitable for preparing the polymer conjugates, and to pharmaceutical products comprising the polymer conjugates for the post-surgical care to treat or prevent infections, provide analgesia and treat inflammation.

Polymer conjugate comprising a bioactive agent

The present invention relates in general to polymer-bioactive agent conjugates for delivering a bioactive agent to a subject. The polymer-bioactive agent conjugates contain triazole moieties in the polymer backbone and a bioactive moiety comprising prostaglandin analogues. The present invention also relates to methods for preparing the polymer conjugates using click chemical reactions, to monomer-bioactive agent conjugates suitable for preparing the polymer conjugates, and to pharmaceutical products comprising the polymer conjugates for the treatment of glaucoma.
