Provided herein are dendrimers comprising: a core unit, five generations of building units which are lysine residues or analogues thereof, first terminal groups comprising a cabazitazel residue covalently attached to a diglycolyl linker group, and second terminal groups comprising a PEG group. Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the dendrimers, and methods and uses of the dendrimers in therapy of disorders such as cancers. Processes for making the dendrimers and intermediates are also provided.

Therapeutic dendrimer

A macromolecule includes i) a dendrimer with a core and at least one generation of lysine residue building units, the outermost generation of building units having surface amino groups, ii) a first terminal group covalently attached to a first surface amino group of a building unit, which includes a residue of docetaxel (DTX), and iii) a second terminal group covalently attached to a second surface amino group of a building unit, which includes a pharmacokinetic modifying agent. The pharmacokinetic modifying agent can be a polyethylene glycol (PEG). The first terminal group can be covalently attached to the surface amino group of the dendrimer through a diacid linker. The diacid linker can include a 2,2'-thiodiacetic acid residue. The diacid linker can form an ester bond with a hydroxyl group of the DTX and an amide bond with the surface amino group. A pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the macromolecule can be prepared.

Macromolecules

The present invention relates to a macromolecule comprising a dendrimer having surface amino groups to which at least two different terminal groups are attached including a pharmaceutically active agent and a pharmacokinetic modifying agent, the pharmaceutically active agent comprising a hydroxyl group and being attached to the surface amino group of the dendrimer through a diacid linker. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the macromolecules and methods of treatment using the macromolecules are also described.

The present invention relates to a macromolecule having a controlled terminal group stoichiometry, the macromolecule including a surface layer, at least one subsurface layer and at least two terminal groups including: a first terminal group which is a residue of a pharmaceutically active agent, a derivative thereof or precursor therefor; and a second terminal group selected to modify the pharmacokinetics of the pharmaceutically active agent and/or macromolecule, wherein terminal group stoichiometry refers to the number and type of terminal groups.

Modified macromolecule

The following invention is directed to macromolecules having controlled stoichiometry and topology, processes for their production, and applications for their use. The macromolecules have a controlled functional moiety stoichiometry and include at least one dendritic motif having a surface layer formed from at least one surface building unit and at least one subsurface layer formed from at least one building unit, the surface building unit and building units having a hydrocarbon backbone bearing a carbonyl group and at least one amine group; and at least two different functional moieties on the building unit and/or surface building unit; where functional moiety stoichiometry refers to the number and type of functional moieties.

Macromolecular compounds having controlled stoichiometry

The present invention relates generally to chemical compounds and methods for their use and preparation. In particular, the invention relates to chemical compounds which may possess useful therapeutic activity, use of these compounds in methods of therapy and the manufacture of medicaments as well as compositions containing these compounds.

Furo[2,3-d]pyrimidines and related compounds and methods for treating disease states by inhibiting tubulin polymerization
