Conjugates comprising at least two active agents linked by a diglycolic acid or polyglycol diacid linker are disclosed. The invention also concerns oligomers and polymers of these conjugates and their use in therapeutic and industrial applications for localized, immediate or fast release delivery of an active agent, such as an anti-microbial, anti-infective, or antiseptic agent.

Active agents and their oligomers and polymers

Anhydride polymers that release active or activatable agent(s) have pre-selected properties such as molecular weight, flexibility, hardness, adhesiveness, and other valuable properties. The polymers are suitable for use in compositions, formulations, coatings, devices, and the like that benefit from the controlled release of an agent(s) over a period of time. The polymers are prepared by a process involving various alternative and sequential steps that allow the design a priori of products with specific characteristics. The polymers are suitable as delivery systems, either by themselves, as compositions, formulations or devices.
