Abstract
This invention pertains generally to valency molecules, such as valency platform molecules which act as scaffolds to which one or more molecules may be covalently tethered to form a conjugate. More particularly, the present invention pertains to valency platform molecules which comprise a carbamate linkage (i.e., —O—C(═O)—N<). In one aspect, the present invention pertains to valency platforms comprising carbamate linkages, which molecules have the structure of any one of Formulae I, II, or III, shown in FIG. . In one aspect, the present invention pertains to valency platforms comprising carbamate linkages, which molecules have the structure of any one of Formulae IV, V, or VI, shown in FIG. . The present invention also pertains to methods of preparing such valency platform molecules, conjugates comprising such valency platform molecules, and methods of preparing such conjugates.
