摘要:
The invention provides antihistamine 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 antihistamine drug not attached to the water-soluble oligomer.
摘要:
The invention provides small molecule drugs that are chemically modified by covalent attachment of a water-soluble oligomer obtained from a monodisperse or bimodal water-soluble oligomer composition. A conjugate of the invention, when administered by any of a number of administration routes, exhibits a reduced biological membrane crossing rate as compared to the biological membrane crossing rate of the small molecule drug not attached to the water-soluble oligomer.
摘要:
Provided herein are water-soluble prodrugs. The prodrugs of the invention comprise a water-soluble polymer having three or more arms, at least three of which are 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.
摘要:
Balanced pH, thermo-irreversible gels are ideal vehicles for drug delivery to a body cavity of a mammal. The gels contain a mixture of a polyoxyalkylene block copolymer or polyether together with an ionic polysaccharide which is thermo-irreversibly gelled in the presence of a counter-ion.
摘要:
Aqueous gel drug delivery compositions and medical devices, useful for treating an eye condition, having hyperosmotic, iso-osmotic or hypo-osmotic characteristics in the gel state, are obtained by calculating the osmolality required in the liquid state to reach a desired osmotic force in the gelled state by assuming that a polyoxyalkylene block copolymer does not contribute to the osmolality in the gel state.
摘要:
Provided herein are water-soluble polymer conjugates of topotecan, along with compositions comprising the conjugates and related methods of making and using the same.
摘要:
The invention provides protease inhibitors 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 protease inhibitors not attached to the water-soluble oligomer.
摘要:
Balanced pH, hyperosmotic, hypoosmotic, or isoosmotic gels are ideal vehicles for drug delivery. They are especially suited for topical body cavity or injection application of drugs or diagnostic agents; for drug or diagnostic agent delivery to the eye of a mammal; as protective corneal shields; or as ablatable corneal masks useful in laser reprofiling of the cornea. The compositions without the addition of a drug or diagnostic agent are useful as medical devices, for instance, in separating surgically or otherwise injured tissue as a means of preventing adhesions.
摘要:
Balanced pH, thermo-irreversible gels comprising a polyoxyalkylene compound and an ionic polysaccharide are ideal materials for the formation of a protective contact lens over the cornea of the eye of a mammal.
摘要:
Iso-osmotic, hyperosmotic, or hypo-osmotic, pH balanced, thermoreversible gels are ideal medical devices or vehicles for drug delivery to the skin of a mammal. The osmolality in the gel state can be calculated by assuming that a polyoxyalkylene block copolymer or polyether present in said gel does not contribute to the osmolality in the gel state, although it does contribute to the measured osmolality in the liquid state.
