  • Patent number: 10881738
    Abstract: The invention provides small molecule 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 a different biological membrane crossing rate as compared to the biological membrane crossing rate of the small molecule drug not attached to the water-soluble oligomer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 15, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 5, 2021
    Assignee: Nektar Therapeutics
    Inventors: Jennifer Riggs-Sauthier, Franco J. Duarte, Aaron S. Hammons
