Abstract: The present invention relates to achiral polyurea oligomers, their uses and formulations as anti-HIV pharmaceuticals and to a process for the preparation of narrow mono- and polydispersed oligomers as an emodiment of the invention. The achiral oligomers are derived from repeating units of the monomer 4,4'-diamino-biphenyl-3,3'-disulfonic acid and are water soluble, have a rigid backbone, possess ordered anionic spacing and have a number average molecular weight of <20,000. The process relates to the synthesis of narrow poly- and mono-dipersed oligomers comprising the steps of: 1) restricting the crude olydispersed anionic oligomer mixture to a narrow polydispersed anionic oligomer mixture to a narrow polydispersed anionic oligomer mixture; and/or 2) isolating the monodispersed anionic oligomer; and 3) optionally converting the narrow poly- or mono-dispersed anionic oligomer salt from Step 1 or 2 to a desired pharmaceutically-acceptable salt, especially a solim or potassium salt.

Abstract: The preferred oligomers of the present invention are polyureas, polycarbonates, polyesters or polyamides having a number average molecular weight of <10,000. These oligomers are water-soluble, have a rigid backbone, have recurring units coupled by carbonyl linking moieties which have anionic groups, display predominantly linear geomentry such that regular spacing between anionic groups exists in an aqueous medium, and are pharmaceutically-acceptable. The oligomers are useful for the treatment and/or diagnosis of AIDS and ARC.
