Abstract: Heterofunctional segment-poly(ethylene glycol) polymers, conjugates of these molecules with therapeutic and/or imaging agents, and methods for their use are disclosed. The heterofunctional segment-poly(ethylene glycol) polymers are useful as drug delivery conjugates, i.e., the heterofunctional segment-poly(ethylene glycol) polymers can be covalently attached to therapeutic agents (e.g., pharmaceutically active agents) and serve as delivery vehicles for the therapeutic agents. The heterofunctional segment-poly(ethylene glycol) polymers are also useful as imaging agent conjugates, i.e. the heterofunctional segment-poly(ethylene glycol) polymers can be covalently attached to imaging agents (e.g., tracers, imaging atoms, and imaging molecules) and serve as delivery vehicles for the imaging agents. Also disclosed are methods for treating a subject by administering to the subject an effective amount of the polymers conjugated to a therapeutic agent, an imaging agent, or a mixture thereof.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes the design and synthesis of a novel class of water soluble curcumin-based compounds. These water soluble curcumin-based compounds are shown to provide superior cell killing activity and exhibit increased and cell internalization solubility in aqueous solutions as compared to the free (unconjugated) curcumin. The present disclosure provides compositions for the treatment or prevention of a variety of disease states or conditions, such as but not limited to, cancer, other cell hyperproliferative disorders and chronic inflammatory conditions, said compositions comprising a water soluble curcumin-based compound.

Abstract: Described is a multi drug multiligand conjugate for targeted drug delivery. The MDML conjugate contains a plurality of tripartite molecules linked to a central scaffold moiety, with each tripartite molecule comprising a targeting molecule, a therapeutic agent and a scaffold binding element. The MDML conjugate allows for more efficient delivery of therapeutic agents to the cells resulting in enhanced therapeutic efficiency. A model MDL conjugate is disclosed as well as method for the synthesis of the model conjugate.

Abstract: An adhesive is provided containing at least one synthetic polymer with receptor sites that enable the selective capture or release of a target molecule. A polymer is synthesized by polymerizing and cross-linking a functional monomer or functional copolymers in the presence of a target or template molecule allowing for reversible interactions between the polymer and the target molecule. The target molecule may be extracted from the polymer creating receptor sites complimentary to the target molecule. Alternatively, the target molecule may remain in the polymer network and be controllably released. The molecularly imprinted polymer is formulated into an adhesive. The adhesive can be used as a component in an in-vitro diagnostic device to release template molecules or to capture target molecules in vacated receptor sites in the synthetic polymer.

Abstract: The present invention describes for the first time the design and synthesis of a soluble tumor-directed paclitaxel prodrug which may establish a new mode of utilization of the taxane class of anticancer agents in cancer therapy.

Abstract: The present disclosure details the preparation of hydroxamic-acid based bifunctional chelators and their use in conjugating metal ions to proteins and nucleic acids for tumor or tissue imaging or therapy purposes. Some preferred aspects of the disclosure involve the preparation of trisuccin, chemical name N-?tris(2-N- benzyloxyaminocarbonylethyl)! methylsuccinamic acid, which is a hydroxamic acid/succinate based structure that is particularly useful for binding radionuclides such as .sup.99m Tc, .sup.186 Re and .sup.67 Cu.
