  • Publication number: 20230125630
    Abstract: Provided are polyphosphazenes and methods of making and using the polyphosphazenes. The polyphosphazenes can be essentially chloride free. The polyphosphazenes can be phosphazene polyacids. The polyphosphazenes can be used as surface coatings, or as adjuvants when combined with antigens.

  • Patent number: 11584828
    Abstract: Polyphosphazenes polyelectrolytes. The polyphosphazenes can be prepared by substituting pendant groups (e.g., ionic groups or pendant groups that can form ionic groups) onto a reactive macromolecular precursor for example, by reaction between the reactive chlorine atoms on the backbone of poly(dichlorophosphazene) and appropriate organic nucleophiles. In certain examples, one or more charged pendant groups of a polyphosphazene is/are further modified to introduce desired counterions, which can be hydrophobic counterions. The polyphosphazenes can activate distinct Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) and can be used in methods of stimulating an immune response.

  • Publication number: 20190321476
    Abstract: Provided are pharmaceutical agent carriers (e.g., multifunctional polyphosphazenes). Such polymers can be useful as delivery carriers for pharmaceutical agents. Specifically they can be useful for prolonging serum half-life, reducing immunogenicity, and facilitating intracellular and cytosolic delivery of pharmaceutical agents. Also provided are compositions comprising pharmaceutical agent carriers and methods of delivering pharmaceutical agents using the compositions.
