  • Publication number: 20160279164
    Abstract: Provided is a high-molecular weight conjugate of resorcinol derivatives which is excellent in water solubility and stability and has high antitumor activity even when used in a smaller total drug amount than the resorcinol derivatives. The high-molecular weight conjugate of resorcinol derivatives comprises a structure in which a carboxyl group of polymer moiety having a carboxyl group in the side chain and polyethylene glycol moiety is linked to a hydroxyl group of resorcinol derivatives via an ester bond.

  • Patent number: 9149540
    Abstract: Disclosed is a polymer conjugate of folic acid or a folic acid derivative, wherein an amide bond is not used. The compound has chemical stability and adequate drug release rate in the living organism. Specifically disclosed is a polymer conjugate of folic acid or a folic acid derivative, wherein a substituent represented by formula (I) is bonded to a carboxy group of a block copolymer which is composed of a polyethylene glycol and a polymer having a carboxy group in a side chain, or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof. [In the formula, A represents a monocyclic or fused aromatic group; G represents an optionally substituted (C1-C6) alkylene group; Y represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent; and E represents a residue of folic acid or a folic acid derivative.

  • Patent number: 8920788
    Abstract: Disclosed is a water-soluble high-molecular weight conjugate of physiologically active substances which enable medicament to release without depending on the enzymes in a living body and which is expected to have a useful therapeutic effect. A high-molecular weight conjugate of a physiologically active substance has a substituent group represented by a general formula (1) bonded to a side-chain carboxy group of a block copolymer which has a polyethylene glycol moiety and either a polyaspartic acid moiety or a polyglutamic acid moiety.
