  • Patent number: 7153946
    Abstract: A molecular conjugate is provided having the formula: wherein R1 is a de-hydroxyl or de-amino moiety respectively of a hydroxyl-bearing or amino-bearing biologically active molecule or an analog or derivative thereof, and Z is —O— or —NH—, respectively, Y is a straight or branched alkyl having 1 to 20 carbons that may be optionally substituted with one or more phenyl, a cycloalkyl optionally substituted with one or more alkyl or phenyl, or an aromatic group optionally substituted with one or more alkyl groups, electron-withdrawing groups, or electron-donating groups; and R2 is —CH?CH(W), —CH(OH)CH(OH)W, or —C(O)H, where W can be H, a straight or branched alkyl having 1 to 20 carbons that may be optionally substituted with one or more phenyl, a cycloalkyl optionally substituted with one or more alkyl or phenyl, or an aromatic group optionally substituted with one or more alkyl groups, electron-withdrawing groups, or electron-donating groups.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 24, 2004
    Date of Patent: December 26, 2006

  • Patent number: 6825166
    Abstract: A molecular conjugate is provided having the formula: wherein n is the conjugation number, P is a moiety of a carrier molecule such as a protein, R1 is a moiety of a biologically active molecule or its analogs, derivatives, salts or secondary amines, Z is —O— or —NH—, and Y is a straight or branched alkyl having 1 to 20 carbons optionally substituted with one or more phenyl, a cycloalkyl optionally substituted with one or more alkyl or phenyl, or an aromatic group optionally substituted with one or more alkyl, electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups. Compounds and methods useful in producing such molecular conjugates are also provided, as well as methods of concentrating biologically active molecules in selected target cells of a patient that comprise administering to the patient a selected dose of such molecular conjugates.
