Abstract: Disclosed are an 8-arm polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative (formula 1), manufacturing method and modified bio-related substance thereby, wherein a tetravalent group U and four trivalent groups Ec form a highly symmetric octavalent central structure CORE0 together, Lc connects the octavalent center to eight PEG arms having polydiversity or monodiversity and having n1-n8 as the degrees of polymerization thereof. The terminal of one PEG chain is connected to at least one functional group F (k?1), and said PEG chain and F can be directly connected (g=0) or connected with a divalent linking group L0 connected with a terminal branched group G (g=1) therebetween. The latter provides more reacting sites to combine more pharmaceutical molecules, thereby increasing the drug loading capacity.

Abstract: Disclosed are an eight-arm polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative (formula I), production method therefor and modified bio-related substance thereby. Wherein, one tetravalent group U together with four trivalent groups Ec form a highly symmetrical octavalent group CORE0; Lc connects the octavalent group to eight PEG chains having polydispersity or monodispersity and having n1 to n8 as the degree of polymerization thereof; the terminal of one PEG chain is connected to at least one functional group F (k?1); said PEG chain and F therebetween can be directly connected (g=0) or be indirectly connected via a linking group L0 to a terminal end-branching group G (g=1); the latter provides more reactive sites for binding more drug molecules and increases the drug loading.
