Abstract: This invention provides compositions for controlled localized depositing of one or more drugs within a subject. More particularly, described herein are compositions comprising a) a polyethylene glycol (PEG) composition having a first low molecular weight PEG (Mw between 200-500 Da) and a second low molecular weight PEG (Mw between 500-2000 Da) and b) a mucoadhesive in polymer. Alternatively, composition may comprise a) a polyethylene glycol (PEG) composition having a first low molecular weight PEG (Mw between 200-500 Da) and a second low molecular weight PEG (Mw between 500-2000 Da), b) a water insoluble polymer and c) a mucoadhesive polymer. Furthermore, the composition may further comprise one or more drugs. Also provided are methods of manufacturing and administering the compositions described herein, which are used as biodegradable, injectable mucoadhesive low-viscosity pastes.

Abstract: Herein are provided derivatized hyperbranched polyglycerols (“dHPGs”). The dHPG comprises a core comprising a hyperbranched polyglycerol derivatized with C1C20 alkyl chains and a shell comprising at least one hydrophilic substituent bound to hydroxyl groups of the core, wherein the hyperbranched polyglycerol comprises from about 1 to about 200 moles of the at least one hydrophilic substituent. The dHPGs are for use as agents for the delivery of a drug or other biologically active moiety to the urinary tract, the digestive tract, the airways, the vaginal cavity and cervix and the peritoneal cavity to treat indications such as cancer, which may be useful in the treatment of or the manufacture of a medicament, in the preparation, of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of cancer, as a pre-treatment or co-treatment to improve drug uptake in a tissue. Furthermore, there are provided methods of making dHPGs.
