Abstract:
The present invention is directed to polymeric-prodrug transport forms of the formula: wherein: E are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C alkyls, C branched alkyls, C cycloalkyls, C substituted alkyls, C substituted cycloalkyls, aryls, substituted aryls, aralkyls, C heteroalkyls, substituted C heteroalkyls, C alkoxy, phenoxy, C heteroalkoxy, and at least one of E includes a B moiety, wherein B is a leaving group, OH, a residue of a hydroxyl-or amino-containing moiety or wherein J is the same as J, or another member of the group defining J and E is the same as E , or another member of the group defining E , Y are independently O, S or NR ; M is a heteroatom selected from either X or Q; wherein X is an electron withdrawing group and Q is a moiety containing a free electron pair positioned three to six atoms from C( Y ); R and R are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C alkyls, C branched alkyls, C cycloalkyls, C substituted alkyls, C substituted cycloalkyls, aryls, substituted aryls, aralkyls, C heteroalkyls, substituted C heteroalkyls, C alkoxy, phenoxy and C heteroakoxy; (m ) and (m ) are independently zero or one; (n ), (n ), (p ), (p ) and (q) are independently zero or a positive integer, Z is an electron withdrawing group; and R is a polymeric residue. which is optionally capped with a moiety of the formula:.
