摘要 |
Disclosed are polymers that are poly(beta-amino ester)s (PBAEs) modified with at least one oligopeptide. The polymers may be used in any field where polymers have been found useful including in medical fields, particularly in drug delivery. The polymers are particularly useful in delivering a polynucleotide such as DNA, RNA and siRNA, a small molecule or a protein. Also disclosed are compositions comprising said polymers and an active agent, methods of encapsulating an agent in a matrix of said polymers, and said polymers and compositions for use in medicine. |

1. A polymer of formula I: wherein each L1 and L2 is independently selected from the group consisting of R1/R2 O, S, NRx and a bond; wherein Rx is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkenyl, heteroalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, acyl, aryl or heteroaryl;
L3 is independently selected from the group consisting of alkylene, alkenylene, heteroalkylene, heteroalkenylene, arylene or heteroarylene; L4 is selected from the group consisting of L5 is independently selected from the group consisting of alkylene, alkenylene, heteroalkylene, heteroalkenylene, arylene or heteroarylene; R1 and R2 are independently selected from an oligopeptide and Ry; wherein at least one of R1 and R2 is an oligopeptide; and wherein Ry is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkenyl, heteroalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, acyl, aryl or heteroaryl; each R3 is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkenyl, heteroalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, acyl, aryl or heteroaryl; and n is an integer from 5 to 10,000; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. |
