1. A method of making a TNF inhibitor conjugate, said method comprising reacting a TNF inhibitor or a derivative thereof with a preparation comprising a water-soluble, non-peptidic, and non-nucleotidic polymer backbone having at least one terminus covalently bonded to a structure of formula (1) under conditions suitable for group M or R to react with a TNF inhibitor or said derivative thereof: or a salt thereof, wherein: A is the point of covalent bonding to the terminus of the polymer backbone; E is O or S; K is selected from the group consisting of: alkylene, alkyleneoxyalkylene, and oligomeric alkyleneoxyalkylene; G is selected from the group consisting of: hydrogen, alkoxy, and a hydrophobic separation handle; Z1 and Z2 are independently selected from O and NH, wherein only one of Z1 and Z2 can be NH; L is selected from the group consisting of: a divalent radical of a nucleoside, alkylene, alkyleneoxyalkylene, oligomeric alkyleneoxyalkylene, and unsubstituted and substituted arylene; M is a protected group that when deprotected is reactive with a TNF inhibitor or derivative thereof or is a group reactive with a TNF inhibitor or derivative thereof; R is absent or selected from the group consisting of: hydrogen, a protecting group, a hydrophobic separation handle, or an activating group; R1 is absent or a hydrophobic separation handle; wherein when M is a protected group that when deprotected is reactive with a TNF inhibitor or derivative thereof, then R is a protecting group or a hydrophobic separation handle; wherein when M is a group reactive with a TNF inhibitor or derivative thereof, R is absent, hydrogen, or an activating group; and wherein only one of R, R1, and G can be a hydrophobic separation handle. |
