POLYMER CONJUGATE RELEASABLE UNDER MILD THIOLYTIC CONDITIONS.

摘要

Conjugates of formula (I) comprising a lipid or a hydrophilic polymer, such as polyethyleneglycol, linked to a ligand derived from an amine- or hydroxyl-containing compound, such as a drug or protein, are stable under conditions of storage, and are cleavable under mild thiolytic conditions to regenerate the amine- or hydroxyl-containing compound in its native form, without the formation of undesirable side products.
