US Patent:
20100166654, Jul 1, 2010
Filed:
Dec 2, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/792329
Inventors:
Ahmad Safavy - Birmingham AL, US
Assignee:
THE UAB RESEARCH FOUNDATION - Birmingham AL
International Classification:
A61K 47/48
C07K 7/06

US Classification:

Abstract:
An adhesive is provided containing at least one synthetic polymer with receptor sites that enable the selective capture or release of a target molecule. A polymer is synthesized by polymerizing and cross-linking a functional monomer or functional copolymers in the presence of a target or template molecule allowing for reversible interactions between the polymer and the target molecule. The target molecule may be extracted from the polymer creating receptor sites complimentary to the target molecule. Alternatively, the target molecule may remain in the polymer network and be controllably released. The molecularly imprinted polymer is formulated into an adhesive. The adhesive can be used as a component in an in-vitro diagnostic device to release template molecules or to capture target molecules in vacated receptor sites in the synthetic polymer.

Abstract:
Heterofunctional segment-poly(ethylene glycol) polymers, conjugates of these molecules with therapeutic and/or imaging agents, and methods for their use are disclosed. The heterofunctional segment-poly(ethylene glycol) polymers are useful as drug delivery conjugates, i.e., the heterofunctional segment-poly(ethylene glycol) polymers can be covalently attached to therapeutic agents (e.g., pharmaceutically active agents) and serve as delivery vehicles for the therapeutic agents. The heterofunctional segment-poly(ethylene glycol) polymers are also useful as imaging agent conjugates, i.e. the heterofunctional segment-poly(ethylene glycol) polymers can be covalently attached to imaging agents (e.g., tracers, imaging atoms, and imaging molecules) and serve as delivery vehicles for the imaging agents. Also disclosed are methods for treating a subject by administering to the subject an effective amount of the polymers conjugated to a therapeutic agent, an imaging agent, or a mixture thereof.
