Claims20
A conjugate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, comprising a water-soluble, non-peptidic, and non-nucleotidic polymer backbone having at least one terminus covalently bonded to a structure of formula (1):
- or a salt thereof,
- wherein:
- A is the point of covalent bonding to the terminus of the polymer backbone, wherein the polymer backbone is poly(ethylene glycol);

- G is selected from the group consisting of:
- hydrogen, alkoxy, and a hydrophobic separation handle;
- Z1 is O;
- Z2 is O;
- L is selected from the group consisting of:
- a divalent radical of a nucleoside, alkylene, alkyleneoxyalkylene, oligomeric alkyleneoxyalkylene, and unsubstituted and substituted arylene;
- R1 is absent or a hydrophobic separation handle;
- M is a biologically active molecule;
- and
- R is absent.
A conjugate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, comprising a compound of formula (2):
- or a salt form thereof,
- wherein:

- M1 is a biologically active molecule.
A conjugate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, comprising a compound of formula (3):
- or a salt form thereof,
- wherein:
- polymer is a linear poly(ethylene glycol), wherein M2 and the phosphonate-derived functional group are bonded at a different terminus of said poly(ethylene glycol);
- E is O;
- E1 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 is O;
- Z2 is O;
- L is selected from the group consisting of:
- a divalent radical of nucleoside, alkylene, alkyleneoxyalkylene, oligomeric alkyleneoxyalkylene, and unsubstituted and substituted arylene;
- M is a biologically active molecule;
- M2 is selected from O, S or NH;
- and
- R is absent;
- and
