Polymer and composition from renewable source

Abstract

The present invention relates to polymers, compositions thereof, and methods of producing polymers in general. Furthermore, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions and uses of said polymers, compositions and pharmaceutical compositions. More particular, the present invention relates to polymers of jasmine lactone, where pendant groups of said polymers can readily be used for attaching functional moieties comprising active agents. Furthermore, the present invention relates to modified jasmine lactones that can readily be used in methods of producing polymers of the present invention. More particular, the invention relates to polymers from renewable monomers, which can be used in applications such as drug delivery and diagnosis, polymer-drug conjugates, medical devices, cosmetic products, polymers with marker unit, polymers usable as flame retardants, tissue engineering, coatings, paints, lubricants and biodegradable plastics.
