The present invention relates to novel compositions of therapeutic cyclodextrin containing polymeric compounds designed as a carrier for small molecule therapeutics delivery and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. These cyclodextrin-containing polymers improve drug stability and solubility, and reduce toxicity of the small molecule therapeutic when used in vivo. Furthermore, by selecting from a variety of linker groups and targeting ligands the polymers present methods for controlled delivery of the therapeutic agents. The invention also relates to methods of treating subjects with the therapeutic compositions described herein. The invention further relates to methods for conducting pharmaceutical business comprising manufacturing, licensing, or distributing kits containing or relating to the polymeric compounds described herein.
A method of making a water soluble linear polymer conjugate comprising therapeutic agents comprising:
A linear polymer conjugate comprising beta cyclodextrin moieties, comonomers, and therapeutic agents covalently attached to the linear polymer, which linear polymer may be formed via poly condensation of beta cyclodextrin containing monomers and comonomers which do not contain beta cyclodextin moieties, wherein the therapeutic agents are cleaved from the linear polymer under biological conditions to release therapeutic agents.
