A non-enzymatically self cleaving dipeptide element is provided that can be linked to known medicinal agents via an amide bond. The dipeptide will spontaneously be cleaved from the medicinal agent under physiological conditions through a reaction driven by chemical instability. Accordingly, the dipeptide element provides a means of linking various compounds to known medicinal agents wherein the compounds are subsequently released from the medicinal agent after a predetermined time of exposure to physiological conditions. For example, the dipeptide can be linked to an active site of a drug to form a prodrug and/or the dipeptide may comprise a depot polymer to sequester an injectable composition comprising the complex at the point of administration.
提供了一种非酶自裂二肽元素,可通过酰胺键与已知药物剂量连接。在生理条件下,由于
化学不稳定性驱动的反应,二肽将自发地从药物剂量中裂解。因此,二肽元素提供了一种将各种化合物链接到已知药物剂量的手段,其中化合物在暴露于生理条件一定时间后随后从药物剂量中释放出来。例如,二肽可以与药物的活性位点连接以形成前药,或二肽可以包含一个沉淀聚合物,以将包含复合物的注射剂量隔离在给药点处。
