Methods of making ligand-decorated polymer conjugates of therapeutic glycoproteins are described. Improved targeting of glycoproteins to specific tissues is achieved by masking the natural carbohydrate and other surface determinants with high molecular weight polymers, such as, e.g., PEG, polysialic acid, etc., which in turn are decorated with target-specific ligands. In some embodiments, acid-labile linkages in such conjugates or rapidly degradable masking groups allow for the intracellular release of the polymer from the glycoprotein, for example, under conditions found in lysosomes.
本文描述了制备治疗性糖蛋白的配体修饰聚合物共轭物的方法。通过使用高分子量聚合物(例如PEG、多唾液酸等)来掩盖天然糖类和其他表面决定因子,并将其装饰上靶向特定组织的配体,从而实现了对糖蛋白的改进靶向。在某些实施例中,这种共轭物中的酸敏感连接或快速可降解的掩蔽基团允许在溶酶体中发现的条件下从糖蛋白中释放聚合物。
