ABSTRACT:

TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention pertains generally to valency molecules. The invention also relates to the field of valency platform molecules which act as scaffolds to which one or more molecules may be covalently tethered to form a conjugate. More particularly, the present invention pertains to valency molecules which comprise a carbamate linkage (i.e., —O—C(═O)—N<). In one aspect, the present invention pertains to valency platforms comprising carbamate linkages, which molecules have the structure of any one of Formulae I, II, or III, shown in FIG.

. In one aspect, the present invention pertains to valency platforms comprising carbamate linkages, which molecules have the structure of any one of Formulae IV, V, or VI, shown in FIG.

. The present invention also pertains to methods of preparing such valency molecules, conjugates comprising such valency molecules, and methods of preparing such conjugates.
BACKGROUND
A “valency platform” is a molecule with one or more (and typically multiple) attachment sites which can be used to covalently attach biologically active molecules of interest to a common scaffold. The attachment of biologically active molecules to a common scaffold provides multivalent conjugates in which multiple copies of the biologically active molecule are covalently linked to the same platform. A “defined” or “chemically defined” valency platform is a platform with defined structure, thus a defined number of attachment points and a defined valency. A defined valency platform conjugate is a conjugate with defined structure and has a defined number of attached biologically active compounds. Examples of biologically active molecules include oligonucleotides, peptides, polypeptides, proteins, antibodies, saccharides, polysaccharides, epitopes, mimotopes, drugs, and the like. In general, biologically active compounds interact specifically with proteinaceous receptors.
Certain classes of chemically defined valency platforms, methods for their preparation, conjugates comprising them, and methods for the preparation of such conjugates, have been described in the U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,162,515; 5,391,785; 5,276,013; 5,786,512; 5,726,329; 5,268,454; 5,552,391; 5,606,047; and 5,663,395.
The valency platforms of the present invention reflect a new class of valency platforms which comprise a carbamate linkage, as shown, for example, in Formulae I, II, and III in FIG.

and in Formulae IV, V, and VI in FIG.
