Title:Spacer moiety for poly(ethylene glycol) modified peptide based compounds
Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound comprising a peptide moiety, a spacer moiety and a water-soluble polymer moiety such as a poly(ethylene glycol) moiety. The spacer moiety is between the peptide moiety and the water-soluble polymer moiety. The spacer moiety has the structure: --NH--(CH.sub.2).sub..alpha.--[O--(CH.sub.2).sub..beta.].sub..gamma.--O.s- ub..delta.--(CH.sub.2).sub..epsilon.--Y-- wherein .alpha., .beta., .gamma., .delta., and .epsilon. are each integers whose values are independently selected.

3. The compound of claim 1, wherein the peptide moiety comprises two peptide monomers linked by a linker moiety.

4. The compound of claim 1, wherein the peptide moiety comprises one or more peptides which bind to thrombopoietin-receptors.

5. A pharmaceutical composition comprising (a) a compound comprising a peptide moiety, a spacer moiety and a water-soluble polymer moiety; and (b) one or more pharmaceutically acceptable diluents, preservatives, solubilizers, emulsifiers, adjuvants or carriers wherein: the peptide moiety comprises at least one peptide monomer, the spacer moiety is between the peptide moiety and the water-soluble polymer moiety and has the structure: --NH--(CH.sub.2).sub..alpha.--[O--(CH.sub.2).sub..beta.].sub..gamma.--O.s- ub..delta.--(CH.sub.2).sub..epsilon.--Y-- .alpha. is an integer, 1.ltoreq..alpha..ltoreq.6; .beta. is an integer, 1.ltoreq..beta..ltoreq.6; .epsilon. is an integer, 1.ltoreq..epsilon..ltoreq.6; .delta. is 0 or 1; .gamma. is an integer, 0.ltoreq..gamma..ltoreq.10; and Y is either NH or CO.

6. The composition of claim 5, wherein the peptide moiety is peptide monomer comprising a single peptide.

7. The composition of claim 5, wherein the peptide moiety comprises two peptide monomers linked by a linker moiety.

8. The composition of claim 5, wherein the peptide moiety comprises one or more peptides which bind to thrombopoietin-receptors.

9. The compound according to claim 3, wherein the linker moiety has the structure ##STR00005## N of the linker moiety is covalently attached to Y of the spacer moiety, Y of the spacer moiety is CO, and .eta. and .phi. are integers whose values are independently selected.

10. The composition according to claim 7, wherein the linker moiety has the structure ##STR00006## N of the linker moiety is covalently attached to Y of the spacer moiety, Y of the spacer moiety is CO, and .eta. and .phi. are integers whose values are independently selected.
