Claims (42)

1. A compound having the formula (XV):

wherein

L 1 and L 2 are both a bond;

each R 1 and R 2 are independently alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl, each of which is optionally substituted with one or more substituents;

X is —C(O)NH—, C(S)NH, —C(O)—C 1-3 alkyl-C(O)NH—, or —C(O)—C 1-3 alkyl-C(O)O—;

m is an integer from 0-11; and

n is an integer from 1-500.

2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 1 and R 2 are independently unsubstituted C 6 -C 28 alkyl.

3. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 1 and R 2 are independently unsubstituted C 10 -C 18 alkyl.

4. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the substituents for R 1 and R 2 are selected from alkyl, cycloalkyl, haloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, arylalkyl, heteroarylalkyl, heterocyclyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocycloalkenyl, alkoxy, haloalkoxy, halo, hydroxy, carboxy, carboxylate, cyano, nitro, amino, alkyl amino, SO 3 H, sulfate, phosphate, methylenedioxy (—O—CH 2 —O— wherein oxygens are attached to same carbon (geminal substitution) atoms), ethylenedioxy, oxo, thioxo, imino, S(O) n alkyl (where n of S(O) n alkyl is 0-2), S(O) n aryl (where n of S(O), n aryl is 0-2), S(O) n heteroaryl (where n of S(O) n heteroaryl is 0-2), S(O) n heterocyclyl (where n of S(O) n heterocyclyl is 0-2), amine, ester, amide, and sulfonamide.

5. A compound having the formula

wherein

L 1 and L 2 are both a bond;

each R 1 and R 2 are independently alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl; each of which is optionally substituted with one or more substituents;

m is an integer from 0-11 and

n is an integer from 1-500.

6. The compound of claim 5 , wherein the substituents for R 1 and R 2 are selected from alkyl, cycloalkyl, haloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, arylalkyl, heteroarylalkyl, heterocyclyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocycloalkenyl, alkoxy, haloalkoxy, halo, hydroxy, carboxy, carboxylate, cyano, nitro, amino, alkyl amino, SO 3 H, sulfate, phosphate, methylenedioxy (—O—CH 2 —O— wherein oxygens are attached to same carbon (geminal substitution) atoms), ethylenedioxy, oxo, thioxo, imino, S(O) n alkyl (where n of S(O) n alkyl is 0-2), S(O) n aryl (where n of S(O) n aryl is 0-2), S(O) n heteroaryl (where n of S(O) n heteroaryl is 0-2), S(O) n heterocyclyl (where n of S(O) n heterocyclyl is 0-2), amine, ester, amide, and sulfonamide.
