Abstract

The present invention relates to compounds of Formula I:

Claims (103)

1. A compound selected from:

wherein R 1 is —C(O)OC(R 4 )(R 5 )—OC(O)(G 12 ) m R 6 ;

R 4 and R 5 are from hydrogen;

G 12 is selected from absent, NH, CH 2 , —S— or —O—;

m is 0 or 1;

R 6 is selected from C 13 -C 26 -alkyl, substituted C 13 -C 26 -alkyl, C 13 -C 26 -alkenyl, substituted C 13 -C 26 -alkenyl, C 13 -C 26 -alkynyl, substituted C 13 -C 26 -alkynyl, C 13 -C 26 -cycloalkyl, and substituted C 13 -C 26 -cycloalkyl.

2. A compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 6 is selected from C 13 -C 25 -alkyl, and substituted C 13 -C 25 -alkyl.

3. A compound according to claim 1 , wherein R 6 is selected from C 17 -C 21 -alkyl, and substituted C 17 -C 21 -alkyl.

4. A method for sustained delivery of a secondary amine-containing parent drug to a patient comprising administering a compound according to claim 1 .

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the parent drug is present in the blood stream of the patient for at least 12 hours.

6. An injectable depot formulation comprising a compound according to claim 1 .

7. The injectable depot formulation of claim 6 , wherein said compound is released over a period of more than one week.
