Abstract: Methods for preparing water soluble, non-peptidic polymers carrying carboxyl functional groups, particularly carboxylic acid functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymers, are disclosed, as are the products of these methods.  In general, an ester reagent R(C=O)OR', where R' is a tertiary group and R  comprises a functional group X, is reacted with a water soluble, non-peptidic polymer POLY-Y, where Y is a functional group which reacts with X to form a covalent bond, to form a tertiary ester of the polymer, which is then treated with a strong base in aqueous solution, to form a carboxylate salt of the polymer. Typically, this carboxylate salt is then treated with an inorganic acid in aqueous solution, to convert the carboxylate salt to a carboxylic acid, thereby forming a carboxylic acid functionalized polymer.

Title: Increasing atp availability by inhibition of creatine kinase (ck) leakage resulting from high-intensity exercise
Inventor: CHAUDHURI SHAN
IPC: A61P21/00
Filed: 2006-08-30
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of increasing Adenosine Triphosphate levels in a mammal wherein 2-(carbamimidoyl-methyl-amino) ethoxyphosphonic acid ihhibits the leakage of the Adenosine Triphosphate-dependant enzyme Creatine Kinase.
