The present invention relates to novel dendrimer conjugates, methods for their preparation and their use for treatment of diseases. The invention discloses a new method for the delivery of dendrimer conjugates with therapeutically active molecules into the cell by utilizing transmembrane solute carrier proteins enabling uptake of the inventive dendrimer conjugates. Particular subject-matter of the present invention is a conjugate of the formula E-[G-L-D(OSO.sub.3.sup.−M.sup.+).sub.n].sub.m, wherein E is a therapeutic or diagnostic effector molecule, wherein D(OSO.sub.3.sup.−M.sup.+).sub.n is a dendrimer D carrying a number n of sulfate groups OSO.sub.3.sup.−M.sup.+, wherein the number n of sulfate groups is selected from 6 to 96, wherein M is a cationic inorganic or organic counter ion to the anionic sulfate group, wherein L is a linker or spacer between D and E, wherein G is a connecting functional group forming the attachment between L and E, and wherein m is an integer from 1 to 20.

Provided herein are dendrimers comprising: a core unit, five generations of building units which are lysine residues or analogues thereof, first terminal groups comprising a cabazitazel residue covalently attached to a diglycolyl linker group, and second terminal groups comprising a PEG group. Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the dendrimers, and methods and uses of the dendrimers in therapy of disorders such as cancers. Processes for making the dendrimers and intermediates are also provided.

A macromolecule includes i) a dendrimer comprising a core and at least one generation of building units, the outermost generation of building units having surface amino groups wherein at least two different terminal groups are covalently attached to the surface amino groups of the dendrimer, ii) a first terminal group which is a residue of a pharmaceutically active agent comprising a hydroxyl group, and iii) a second terminal group which is a pharmacokinetic modifying agent. The pharmaceutically active agent is cabazitaxel. The first terminal group is covalently attached to the surface amino group of the dendrimer through a diacid linker, the diacid linker comprising an alkyl chain interrupted by one or more oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen atoms, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Simple organic structures, organic/inorganic polymers, and other substrates have been made, all of which have at least one pyrrolidone moiety present, and found to exhibit low toxicity, low complement activation features and may be used to reduce protein interactions with drug conjugates while enhancing in vivo residency times for these conjugates when used as an injectable composition; thus these compounds can be used as substitutes for PEG in PEGylation. Surprisingly, these compounds also exhibit unique intrinsic fluorescence (IF) or non-traditional fluorescence (NTF) properties that currently cannot be explained by traditional photochemistry and fluorescence paradigms are described. These compounds have a variety of applications such as in cellular imaging, gene transfection, bio-diagnostics, biosensing, fluorescence directed surgical resections, drug delivery, forensics, environmental diagnostics, mineral/gemstone characterization, counterfeit goods detection, tracer studies related to liquid/water flow, oil field enhancements and diagnostics, prevention of photo-bleaching, and LED display enhancements and others.
