Processes for precipitating polymers from a polymer-containing solution are disclosed.

A drug-polymer conjugate having thermoresponsiveness includes at least one drug conjugated to at least one end portion of at least one thermoresponsive polymer segment having a lower critical solution temperature. The drug-polymer conjugate is capable of forming a micellular aggregate in an aqueous medium at temperatures equal to or above the lower critical solution temperature. The drug-polymer conjugate or the micellular aggregate thereof may be administered to and absorbed in the lungs.

The disclosure relates to the technical field of medicine, specifically to a polyethylene glycol conjugated drug, a preparation method therefor and use thereof, and relates in particular to a polyethylene glycol conjugated drug represented by formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The disclosure further relates to a method for preparation of the polyethylene glycol conjugated drug or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the polyethylene glycol conjugated drug or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and use of the polyethylene glycol conjugated drug or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in preparation of a medicament.
