The present invention relates to a process for forming polymer conjugates
which are useful as enzyme inhibitors. The process of the present
invention comprises the steps of:
a) reacting a polymer or copolymer alcohol to form a chloroformate;
b) combining a substituted or unsubstituted anthranilic acid comprising an
enzyme interaction attenuating unit; and a base catalyst wherein the base
catalyst is a supported base catalyst, to form a substrate reactive
admixture; and
c) adding to said chloroformate formed in step (a) said substrate reactive
admixture formed in step (b) to form a benzoxazin-4-one conjugate.
