The present invention relates to conjugates of water-soluble polymers and
o(chloracetyl-carbamoyl) fumagillol (TNP-470) and use of those conjugates
as specific intracellular carriers of the TNP-470 into tumor vessels. The
present invention further relates to use of those conjugates to lower the
neurotoxicity of TNP-470. Preferably, the polymer has a molecular weight
in the range of 100 Da to 800 kDa. More preferably, the polymer has a
molecular weight no greater than 60 kDa. Most preferably, the polymer has
a molecular weight in the range of 15 kDa to 40 kDa.
