The present invention relates to a conjugate of hydrophilic
polymer-multicarboxyl oligopeptide and drug molecule of the following
formula: ##STR00001## wherein: P is a hydrophilic polymer; m is an
integer of 2.about.12; j is an integer of 1.about.6; R.sub.i is a group
selected from H, C.sub.1-12 alkyl, substituted aryl, aralkyl, heteroalkyl
and substituted alkyl; X and Z are linking groups; and TA is drug
molecule. The conjugate has low toxicity and an ability to carry more
than one drug molecule to improve solubility, sustain and control drug
release, and has a remarkably enhancing effect especially to antitumor
drug such as paclitaxel and camptothecin etc.
