This object is achieved by a polymeric prodrug or release. Similarly, vinblastine conjugates bearing an oli pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof comprising a drug gopeptide were described (Brady et al., J. Med. Chem. 45 linker conjugate D-L, wherein (2002) 4706-4715). Here, an octapeptide was attached by an 0050 D is an aliphatic amine containing biologically ester linkage to the 4-hydroxyl group of vinblastine and found active moiety; and to undergo ester bond cleavage by DKP formation after spe 0051 L is a non-biologically active linker containing cific enzymatic removal of the N-terminal hexapeptide. I0052 i) a moiety L' represented by formula (I), 0044 Recently the scope of the DKP formation reaction was extended to amide prodrugs. U.S. Pat. No. 5,952.294 details prodrug activation using diketopiperazine formation (I) for dipeptidyl amide prodrugs of cytarabine. In this case, the temporary linkage was formed between the carbonyl of a dipeptide and the aromatic amino group of cytarabine. In another study, the utility of diketopiperazine activation was demonstrated for even more stable aliphatic amide prodrugs (G. A. R. Y Suaifan et al., Tetrahedron 62 (2006) 11245 11266). Neither of these studies teaches how a slow-release effect can be achieved for Such conjugates as there is no carrier or other half-life extending moiety or functionality present in the compounds disclosed. 0045 WO-A 2009/99763 describes dipeptide prodrugs of bioactive peptides such as GLP-1 capable of releasing the 0053 wherein the dashed line indicates the attachment peptide through diketopiperazine formation of the dipeptidic of L' to an aliphatic amino group of D by forming an extension.

It was now surprisingly found, that aliphatic amide bonds can undergo autohydrolysis at a rate that is useful for carrier-linked prodrug applications if cyclization-activation is used as a prodrug principle. In particular detail, it was Surprisingly found that diketopiperazine formation can be NH used for carrier-linked amide prodrugs. Specifically, the link ers used in these carrier-linked amide prodrugs are designed Such that they consist of a carrier permanently attached to a dipeptide motif in Such a fashion that diketopiperazine-for mation can still be employed as a self-activation principle. Suprisingly, in these linker structures, the presence of the carrier entity still allows for therapeutically useful autohy drolysis rates, an essential prerequisite for prodrug applica tions. 0071.
