To provide biologically active compounds that is reacted with a polymer, such as albumin, to form covalent linked complexes wherein the resulting complexes exhibit a desired biological activity in vivo.
The complexes are produced by conjugating a biologically active moiety, for example, a renin inhibitor or a viral fusion inhibitor peptide, with purified and isolated protein. The complexes have extended lifetimes in the bloodstream as compared to the unconjugated molecule, and exhibit biological activity for extended periods of time as compared to the unconjugated molecule. The complexes are inhibitors of viral infection and/or exhibit anti-fusion characteristic. In particular, the compounds have inhibiting activity against viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human parainfluenza virus (HPV), measles virus (MeV), and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and have extended duration of action for the treatment of viral infections.
