Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a block copolymer useful for the production of a water- soluble polymeric carcinostatic agent by removing protecting group from a block copolymer having a hydrophilic polymer structure and an optically active poly-alpha-amino acid structure protected with a protecting group. CONSTITUTION:The objective block copolymer having an optically active poly-alpha- amino acid structure part (preferably poly-alpha-aspartic acid or poly-alpha-glutamic acid), preferably a block copolymer of formula (R1 is lower alkyl; R2 is bonding group; (n) is 5-1,000; (m) is integer of 1-300) is produced from a block copolymer having a hydrophilic polymer structure and an optically active poly-alpha-amino acid structure having COOH protected with a protecting group (preferably in the form of ester) by removing the protecting group with an acid. A water- soluble polymeric carcinostatic agent is produced by bonding a carcinostatic substance (e.g. adriamycin) to the side chain of the polyaspartic acid structure part of the block copolymer.
