Abstract
In accordance with the present invention, there are provided conjugates of a combination of pharmacologically active agents (e.g., NSAIDs and selective COX-2 inhibitors). Invention conjugates provide a new class of pharmacologically active agents (e.g., anti-inflammatory agents) which provide the therapeutic benefits of both NSAIDs and selective COX-2 inhibitors, while causing a much lower incidence of side-effects then are typically observed with such agents due to the protective effects imparted by modifying the pharmacologically active agents as described herein.
