Compositions for intravenous administration and methods for treating bone diseases, disorders, and fractures comprising macromolecular prodrugs of hydrophobic bone anabolic agents are provided. Specifically, novel macromolecular amphiphilic prodrugs wherein at least three molecules of simvastatin are conjugated to polyethylene glycol, which spontaneously form micelles in aqueous solutions are provided.

Simvastatin is used to modulate VSV infection at the level of viral replication. Both lipid-lowering and pleiotropic cellular effects of simvastatin are exploited in the modulation. Simvastatin upregulates the expression of Rae1 and Nup98, therefore altering normal cellular mRNA distribution and reverting VSV's mRNA export block. Furthermore, simvastatin causes redistribution of Flotillin-1, which affects VSV replication/budding. Simvastatin is further used as a neoadjuvant for the selective mod...
