Ring-opening polymerization of L-lactic acid O-carboxyanhydrides initiated by alkoxy rare earth compounds.
The ring-opening polymerization of L-lactic acid O-carboxyanhydrides was initiated by triisopropoxyneodymium in toluene-THF mixtures. Typically, high yields and relatively high molecular weight PLAs were obtained within 4 h at 25 °C. The reaction was highly controllable and easy to conduct, and the molecular weight distribution of the PLAs was rather narrow (Mw/Mn = 1.10-1.36). NMR analysis sho...
متن کاملDrug-initiated ring-opening polymerization of O-carboxyanhydrides for the preparation of anticancer drug-poly(O-carboxyanhydride) nanoconjugates.
We report a novel synthetic strategy of polymer-drug conjugates for nanoparticulate drug delivery: hydroxyl-containing drug (e.g., camptothecin, paclitaxel, doxorubicin and docetaxel) can initiate controlled polymerization of phenyl O-carboxyanhydride (Phe-OCA) to afford drug-poly(Phe-OCA) conjugated nanoparticles, termed drug-PheLA nanoconjugates (NCs). Our new NCs have well-controlled physico...
متن کاملSynthesis and biomedical applications of functional poly(α-hydroxy acids) via ring-opening polymerization of O-carboxyanhydrides.
Poly(α-hydroxy acids) (PAHAs) are a class of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers that are widely used in numerous applications. One drawback of these conventional polymers, however, is their lack of side-chain functionalities, which makes it difficult to conjugate active moieties to PAHA or to fine-tune the physical and chemical properties of PAHA-derived materials through side-chain modif...
متن کاملSynthesis of water-soluble poly(α-hydroxy acids) from living ring-opening polymerization of O-benzyl-L-serine carboxyanhydrides.
O-benzyl-L-serine carboxyanhydrides were synthesized via diazotization of O-benzyl-L-serine with sodium nitrite in aqueous sulfuric acid solution followed by cyclization of the resulting serine-based α-hydroxy acid with phosgene. Degradable, water-soluble poly(α-hydroxy acids) bearing pendant hydroxyl groups were readily prepared under mild conditions via ring-opening polymerization of O-benzyl...
متن کاملSynthesis of polypeptides by ring-opening polymerization of α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides.
This chapter summarizes methods for the synthesis of polypeptides by ring-opening polymerization. Traditional and recently improved methods used to polymerize α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs) for the synthesis of homopolypeptides are described. Use of these methods and strategies for the preparation of block copolypeptides and side-chain-functionalized polypeptides are also presented, as...
