Synthesis,self‐assembly and recognition properties of biomimetic star‐shaped poly(ε‐caprolactone)‐b‐glycopolymer block copolymers

Biomimetic star‐shaped poly(ε‐caprolactone)‐b‐poly(gluconamidoethyl methacrylate) block copolymers (SPCL‐PGAMA) were synthesized from the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of unprotected GAMA glycomonomer using a tetra(2‐bromo‐2‐methylpropionyl)‐terminated star‐shaped poly(ε‐caprolactone) (SPCL‐Br) as a macroinitiator in NMP solution at room temperature. The block length of PGAMA glycopolymer within as‐synthesized SPCL‐PGAMA copolymers could be adjusted linearly by controlling the molar ratio of GAMA glycomonomer to SPCL‐Br macroinitiator, and the molecular weight distribution was reasonably narrow. The degree of crystallization of PCL block within copolymers decreased with the increasing block length ratio of outer PGAMA to inner PCL. Moreover, the self‐assembly properties of the SPCL‐PGAMA copolymers were investigated by NMR, UV‐vis, DLS, and TEM, respectively. The self‐assembled glucose‐installed aggregates changed from spherical micelles to worm‐like aggregates, then to vesicles with the decreasing weight fraction of hydrophilic PGAMA block. Furthermore, the biomolecular binding of SPCL‐PGAMA with Concanavalin A (Con A) was studied by means of UV‐vis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and DLS, which demonstrated that these SPCL‐PGAMA copolymers had specific recognition with Con A. Consequently, this will not only provide biomimetic star‐shaped SPCL‐PGAMA block copolymers for targeted drug delivery, but also improve the compatibility and drug release properties of PCL‐based biomaterials for hydrophilic peptide drugs. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and properties of monocleavable amphiphilic comblike copolymers with alternating PEG and PCL grafts

Symmetric reduction‐responsive amphiphilic comblike copolymers mid‐disulfide‐functionalized comblike copolymers with alternating copolymer comprised of styrenic unit and N‐(2‐hydroxyethyl) maleimide (HEMI) unit (poly(St‐alt‐HEMI)) backbones and alternating PEG and PCL side chains (S‐CP(PEG‐alt‐PCL)) with poly(St‐alt‐HEMI) backbones and alternating poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) side chains were synthesized and used as nanocarriers for in vitro release of doxorubicin. The target copolymers with predetermined molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution (M_w/M_n = 1.15–1.20) were synthesized by reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization of vinylbenzyl‐terminated PEG and N‐(2‐hydroxyethyl) maleimide mediated by a disulfide‐functionalized RAFT agent S‐CPDB, and followed by ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone. When compared with linear block copolymer comprised of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(?‐caprolactone) (PCL) segments (PEG‐b‐PCL) copolymers, comblike copolymers with similar PCL contents usually exhibited decreased crystallization temperature, melting temperature, and degree of crystallinity, indicating the significant influence of copolymer architecture on physicochemical properties. Dynamic light scattering measurements revealed that comblike copolymers were liable to self‐assemble into aggregates involving vesicles and micelles with average diameter in the range of 56–226 nm and particle size distribution ranging between 0.07 and 0.20. In contrast to linear copolymer aggregates, comblike copolymer aggregates with similar compositions were of improved storage stability and enhanced drug‐loading efficiency. In vitro drug release confirmed the disulfide‐linked comblike copolymer aggregates could rapidly release the encapsulated drug when triggered by 10 mM DL ‐dithiothreitol. These reduction‐sensitive, biocompatible, and biodegradable aggregates have a potential as controlled delivery vehicles. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2012     

Synthesis,characterization, and micellization of PCL‐g‐PEG copolymers by combination of ROP and “Click” chemistry via “Graft onto” method

Biodegradable and biocompatible PCL‐g‐PEG amphiphilic graft copolymers were prepared by combination of ROP and “click” chemistry via “graft onto” method under mild conditions. First, chloro‐functionalized poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL‐Cl) was synthesized by the ring‐opening copolymerization of ε‐caprolactone (CL) and α‐chloro‐ε‐caprolactone (CCL) employing scandium triflate as high‐efficient catalyst with near 100% monomer conversion. Second, the chloro groups of PCL‐Cl were quantitatively converted into azide form by NaN₃. Finally, copper(I)‐catalyzed cycloaddition reaction was carried out between azide‐functionalized PCL (PCL‐N₃) and alkyne‐terminated poly(ethylene glycol) (A‐PEG) to give PCL‐g‐PEG amphiphilic graft copolymers. The composition and the graft architecture of the copolymers were characterized by ¹H NMR, FTIR, and GPC analyses. These amphiphilic graft copolymers could self‐assemble into sphere‐like aggregates in aqueous solution with diverse diameters, which decreased with the increasing of grafting density. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of novel resorcinarene‐centered amphiphilic star‐block copolymers consisting of eight ABA triblock arms by combination of ROP,ATRP, and click chemistry

Novel amphiphilic eight‐arm star triblock copolymers, star poly(ε‐caprolactone)‐block‐poly(acrylic acid)‐block‐poly(ε‐caprolactone)s (SPCL‐PAA‐PCL) with resorcinarene as core moiety were prepared by combination of ROP, ATRP, and “click” reaction strategy. First, the hydroxyl end groups of the predefined eight‐arm SPCLs synthesized by ROP were converted to 2‐bromoesters which permitted ATRP of tert‐butyl acrylate (tBA) to form star diblock copolymers: SPCL‐PtBA. Next, the bromide end groups of SPCL‐PtBA were quantitatively converted to terminal azides by NaN₃, which were combined with presynthesized alkyne‐terminated poly(ε‐caprolactone) (A‐PCL) in the presence of Cu(I)/N,N,N′,N″,N″‐pentamethyldiethylenetriamine in DMF to give the star triblock copolymers: SPCL‐PtBA‐PCL. ¹H NMR, FTIR, and SEC analyses confirmed the expected star triblock architecture. The hydrolysis of tert‐butyl ester groups of the poly(tert‐butyl acrylate) blocks gave the amphiphilic star triblock copolymers: SPCL‐PAA‐PCL. These amphiphilic star triblock copolymers could self‐assemble into spherical micelles in aqueous solution with the particle size ranging from 20 to 60 nm. Their micellization behaviors were characterized by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of novel biodegradable folate conjugated polyurethanes

In order to obtain targeting polyurethane micelle drug carriers, a series of biodegradable folate conjugated polyurethanes (FPUs) were synthesized using poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) as soft segments, L-lysine ethyl ester diisocyanate (LDI) and 1,3-propanediol (PDO) as hard segments, and folic acid-ethylenediamine conjugate (FA-EDA) as an end-capping reagent. The resultant FPUs were fully characterized by (1)H NMR, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectrophotometry (UV), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). These polymers can self-assemble into micelles in aqueous solutions confirmed by dynamic light scattering (DLS), pyrene fluorescence probe techniques, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicated that the bulk structures and micellar properties of the prepared polyurethanes could be controlled by varying the PEG content in the soft segments. The present work provides a facile approach to prepare amphiphilic multiblock copolymers with tumor targeting moiety, which is a good candidate as biodegradable carriers for active intracellular drug delivery.     

Synthesis,self‐assembly and drug‐loading capacity of well‐defined drug‐conjugated amphiphilic A2B2 type miktoarm star copolymers based on poly(ε‐caprolactone) and poly(ethylene glycol)

Well‐defined drug‐conjugated amphiphilic A₂B₂ miktoarm star copolymers [(PCL)₂‐(PEG)₂‐D] were prepared by the combination of controlled ring‐opening polymerization (CROP) and “click” reaction strategy. First, bromide functionalized poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL‐Br) with double hydroxyl end groups was synthesized by the CROP of ε‐caprolactone using 2,2‐bis(bromomethyl)propane‐1,3‐diol as a difunctional initiator in the presence of Sn(Oct)₂ at 110 °C. Next, the bromide groups of PCL‐Br were quantitatively converted to azide form by NaN₃ to give PCL‐N₃. Subsequently, the end hydroxyl groups of PCL‐N₃ were capped with ibuprofen as a model drug at room temperature. Finally, copper(I)‐catalyzed cycloaddition reaction between ibuprofen‐conjugated PCL‐N₃ and slightly excess alkyne‐terminated poly(ethylene glycol) (A‐PEG) led to ibuprofen‐conjugated A₂B₂ miktoarm star copolymer [(PCL)₂‐(PEG)₂‐D]. The excess A‐PEG was removed by dialysis. ¹H NMR, FTIR and SEC analyzes confirmed the expected miktoarm star architecture. These amphiphilic miktoarm star copolymers could self‐assemble into multimorphological aggregates in aqueous solution, which were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In addition, the drug‐loading capacity of these drug‐conjugated miktoarm star copolymers as well as their nondrug‐conjugated analogs were also investigated in detail. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and Characterization of Biodegradable Poly(ϵ-caprolactone)-b-Poly(L-lactide) and Study on Their Electrospun Scaffolds

A series of multi-block copolymers, poly(L-lactide)-b-poly (?-caprolactone) (PLLA-b-PCL) were synthesized. The first step of the synthesis consisted of the transesterification between the PLLA and 1,4-Butanediol, followed by the copolymerization of PLLA-diols and PCL, using isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) as a coupling agent. The synthesized polymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). PLLA/PCL block copolymers were electrospun into ultrafine fibers. The morphology of the electrospun fibrous scaffolds were investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Results showed that the morphology and diameter of the fibers were affected by the electrospinning solution concentrationan and different weight ratio of PLLA/PCL. These electrospun PLLA-b-PCL fibrous membranes exhibited good flexibility and deformability. In comparison with the electrospun PLLA membrane, the electrospun fibrous membranes of PLLA-b-PCL demonstrated an enhanced elongation with still high tensile strength and Young's modulus to be beneficial for tissue engineering scaffolds.     

Synthesis and self‐assembly of well‐defined cyclodextrin‐centered amphiphilic A14B7 multimiktoarm star copolymers based on poly(ε‐caprolactone) and poly(acrylic acid)

Novel amphiphilic A₁₄B₇ multimiktoarm star copolymers composed of 14 poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) arms and 7 poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) arms with β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) as core moiety were synthesized by the combination of controlled ring‐opening polymerization (CROP) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). 14‐Arm star PCL homopolymers (CDSi‐SPCL) were first synthesized by the CROP of CL using per‐6‐(tert‐butyldimethylsilyl)‐β‐CD as the multifunctional initiator in the presence of Sn(Oct)₂ at 125 °C. Subsequently, the hydroxyl end groups of CDSi‐SPCL were blocked by acetyl chloride. After desilylation of the tert‐butyldimethylsilyl ether groups from the β‐CD core, 7 ATRP initiating sites were introduced by treating with 2‐bromoisobutyryl bromide, which further initiated ATRP of tert‐butyl acrylate (tBA) to prepare well‐defined A₁₄B₇ multimiktoarm star copolymers [CDS(PCL‐PtBA)]. Their molecular structures and physical properties were in detail characterized by ¹H NMR, SEC‐MALLS, and DSC. The selective hydrolysis of tert‐butyl ester groups of the PtBA block gave the amphiphilic A₁₄B₇ multimiktoarm star copolymers [CDS(PCL‐PAA)]. These amphiphilic copolymers could self‐assemble into multimorphological aggregates in aqueous solution, which were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
