Block Copolypeptides Prepared by N‐Carboxyanhydride Ring‐Opening Polymerization

N‐Carboxyanhydride ring‐opening polymerization (NCA ROP) is a synthetically straightforward methodology to generate homopolypeptides. Extensive control over the polymerization permits the production of highly monodisperse synthetic polypeptides to a targeted molecular weight in the absence of unfavorable side reactions. Sequential NCA ROP permits the creation of block copolypeptides composed of individual polypeptide blocks boasting different functionalities, secondary structures, and desirable chemical properties. Consequently, a plethora of novel materials have been generated that have found wide‐range applicability. This review offers an insight into contemporary synthetic approaches toward NCA ROP before highlighting a number of block copolypeptide architectures generated.

One‐pot synthesis of block copolymers by ring‐opening polymerization and ultraviolet light‐induced ATRP at ambient temperature

We successfully synthesized poly(l ‐lactide)‐b‐poly (methyl methacrylate) diblock copolymers at ambient temperature by combining ultraviolet light‐induced copper‐catalyzed ATRP and organo‐catalyzed ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) in one‐pot. The polymerization processes were carried out by three routes: one‐pot simultaneous ATRP and ROP, one‐pot sequential ATRP followed by ROP, and one‐pot sequential ROP followed by ATRP. The structure of the block copolymers is confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance and gel permeation chromatography, which suggests that the polymerization method is facile and attractive for preparing block copolymers. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Peptide block copolymers by N‐carboxyanhydride ring‐opening polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization: The effect of amide macroinitiators

The synthesis of polypeptide‐containing block copolymers combining N‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) ring‐opening polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was investigated. An amide initiator comprising an amine function for the NCA polymerization and an activated bromide for ATRP was used. Well‐defined polypeptide macroinitiators were obtained from γ‐benzyl‐L ‐glutamate NCA, O‐benzyl‐serine NCA, and N‐benzyloxy‐L ‐lysine. Subsequent ATRP macroinitiation from the polypeptides resulted in higher than expected molecular weights. Analysis of the reaction products and model reactions confirmed that this is due to the high frequency of termination reactions by disproportionation in the initial phase of the ATRP, which is inherent in the amide initiator structure. In some cases selective precipitation could be applied to remove unreacted macroinitiator to yield well‐defined block copolymers. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of well-defined ABC triblock copolymers with polypeptide segments by ATRP and click reactions

Well-defined ABC block copolymers consisting of poly(ethylene oxide) monomethylene ether (MPEO) as A block, poly(styrene) (PS) as B block and poly(γ-benzyl-l-glutamate) (PBLG) as C block were synthesized by the combination of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and click reactions. The bromine-terminated diblock copolymer poly(ethylene oxide) monomethylene ether-block-poly(styrene) (MPEO-PS-Br) was prepared by ATRP of styrene initiated with macro-initiator MPEO-Br, which was prepared from the esterification of MPEO and 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide, and converted into the azido-terminated diblock copolymer MPEO-PS-N₃ by simple nucleophilic substitutions in DMF in the presence of sodium azide. Propargyl-terminated PBLGs were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of γ-benzyl-l-glutamate-N-carboxyanhydride in DMF at room temperature using propargyl amine as an initiator. ABC triblock copolymers MPEO-PS-PBLG with a wide range of number-average molecular weights from 1.55 to 3.75 × 10⁴ and a narrow polydispersity from 1.07 to 1.10 were synthesized via the click reaction of MPEO-PS-N₃ and the propargyl-terminated PBLG in the presence of CuBr and 1,1,4,7,7-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA) catalyst system. The structures of these ABC block copolymers and corresponding precursors were characterized by NMR, IR and GPC. The results showed that click reaction was efficient. Therefore, a facile approach was offered to synthesize ABC triblock copolymers composed of crystallizable polymer MPEO, conventional vinylic polymer PS and rod-like α-helix polypeptide PBLG.     

Tuning the conformation of synthetic co‐polypeptides of serine and glutamic acid through control over polymer composition

Ring opening polymerization (ROP) of N‐carboxy anhydride (NCA) amino acids presents a rapid way to synthesize high molecular weight polypeptides with different amino acid compositions. The compositional and functional versatility of polypeptides make these materials an attractive choice for biomaterials. The functional performance of polypeptide materials is equally linked to their conformation which is determined by the amino acid sequence in the polymer chains. Here, the interplay between composition and conformation of synthetic polypeptides obtained by NCA polymerization was explored. Various copolypeptides from Glu(Bzl) and Ser(Bzl) were prepared to investigate how polypeptide composition affected the conformation of the resulting copolymer. Polymerization kinetics indicated that the copolymerization of Glu(Bzl) and Ser(Bzl) preferentially yielded alternating copolymers. Both the polydispersity and the conformation of the polypeptides were dependent on the Ser(Bzl) content in the polymer, demonstrating that polypeptide functionalities could be tuned directly by altering the relative amounts of amino acids in the chain. This work presents the first step toward an improved understanding and control over polypeptide conformation through modulating the amino acid composition of the material. Understanding this sequence–functionality relationship is essential to advancing the use of ROP as a technique to design smart polypeptide based materials with specific functions. © 2016 The Authors.

Molecular Bottlebrushes with Polypeptide Backbone Prepared via Ring‐Opening Polymerization of NCA and ATRP

A new type of molecular bottlebrush with poly‐L ‐lysine (PLL) as backbone was synthesized via ROP followed by ATRP. A Nϵ‐bromoisobutyryl functionalized Nα‐CBZ‐L ‐lysine was firstly synthesized and converted in polymerizable α‐amino acid N‐carboxyanhydride (NCA), which was then polymerized using Ni(0) transition metal complex to give well‐defined bromo‐functionalized homopolypeptide (PBrLL), from which we prepared two types of polypeptide bottlebrushes with polystyrene and poly(oligoethylene glycol methacrylate) as side‐chains. PBrLL macroinitiator was demonstrated to have high initiation efficiency for ATRP, which allowed good control over side‐chain length. CD and FTIR characterization revealed that both PBrLL macroinitiator and PLL backbone of bottlebrushes adopted α‐helical conformation in appropriate solvents.
