PMMA‐grafted dextran glycopolymers by atom transfer radical polymerization

The four‐step synthesis of amphiphilic glycopolymers associating dextran as backbone and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as grafts is reported, using the “grafting from” strategy. In the first step, the dextran OH functions were partially acetylated. The second step consisted in linking initiator groups by reaction of 2‐bromoisobutyryl bromide (BⁱBB) with the unprotected OH functions. Third, the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of methyl methacrylate was carried out in DMSO from the resulting dextran derivative used as a macroinitiator. Finally, the cleavage of the acetate groups led to the expected glycopolymers. Careful attention was given both to the copolymer structure and the control of polymerization. PMMA grafts were analyzed by SEC‐MALLS after their deliberate cleavage from the backbone to evidence a controlled polymerization. Moreover, the mildness of the final deprotection conditions was proved to ensure acetate cleavage without either degrading dextran backbone and PMMA grafts or cleaving grafts from dextran backbone. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Recent advances in the preparation of glycopolymer bioconjugates

The significant progress made in understanding the role of carbohydrates and carbohydrates based therapeutics at molecular level has highlighted the importance of carbohydrate bioconjugates in the field of biology, chemistry and therapeutics. The glycosylation of biomolecules is a nature-inspired approach, to impart structural and functional properties to the biomolecules. The availability of facile techniques to synthesize well-defined glycopolymers of varying molecular weights, compositions and shape and their facile conjugation with biomolecules of interest have helped researchers in understanding many aspects of their biological functions at the molecular level. This review focuses on the development of glycopolymer-bioconjugates and provides a comprehensive overview of the present bioconjugation tools for their synthesis. The glycosylation of biomolecules is achieved by either pre or post-polymerization modification approaches. The review highlights the potential of living radical polymerization for the facile synthesis of glycopolymer bioconjugates using both pre and post-polymerization bioconjugation approaches, and without disrupting the native structure and functions of the biological molecules. Non-covalent carbohydrate–carbohydrate and carbohydrate–protein interactions play a significant role in many biological and pathological events. The non-covalent interactions of synthetic glycopolymers with biomolecules are also discussed in this review.     

Facile preparation of glyconanoparticles and their bioconjugation to streptavidin

Well-defined glycopolymers containing linear and cyclic carbohydrate moieties as pendent groups were prepared by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT). The RAFT synthesized glycopolymers were used for the aqueous synthesis of stabilized glyconanoparticles. The in situ reduction of the glycopolymers and HAuCl4 resulted in the formation of highly stable modified gold nanoparticles with diameters ranging from 40 to 80 nm in aqueous media. Multifunctional glyconanoparticles were also generated in the presence of varying amounts of biotinylated-polyethyleneglycol (bio-PEG-SH) having terminal thiol groups. The gold nanoparticles underwent aggregation in the presence of streptavidin as revealed by UV-vis spectroscopy. The availability of the biotin for conjugation to streptavidin was also confirmed using surface plasmon resonance (SPR).     

A detailed study on understanding glycopolymer library and Con A interactions

Synthetic glycopolymers are important natural oligosaccharides mimics for many biological applications. To develop glycopolymeric drugs and therapeutic agents, factors that control the receptor‐ligand interaction need to be investigated. A library of well‐defined glycopolymers has been prepared by the combination of copper mediated living radical polymerization and CuAAC click reaction via post‐functionalization of alkyne‐containing precursor polymers with different sugar azides. Employing Concanavalin A as the model receptor, we explored the influence of the nature and densities of different sugars residues (mannose, galactose, and glucose) on the stoichiometry of the cluster, the rate of the cluster formation, the inhibitory potency of the glycopolymers, and the stability of the turbidity through quantitative precipitation assays, turbidimetry assays, inhibitory potency assays, and reversal aggregation assays. The diversities of binding properties contributed by different clustering parameters will make it possible to define the structures of the multivalent ligands and densities of binding epitopes tailor‐made for specific functions in the lectin‐ligand interaction. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

One‐pot synthesis of hyperbranched glycopolymers by RAFT polymerization

Soluble hyperbranched glycopolymers were prepared by copolymerization of glycan monomers with reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) inimers in a simple one‐pot reaction. Two novel RAFT inimers, 2‐(methacryloyloxy)ethyl 4‐cyano‐4‐(phenylcarbonothioylthio)pentanoate (MAE‐CPP) and 2‐(3‐(benzylthiocarbonothioylthio)propanoyloxy)ethyl acrylate (BCP‐EA) were synthesized and used to prepare hyperbranched glycopolymers. Two types of galactose‐based saccharide monomers, 6‐O‐methacryloyl‐1,2:3,4‐di‐O‐isopropylidene‐D ‐galactopyranose (proGal‐M) and 6‐O‐(2′‐acrylamido‐2′‐methylpropanoate)‐1,2:3,4‐di‐O‐isopropylidene‐D ‐galactopyranose (proGal‐A), containing a methacrylate and an acrylamide group, respectively, were also synthesized and polymerized under the mediation of the MAE‐CPP and BCP‐EA inimers, respectively. In addition, hyperbranched poly(proGal‐M), linear poly(proGal‐A), and hyperbranched poly(proGal‐A) were generated and their polymerization kinetics were studied and compared. An unexpected difference was observed in the kinetics between the two monomers during polymerization: the relationship between polymerization rate and concentration of inimer was totally opposite in the two monomer–inimer systems. Branching analysis was conducted by using degree of branching (DB) as the measurement parameter. As expected, a higher DB occurred with increased inimer content. Furthermore, these polymers were readily deprotected by hydrolysis in trifluoroacetic acid solution resulting in water‐soluble polymers. The resulting branched glycopolymers have potential as biomimetics of polysaccharides. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2012     

Design and synthesis of biotin chain-terminated glycopolymers for surface glycoengineering

Synthesis and biological application of glycopolymers

Saccharides on the cell surfaces participate in a number of biochemical phenomena via the protein–saccharide interaction. Synthetic glycopolymers mimic the function of the cell‐surface saccharides and efficiently interact with proteins, cells, and pathogens based on the multivalent effect. Since the biological functions of saccharides are paid much attention, the glycopolymers are being increasingly explored as biomaterials for medicinal application and tissue engineering. This review presents a practical approach of glycopolymers. The glycopolymers were prepared by the facile syntheses of poly(vinyl saccharide)s and the physical and biological properties were introduced. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Protected versus unprotected dextran macroinitiators for ATRP synthesis of Dex‐g‐PMMA

The synthesis of amphiphilic dextran‐g‐poly(methyl methacrylate) glycopolymers (Dex‐g‐PMMA) is studied using “grafting from” concept and atom transfer radical polymerization. Two strategies have been examined to control the macromolecular parameters of such glycopolymers. One is involving four steps including a protection/deprotection approach and the second one only two steps. The introduction of initiators group onto a protected acetylated dextran (and directly onto dextran) was achieved resulting in protected DexAcBr (and in unprotected DexBr). These two types of polysaccharidic macroinitiators differ in term of solubility (hydrophilic DexBr vs. hydrophobic DexAcBr) and of position of the initiators groups on the glucosidic units (which are the sites of the future grafts). When evaluated as macroinitiators for ATRP of MMA, control was achieved in both cases but DexBr gave much faster polymerization and lower average grafting efficiency compared with DexAcBr or model initiator. Advantages and drawbacks of both pathways have finally been discussed. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2010
