考察了温敏性PCL-PEG-PCL水凝胶中聚乙二醇(PEG)及聚己内酯(PCL)不同嵌段组成对其溶胶-凝胶相转变温度以及亲水性药物(牛血清白蛋白, BSA)释放速率的影响. 采用开环聚合法, 以辛酸亚锡为催化剂、PEG1500/PEG1000为引发剂, 与己内酯单体发生开环共聚, 合成了一系列具有不同PEG和PCL嵌段长度的PCL-PEG-PCL型三嵌段共聚物. 通过核磁共振氢谱及凝胶渗透色谱对其组成、结构及分子量进行了表征. 共聚物的溶胶-凝胶相变温度由翻转试管法测定. 利用透射电镜、核磁共振氢谱及荧光探针技术证实了该材料在水溶液中胶束的形成. 以BSA为模型蛋白药物, 制备载药水凝胶, 利用microBCA法测定药物在释放介质中的浓度, 研究其体外释放行为. 实验结果表明, 共聚物的溶胶-凝胶相变温度与PCL及PEG嵌段长度紧密相关, 即在给定共聚物浓度情况下, 固定PEG嵌段长度而增加PCL嵌段长度, 会导致相变温度降低; 而固定PCL嵌段长度而增加PEG嵌段长度, 其相变温度相应升高. 水凝胶中蛋白药物的释放速率与疏水的PCL嵌段长度无关, 而与亲水的PEG嵌段长度密切相关, 即PEG嵌段越长, 蛋白药物释放越快.

Synthesis and solution properties of anionic linear–dendritic block amphiphiles

The design and synthesis of novel linear–dendritic diblock amphiphiles with linear poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) as the hydrophilic block and dendritic poly(benzyl ether) as the hydrophobic block are described. The synthetic process consisted of two steps: a poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA)–poly(benzyl ether) dendrimer series were synthesized with atom transfer radical polymerization, and through the hydrolysis of linear PMA block into PAA, amphiphilic block copolymers, the PAA–poly(benzyl ether) dendrimer series, were obtained. The copolymers were characterized by ¹H NMR, Fourier transform infrared, and size exclusion chromatography and exhibited well‐defined architectures and low polydispersities. When the generation number of the dendritic block (G_i) less or equal to 3 and the degree of polymerization of the linear chain (n) was greater than 10, the amphiphiles were water‐soluble. The solution intrinsic viscosity increased with both the length of linear chain and the generation number of the dendritic block. The results obtained demonstrate that dendritic blocks play an unusual role in aqueous solutions of amphiphiles. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 38: 4282–4288, 2000     

Suzuki-Miyaura reaction in water, conducted by employing an amphiphilic dendritic phosphine-palladium catalyst: a positive dendritic effect on chemical yield

A series of amphiphilic dendritic ligands with a phosphine core was synthesized by use of tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)phosphine oxide and poly(benzyl ether) dendron. The corresponding phosphine-palladium core dendrimers were applied as a catalyst to an aqueous-media Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. A positive dendritic effect on chemical yields of cross-coupling products was observed.     

Dendritic poly(benzyl ether)‐b‐poly(N‐vinylcaprolactam) block copolymers: Self‐organization in aqueous media,thermoresponsiveness and biocompatibility

Four generations of new amphiphilic thermoresponsive linear‐dendritic block copolymers (LDBCs) with a linear poly(N‐vinylcaprolactam) (PNVCL) block and a dendritic poly(benzyl ether) block are synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of N‐vinylcaprolactam (NVCL) using dendritic poly(benzyl ether) chlorides as initiators. The copolymers have been characterized by ¹H NMR, FTIR, and GPC showing controlled molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution (PDI ≤ 1.25). Their self‐organization in aqueous media and thermoresponsive property are highly dependent on the generation of dendritic poly(benzyl ether) block. It is observed for the LDBCs that the self‐assembled morphology changes from irregularly spherical micelles, vesicles, rod‐like large compound vesicles (LCVs), to the coexistence of spherical micelles and rod‐like LCVs, as the generation of the dendritic poly(benzyl ether) increases. The results of a cytotoxicity study using an MTT assay method with L929 cells show that the LDBCs are biocompatible. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.

Novel functionally grafted pseudo-semi-interpenetrating networks constructed by reactive linear-dendritic copolymers

This paper describes the synthesis of amphiphilic pseudo-semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (pseudo-semi-IPNs) containing linear poly(styrene) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) cross-linked through monodendritic fragments. A unique feature of the synthetic strategy is the permanent attachment of the linear segment to the PEG network by a transesterification reaction between the hydroxyl groups at both ends of the PEG and peripheral ethyl ester moieties in the monodendron portion of a linear poly(styrene)-dendritic poly(benzyl ether) AB block copolymer. The proceeding of the reaction is monitored by (1)H NMR and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The formation of an interlock structure between the linear block and the network matrix in the pseudo-semi-IPN is evidenced by the results from spectroscopic analyses and differential scanning calorimetry measurements. The accessibility of functional centers in the grafted semi-IPN is confirmed by model reactions with fluorescent markers, fluorescence spectroscopy, and NMR techniques and shows the potential of these novel materials as sequestering reagents for resin capture-release applications in parallel synthesis, combinatorial chemistry, and advanced drug design.     

Comparison of facially amphiphilic biaryl dendrimers with classical amphiphilic ones using protein surface recognition as the tool

Facially amphiphilic biaryl dendrimers are compared with the more classical benzyl ether amphiphilic dendrimers for molecular recognition, using protein binding as the probe. The protein used for the proposed study is chymotrypsin (ChT). A generation-dependent binding affinity was observed with the benzyl ether dendrimers, while the affinities were independent of generation in the case of the biaryl dendrimers. Similarly, although the ligands incorporated in both dendrons are the same, the biaryl dendrimers are able to bind more proteins compared to the benzyl ether dendrimers. For example, G3-dendron of biaryl dendrimer can bind six molecules of chymotrypsin, whereas G3-analogue of benzyl ether dendrimers can bind only three molecules of chymotrypsin. This result is consistent with our hypothesis that the internal layers of the facially amphiphilic biaryl dendrons are solvent-exposed and accessible for recognition. In addition, the systematic size differences in dendrons were also used to gain insights into the substrate selectivity that the enzyme gains upon binding to a ligand scaffold.     

Self-aggregation of dendritic poly(benzyl ether)–poly(acrylic acid), an amphiphilic block copolymer, studied by 1H NMR

The dynamic properties of the micelles of a novel synthesized amphiphilic block copolymer, dendritic poly(benzyl ether)–poly(acrylic acid) (Dendr.PBE-PAA), formed in aqueous solutions were studied by the ¹H self-diffusion coefficient, relaxation measurements and 2D nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy. The experimental results show that Dendr.PBE-PAA molecules self-aggregate in aqueous solution. The dynamic properties of the Dendr.PBE-PAA micelles vary with their total concentration in the solution. The motion of the molecules in the micelles of a concentrated solution is more restricted than that in a less concentrated one. The main chains of PAA are densely packed in the surface layer of the hydrophobic core with the carboxyl side chain pointing to the aqueous medium and the hydrophobic phenoxy rings stay in the interior. The self-aggregate becomes larger as the degree of polymerization of PAA increases. However the phenoxy rings situated in the interior of the hydrophobic core become more loosely packed. n-Hexadecane is solubilized in the micelles. The optimal position of n-hexadecane is between the phenoxy rings next to the PAA chains. Received: 25 January 2001 Accepted: 18 July 2001     

Dendritic effects of crown ether-functionalized dendrimers on the solvent extraction of metal ions

The ability of a series of crown ether-functionalized dendrimers to function as alkali metal picrate extraction agents is assessed by liquid-liquid extraction and ¹H NMR titration experiments. Crown ether-functionalized dendrimers that contain Fréchet-type poly(benzyl ether) dendrons of different generation as building blocks display different extraction characteristics toward alkali metal cations. Positive and negative dendritic effects depending on the generation of the dendrimer are assigned in the complexation behaviour of the dendritic host compounds.

Facile synthesis of dumbbell‐shaped dendritic‐linear‐dendritic triblock copolymer via reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer polymerization

We report the first instance of facile synthesis of dumbbell‐shaped dendritic‐linear‐dendritic triblock copolymer, [G‐3]‐PNIPAM‐[G‐3], consisting of third generation poly(benzyl ether) monodendrons ([G‐3]) and linear poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), via reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The key step was the preparation of novel [G‐3]‐based RAFT agent, [G‐3]‐CH₂SCSSCH₂‐[G‐3] (1), from third‐generation dendritic poly(benzyl ether) bromide, [G‐3]‐CH₂Br. Due to the bulky nature of [G‐3]‐CH₂Br, its transformation into trithiocarbonate 1 cannot go to completion, a mixture containing ～80 mol % of 1 and 20 mol % [G‐3]‐CH₂Br was obtained. Dumbbell‐shaped [G‐3]‐PNIPAM₃₁₀‐[G‐3] triblock copolymer was then successfully obtained by the RAFT polymerization of N‐isopropylacylamide (NIPAM) using 1 as the mediating agent, and trace amount of unreacted [G‐3]‐CH₂Br was conveniently removed during purification by precipitating the polymer into diethyl ether. The dendritic‐linear‐dendritic triblock structure was further confirmed by aminolysis, and fully characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and ¹H‐NMR. The amphiphilic dumbbell‐shaped triblock copolymer contains a thermoresponsive PNIPAM middle block, in aqueous solution it self‐assembles into spherical nanoparticles with the core consisting of hydrophobic [G‐3] dendritic block and stabilized by the PNIPAM central block, forming loops surrounding the insoluble core. The micellar properties of [G‐3]‐PNIPAM₃₁₀‐[G‐3] were then fully characterized. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 45: 1432–1445, 2007     

The effect of macromolecular architecture in nanomaterials: a comparison of site isolation in porphyrin core dendrimers and their isomeric linear analogues

The influence of macromolecular architecture on the physical properties of polymeric materials has been studied by comparing poly(benzyl ether) dendrons with their exact linear analogues. The results clearly confirm the anticipation that dendrimers are unique when compared to other architectures. Physical properties, from hydrodynamic volume to crystallinity, were shown to be different, and in a comparative study of core encapsulation in macromolecules of different architecture, energy transduction from the polymer backbone to a porphyrin core was shown to be different for dendrimers as compared to that of isomeric four- or eight-arm star polymers. Fluorescence excitation revealed strong, morphology dependent intramolecular energy transfer in the three macromolecular isomers investigated. Even at high generations, the dendrimers exhibited the most efficient energy transfer, thereby indicating that the dendritic architecture affords superior site isolation to the central porphyrin it surrounds.
