Three aluminum complexes supported by salen ligands derived from cis-1,2-cyclohexanediamine and salicylaldehyde derivatives were synthesized. They were characterized by 1H, 13C NMR spectra, and elemental analysis. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that aluminum was in distorted square pyramidal geometry in 2. These complexes were employed as catalysts for the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of L-lactide and rac-lactide. Complex 2 showed the highest activity among these complexes with isopropanol for the ROP of L-lactide and 3 showed the highest stereoselectivity for the ROP of rac-lactide attaining partially isotactic polylactide with a Pm of 0.75. The kinetic data of the polymerization utilizing 3 as catalyst showed that the polymeric rate was first order to the monomer and catalyst. 相似文献
The grafting of 3‐(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPM) onto chitosan by ceric ion initiation was studied under homogeneous conditions in 2% acetic acid solution. The grafted polymer was characterized by FT‐IR, 1H‐NMR, TGA and XRD and swelling studies. TGA results showed that the incorporation of TMSPM to the chitosan chains decreased the thermal stability of the grafted chitosan. Due to the grafting of TMSPM, the crystallinity of chitosan derivatives was found to be destroyed. The solubility of the grafted chitosan in water was improved. The effects of reaction conditions such as initiator concentration, monomer concentration, reaction temperature and reaction time were studied by determining the grafting parameters such as grafting and grafting efficiency. Under optimum conditions, the grafting parameters were achieved as 1440 and 97%, respectively. 相似文献
Abstract The feasibility of grafting poly(methyl acrylate) and poly[1-(methoxycarbonyl) ethylene] onto chitosan, poly-β(1←-4)-2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose, was investigated. The grafting reaction was carried out in aqueous solution by using ferrous ammonium sulfate (FAS) in combination with H2O2 as redox initiator. The effects of such reaction variables as chitosan, monomer and initiator concentrations, reaction time, and reaction temperature were determined. Through this study the grafting reaction could be optimized. The grafting yield reached its maximum value of 332% when 0.3 g chitosan was copolymerized with 3 mL monomer at 70°C for 120 minutes with [FAS] = 6 × 10?5 M, [H2O2] = 6 × 10?3 M, and 8 mL water. The grafted chitosan was found to be insoluble in solvents for chitosan and solvents for poly(methyl acrylate), but did show swelling in dilute acetic acid, methanol, acetone, and in an ethanol/2% acetic acid 1:1 mixture. The thermal stability of chitosan and grafted chitosan were studied by dynamic thermogravimetric analysis. The results show that the graft copolymer is thermally more stable than pure chitosan. The overall activation energy for graft copolymerization was estimated to be 32.8 kcal/mol. 相似文献
It is important for gene carrier to transport DNA into target cells. Although viral vectors are very efficient gene-transfer vehicles, significant drawbacks limit their applications. Chitosan (CS) has been researched widely as a non-viral vector. However, the low cell specificity and low transfection efficiency of chitosan need to be overcome. In order to conquer the drawback of chitosan, the present paper is concerned with the synthesis of novel galactosylated chitosan (GC) through etherization of chitosan and galactose in THF using BF3·OEt2 as promoter. The final product was characterized and confirmed by FT-IR and 1H NMR. The degree of O-substitution (DS) of chitosan by galactose was measured to be 10.38% using anthrone-sulfuric acid colorimetric method. The mean particle diameter and average zeta potential of the GC/DNA complex were 350 nm and +22.1 mV, respectively. The GC/DNA nanoparticle was tested to transfect HEK293 cells, and the viability of HEK293 cells was not affected by the GC/DNA nanoparticle compared to that of the control. 相似文献
Block copolymer micelles with aldehyde functionality were prepared in aqueous medium by dialyzing the N,N-dimethylacetamide solution of α-acetoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(
,
-lactide) block copolymer (acetal-PEG–PDLLA) against water, followed by mild acid treatment to convert the acetal moiety of the micelle to the aldehyde group. Peptidyl ligands (phenylalanine (Phe) and tyrosyl–glutamic acid (Tyr–Glu)) were then chemically conjugated to the micelle through Schiff base formation and successive reductive amination using NaBH3CN. Micelles with peptidyl ligands thus prepared have a size of approximately 40 nm with extremely narrow distribution (μ2/
2<0.1) based on cumulant analysis of dynamic light scattering. A maximum 53% of the PEG-chain end of the micelle could be converted into peptidyl groups. Zeta potential values of Tyr–Glu derivatized micelles were well correlated with the amount of conjugated ligands, controllable over the range of 0 to−9 mV in sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4, 10 mM). These micelles with peptidyl ligands may have a utility for exploring the effect of the surface charge on the pharmacokinetic behavior of particulate systems as well as for modulated drug delivery where cellular peptidyl receptors play a substantial role. 相似文献
In this study, xylan extracted from chestnut sawdust was used to synthesize the copolymers of xylan-graft-poly(L-lactide) (xylan-g-PLLA) by grafting L-lactide monomer onto xylan and using 4-dimethylaminopyridine as a catalyst at 80°C. Depending on the synthesis conditions and parameters, synthesized xylan-g-PLLAs were either water-soluble which form homogeneous plastic films after drying at room temperature or water-insoluble ones which do not form films at all. A Graeco-Latin design of experiments was used to determine the effects of three factors (reaction time, amount of L-lactide, and amount of the catalyst) on the results of the grafting reaction: the degree of substitution (DS) and the degree of polymerization (DP) of the copolymers. The DS and DP determined by 1HNMR showed that they increase according to the amount of L-lactide and decrease according to the reaction time while the catalyst had no influence on the copolymerization reaction. Grafting of PLLA onto xylan was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and 1HNMR analyzes. FT-IR spectra showed absorption bands at 1,784?cm?1 characteristic of the ester functions (C?O) and 1HNMR spectra revealed signals between 1 and 2.5?ppm corresponding to the protons of the aliphatic chains. Thermal properties show that the temperatures of start of degradation of copolymers are lower than those of PLLA and xylan. The N,N-dimethylacetamide results showed that the glass transition temperature of xylan-g-PLLA film was 147°C. We found that the Young’s modulus of this film is close to that of polypropylene. 相似文献
In this paper, a novel biodegradable biomass-based amphiphile was prepared by direct grafting copolymerization of dissolved pulp with hydrophobic poly (l-lactide) in ionic liquids BmimCl. The molecular structures of the obtained copolymers were confirmed with 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and 2D HSQC NMR, and their physical properties were studied by TGA and XRD analysis. The self-assembly behaviors of these amphiphilies in aqueous solution was characterized by fluorescence spectrum and their critical micelle concentrations (CMC) were determined to be in the range of 0.326–0.062 mg/mL. TEM observations and DLS analysis revealed that the pulp-derived micelles had spherical and uniform morphology and small diameters (25–125 nm). It was also found that the surface tension of these copolymers solution firstly decreased dramatically with increasing concentration and then approached to a plateau value when the concentration was above their CMC value. MTT assay showed that the pulp-derived amphiphilic micelles exhibited good biocompatibility, which informed that these micelles could be expected to be used in biological regions, especially for the hydrophobic drug delivery system. 相似文献
Chitin was isolated from prawn shell powder through demineralization and deproteinization process. Chitosan was synthesized from isolated chitin by deacetylation process and characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra which showed close agreement with commercial chitosan. Physicochemical features such as moisture content, ash content, degree of deacetylation and molecular weight has been measured. The prepared chitosan was found to have comparatively higher molecular weight than the commercial chitosan. Functionalization of NH2 group of chitosan with C?=?O group of maltol and ethyl maltol by refluxing equimolar quantities of respective ketones was performed. These synthesized derivatives of chitosan were characterized by their FTIR, 13C-Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, elemental analysis, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Differential thermal analysis (DTA) instrumental techniques. Antibacterial screening results of the synthesized chitosan and its derivatives indicate that these compounds are active against Escherichia coli bacteria. 相似文献
Samples of poly(l,l-lactide)-block-poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(l,l-lactide) (PLLA-PEG-PLLA) were synthesized from l,l-lactide polymerization using stannous 2-ethylhexanoate, Sn(Oct)2 as initiator and di-hydroxy-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) (Mn = 4000 g mol−1) as co-initiator. The chemical linkage between the PEG segment and the PLA segments was characterized by Fourier transform
infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Thermogravimetry analysis (TG) revealed the copolymers composition and was capable to show the
deleterious effect of an excess of Sn(Oct)2 in the polymer thermal stability, while Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) allowed the observation of the miscibility
between the PLLA and PEG segments in the different copolymers. 相似文献
A library of rare-earth metal derivatives supported by an aminophenoxy ligand was prepared and their catalytic performance in lactide polymerization was investigated. It was found that the synthetic strategy had a profound effect on the formation of aminophenoxy rare-earth metal complexes. Amine elimination between Ln[N(SiMe3)2]3(μ-Cl)Li(THF)3 (Ln = Yb, Y) and 1 equiv. of the aminophenol [HONH] ([HONH] = ο-OCH3-C6H4NHCH2(3,5-tBu2-C6H2-2-OH)) in toluene gave the unexpected heterobimetallic bis(aminophenoxy) rare-earth metal complexes [ON]2LnLi(THF)2 (Ln = Yb ( 1 ), Y ( 2 )). When the reactions were carried out in THF and TMEDA, amine elimination produced the aminophenoxy rare-earth metal amide complexes {[ON]LnN(SiMe3)2}2 (Ln = Yb ( 5 ), Y ( 6 )) in ca 85% isolated yields. Complexes 5 and 6 could also be obtained from salt metathesis reaction of {[ON]LnCl(THF)}2 (Ln = Yb ( 3 ), Y ( 4 )) with NaN(SiMe3)2 in a 1:2 molar ratio. In addition, treatment of complexes 3 and 4 with NaOAr (Ar = &bond;C6H4-4-tBu) and (SiMe3)2NC(NPri)2Na in 1:4 and 1:2 molar ratios provided the corresponding aminophenoxy rare-earth metal derivatives {[ON](μ-OAr)Ln(μ-OAr)Na(THF)2}2 (Ln = Yb ( 7 ), Y ( 8 )) and {[ON]Ln[(iPrN)2CN(SiMe3)2]}2 (Ln = Yb ( 9 ), Y ( 10 )), respectively. These complexes were fully characterized, and their molecular structures were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Polymerization experiments showed that complexes 1 , 2 , 5 , 6 , 9 and 10 were highly active for the ring-opening polymerization of l -lactide in toluene, and complex 1 promoted l -lactide polymerization in a controlled fashion. The polymerization of rac-lactide initiated by the neutral aminophenoxy rare-earth metal complexes 5 , 6 , 9 and 10 in THF afforded heterotactic polymers. 相似文献
The N-heterocyclic carbene-phosphinidene adducts (NHC)PH were reacted with AlMe3 in toluene to afford the monoaluminum complexes [{(IDipp)PH}AlMe3] and [{(IMes)PH}AlMe3] (IDipp=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene, IMes=1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene). In contrast, the dialuminum complex [{(MeIMes)PH}(AlMe3)2] was obtained for MeIMes=1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-4,5-dimethylimidazolin-2-ylidene. These complexes served as initiators for the efficient ring-opening polymerization of rac-lactide in toluene at 60 °C. High degrees of isoselectivity were found for the poly(rac-lactide) obtained in the presence of the monoaluminum complexes (Pm up to 0.92, Tm up to 191 °C), whereas almost atactic polymers were produced by the dialuminum complex. Detailed mechanistic studies reveal that the polymerization proceeds via a coordination-insertion mechanism with the carbene-phosphinidene ligands acting as stereodirecting groups. 相似文献
The linoleic acid (LA)-grafted chitosan oligosaccharide (CSO) (CSO-LA) was synthesized in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC), and the effects of molecular weight of CSO and the charged amount of LA on the physicochemical properties of CSO-LA were investigated, such as CMC, graft ratio, size, zeta potential. The results showed that these chitosan derivatives were able to self-assemble and form spherical shape polymeric micelles with the size range of 150.7–213.9 nm and the zeta potential range of 57.9–79.9 mV, depending on molecular weight of CSO and the charged amount of LA. Using doxorubicin (DOX) as a model drug, the DOX-loaded CSO-LA micelles were prepared by dialysis method. The drug encapsulation efficiencies (EE) of DOX-loaded CSO-LA micelles were as high as about 75%. The sizes of DOX-loaded CSO-LA micelles with 20% charged DOX (relating the mass of CSO-LA) were near 200 nm, and the drug loading (DL) capacity could reach up to 15%. The in vitro release studies indicated that the drug release from the DOX-loaded CSO-LA micelles was reduced with increasing the graft ratio of CSO-LA, due to the enhanced hydrophobic interaction between hydrophobic drug and hydrophobic segments of CSO-LA. Moreover, the drug release rate from CSO-LA micelles was faster with the drug loading. These data suggested the possible utilization of the amphiphilic micellar chitosan derivatives as carriers for hydrophobic drugs for improving their delivery and release properties. 相似文献
Chitosan was grafted with a novel monomer 1-Cyanoethanoyl-4-acryloylthiosemicabazide (CEATS). The graft copolymerization was conducted using potassium persulfate (K2S2O8) and sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3) as redox initiators. The grafted samples were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. The data may indicate that grafting has occurred at the surface of chitosan. The grafted samples showed high water swelling. The antifungal behavior of chitosan and its graft copolymers was investigated in vitro and it has been found that grafting with CEATS noticeably enhances the antifungal activity. 相似文献
Graft chitosan derivatives (CMCTS‐g‐MAAS and CMCTS‐g‐AAS) were prepared by the graft copolymerization of methacrylic acid sodium (MAAS) and acrylic acid sodium (AAS) onto the etherification product of chitosan‐carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCTS). Their antioxidant activity was estimated as superoxide anion scavengers by chemiluminescence techniques. The derivatives with low grafting percentages have a relatively low 50% inhibition concentration (IC50), which could be related to the fact that they have different contents of hydroxyl and amino groups in the polymer chains.

A set of poly(L-lactide)-poly(?-caprolactone) diblock copolymers (AB) and poly(L-lactide)-poly(?-caprolactone)-poly(L-lactide) triblock copolymers (ABA) with predictable molecular weights and relatively narrow distributions were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of successively added ?-caprolactone (?-CL) and L-lactide (LLA) using 4-methyl benzo-12-crown-4 imidazol-2-ylidene as catalyst. The effects of polymerization conditions, such as reaction time, temperature, monomer/catalyst molar ratio and monomer concentration on the copolymerization have been discussed in detail. The resulting copolymers were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR, GPC and DSC methods which confirmed the successful synthesis of block copolymers of LLA and ?-CL. Hydrolytic degradation of the polymers showed that the PLLA-PCL-PLLA copolymer exhibited faster degradation as compared with the PCL homopolymer in alkaline medium at 37°C. 相似文献
In this paper, multicolored micelles were prepared by coordination of lanthanide(III) (europium(III) (Eu(III)) and terbium(III)
(Tb(III))) ions with block copolymer in different molar ratios of nEu(III)/nTb(III). The micelles formed by polymer–Eu(III)/Tb(III) could emit higher quantum yield luminescence than the mixture of polymer–Eu(III)
micelles and polymer–Tb(III) micelles. The micelles containing Eu(III) and Tb(III) could emit a yellow-green color, and the
intensity varied with the molar ratios of nEu(III)/nTb(III). In the constant concentrations of Eu(III) and 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen), the intensity of 5D0→7F2 increased with the addition of Tb(III), and the intensity of 5D4→7F5 decreased with the increasing of Eu(III) in the constant concentrations of Tb(III) and Phen. All the multicolored micelles
could be spin-coated as intensity-tunable films. 相似文献
