Popis: | Glycopolymers are useful macromolecules with a non-carbohydrate backbone for presenting saccharides in a multivalent form. Here, a new methodology is described which allows easy access to water-soluble, biodegradable glycopolymers with both predeterminable composition and molecular weight distribution. Thus, chloroacetylation of commercially available polylysine hydrobromide 3 gave the reactive homopolymer 4, whose chloroacetamide functions allowed subsequent coupling with thiol-containing components. Water-soluble homopolymers such as 8 and 13 were available by treatment with an excess of hydrophilic thiols. Heteroglycopolymers were obtained via quantitative incorporation of substoichiometric amounts of carbohydrates with a mercapto functionality linked to the reducing end; the remaining chloroacetamide groups were capped with an excess of thioglycerol. A variety of glycopolymers with up to four different components was prepared. The composition and purity of the products were reliably analyzed by 1H NMR... |
