Synthesis and Characterization of Biodegradable Amphiphilic Star and Y-Shaped Block Copolymers as Potential Carriers for Vinorelbine

Abstract: Two amphiphilic block copolymers using hydrophobic poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) were successfully synthesized. One of them is an (A-b-B) 4 type star polymer [(PCL-b-PEG) 4 ] and the other one is a Y-shaped PEG-(PCL) 2 . A star-shaped polymer (PCL-b-PEG) 4 was prepared by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ε-caprolactone continued by click reaction of (PCL-azide) 4 and PEG-alkyne. The synthesis of Y-shaped PEG-(PCL) 2 block copolymer was carried out via Diels-Alder … Show more

“…). The incorporation of poly (ethylene glycol) arm shifts the retention volume of PCL‐PNIPAAm‐mPEG miktoarm star terpolymer to the higher side due to the greater dipolar interaction of PEG block with the stationary phase of GPC column . The combined results of 1 H NMR spectroscopy and GPC measurements indicated that the target polymer viz.…”

“…The Cu(I)‐catalyzed azide/alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) and Diels–Alder reactions as foremost members of the “click” reactions family have been received growing interest for the preparation of nonlinear macromolecular structures with different composition and topology. More recently, our group employed these “click” systems for the preparation of multiarm star, multiarm star block, multiarm star triblock, and multiarm star mixed‐block copolymers …”
