Lysine-containing polymers have seen broad application due to their amines’ inherent ability to bind to a range of biologically relevant molecules. The synthesis of multiple generations of polyester dendrimers bearing lysine groups on their periphery is described in this report. Their hydrolytic stabilities with respect to pH and time, their toxicity to a range of cell lines, and their possible application as nano-detoxification agents of organophosphate compounds are all investigated. These zeroth-, first-, and second-generation water-soluble dendrimers have been designed to bear exactly 4, 8, and 16 lysine groups, respectively, on their dendritic periphery. Such monodisperse bioactive polymers show potential for a range of applications including drug delivery, gene delivery, heavy metal binding, and the sequestration of organic toxins. These monodisperse bioactive dendrimers were synthesized using an aliphatic ester dendritic core (prepared from pentaerythritol) and protected amino acid moieties. This library of lysine-conjugated dendrimers showed the ability to efficiently capture the pesticide dichlorvos, confirming the potential of dendrimer-based antidotes to maintain acetylcholinesterase activity in response to poisoning events.
含赖氨酸的聚合物由于其氨基固有的能力能够与多种生物相关分子结合,已经得到广泛应用。本报告描述了多代在其周边带有赖氨酸基团的聚酯树枝状聚合物的合成。研究了它们在不同pH值和时间下的水解稳定性、对多种细胞系的毒性以及作为有机磷化合物的纳米解毒剂的潜在应用。这些零代、第一代和第二代水溶性树枝状聚合物分别设计为在其树枝状边缘上精确地携带4、8和16个赖氨酸基团。这些单分散的生物活性聚合物在药物递送、基因递送、重金属结合和有机毒素隔离等多种应用中展现出潜力。使用由五羟基醇制备的脂肪族酯树枝状核心和保护的氨基酸基团合成了这些单分散的生物活性树枝状聚合物。这一赖氨酸连接的树枝状聚合物库显示出有效捕获农药二氯恶草胺的能力,确认了基于树枝状聚合物的解毒剂在应对中毒事件时维持乙酰胆碱酯酶活性的潜力。
