Water-soluble hyperbranched poly(phenyleneethynylene)s: Facile synthesis, characterization, and interactions with dsDNA
摘要:
Two novel water-soluble hyperbranched poly(p-phenyleneethynylene)s (HBP1' and HBP2') bearing different contents of oligo(ethylene oxide) (OEO) side chains with ammonium end groups were synthesized by the facile "A(2) + B-2 (or A(2)') + C-3" protocol based on Sonogashira polymerization. Their linear analog (LP2') was also synthesized for comparative investigation. The optical properties of the neutral precursory polymers in THF and final cationic conjugated polyelectrolytes (CCPs) in aqueous solution were studied. Compared with LP2', HBP1' exhibited increased water solubility and fluorescence quantum yield despite its lower charge density, and HBP2', with the similar charge density as LP2', showed the best water solubility and the highest fluorescence quantum yield among the three CCPs. This indicated that the introduction of hyperbranched structure into conjugated polyelectrolytes was an efficient way to improve water solubility and fluorescence quantum yield because intermolecular aggregation was remarkably prevented. The interactions among the three CCPs and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) were studied using ethidium bromide (EB) as the fluorescent probe. The electrostatic bindings of the three CCPs with dsDNA/EB complex resulted in displacement of EB from dsDNA to the solution accompanied by the quenching of EB fluorescence. Both HBP1' and HBP2' bound to dsDNA more efficiently than LP2', and HBP2' formed the most stable complex with dsDNA, suggesting that dsDNA might enter the cavities of single-molecular globular architectures of these hyperbranched conjugated polyelectrolytes and induced additional host-guest spatial interactions. Hence, HBP1' and HBP2' may be proved very useful in gene delivery or DNA biosensor applications. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

polymerization. A cationic conjugated polymer A and an α‐mannose‐bearing polymer B are subsequently obtained through different post‐polymerization methods. As a result of the charged pendant groups or sugar‐bearing groups attached to the polymer side chains, both A and B show good water‐solubility. The titration of Concanavalin A (Con A) into polymer aqueous solution leads to different fluorescent responses for
通过Suzuki交叉偶联聚合反应合成了一种中性的聚芴衍生物,其中含有20 mol%的2,1,3-苯并噻二唑(BT)。随后通过不同的后聚合方法获得了阳离子共轭聚合物A和带有α-甘露糖的聚合物B。由于连接到聚合物侧链的带电侧基或含糖基团,A和B均显示出良好的水溶性。伴刀豆球蛋白A(Con A)在聚合物水溶液中的滴定导致聚合物A和B的荧光响应不同。聚合物A与Con A相互作用后未显示任何明显的荧光变化,而聚合物B显示当添加Con A时BT发射强度的荧光增加。这是由于α-甘露糖与Con A之间的特定相互作用,该相互作用诱导聚合物聚集,然后促进能量从亚苯基-芴链段转移至BT单元。通过将BT发射强度的变化与Con A浓度相关联,可以获得1 n M至250 n M的实用校准曲线。基于聚合物B的Con A大分子探针的优势在于,它在Con A识别后显示信号增加,这与其他基于共轭聚合物的荧光猝灭测定法明显不同。

Cationic conjugated polyelectrolytes poly110 and poly120 were designed, synthesized, and characterized with the anticipation of function in the determination of double-stranded DNA concentration [dsDNA]. Their structures contain a pi-delocalized optically active backbone composed of phenylene-fluorene segments copolymerized with 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BT) units and charged pendant groups that allow
