Amino acid-based poly(ester urea)s (PEU) are emerging as a class of polymers that have shown promise in regenerative medicine applications. Embodiments of the invention relate to the synthesis of PEUs carrying pendent "clickable" groups on modified tyrosine amino acids. The pendent species include alkyne, azide, alkene, tyrosine-phenol, and ketone groups. PEUs with Mw exceeding 100k Da were obtained via interfacial polycondensation methods and the concentration of pendent groups was varied by copolymerization. The incorporation of derivatizable functionalities is demonstrated using 1H NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy methods. Electrospinning was used to fabricate PEU nanofibers with a diameters ranging from 350 nm to 500 nm. The nanofiber matricies possess mechanical strengths suitable for tissue engineering (Young's modulus: 30045 MPa; tensile stress: 8.51.2 MPa). A series of bioactive peptides and fluorescent molecules were conjugated to the surface of the nanofibers following electrospinning using bio-orthogonal reactions in aqueous media.
基于氨基酸的聚(酯脲)(PEU)作为一类聚合物正在成为再生医学应用中显示出潜力的材料。发明的实施例涉及合成携带修饰酪氨酸氨基酸上“可点击”基团的PEU。这些基团包括炔基、叠氮基、烯烃、酪氨酸酚和酮基团。通过界面缩聚方法获得了分子量超过100k Da的PEU,并通过共聚合改变基团的浓度。使用1H核磁共振和紫外-可见光谱方法证明了可衍生功能的结合。电纺技术用于制备直径在350纳米至500纳米范围内的PEU纳米纤维。这些纳米纤维基质具有适用于组织工程的机械强度(杨氏模量:30045 MPa;拉伸应力:8.51.2 MPa)。在电纺后,一系列生物活性肽和荧光分子通过生物正交反应结合到纳米纤维表面。
