Poly(3-methacrylamido phenylboronic acid) (PMAPBA) homopolymer and poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(2-acryloxyethyl-galactose) (PEG-b-PAEG) glycopolymer were prepared successfully by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), respectively. The formation of boronate crosslinked nanoparticles based on the complexation of PMAPBA and PEG-b-PAEG was confirmed by dynamic light scattering (DLS), thermal analysis, and Alizarin red S (ARS) based colorimetric and fluorescence assays. The nanoparticles showed significant pH, salt, and sugar sensitivity. At pH 5.0 and 6.0, the aggregation and precipitation of the nanoparticles were observed. The particle size increased significantly as pH increased from 7 to 11. The nanoparticles showed obvious sensitivity to glucose, galactose, mannose, and sucrose at pH 10. Due to shielding of the negatively charged phenylboronic acid groups, the aggregation of the boronate crosslinked nanoparticles was found with increase of the salt concentration.

Here, a water-soluble galactose-functionalized cationic 4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (BODIPY)-based photodynamic therapy agent was synthesized for selectively eliminating the bacterial biofilm. These conjugates can capture bacteria to form aggregations through electrostatic interaction and then generate a large number of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under visible light irradiation to

Statistical, gradient, and block copolymer containing 2-(2',3',4',6'-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-galactosyloxy)ethyl acrylate (AcGalEA) glycomonomer and styrene (S) were synthesized by RAFT polymerization using S-methoxycarbonylphenylmethyl dodecyltrithiocarbonate (MCPDT) as control agent. The block copolymer was synthesized by a two-stage experiment, whereas the statistical and gradient copolymers were obtained in one-pot synthesis. Results obtained from the size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) reveal that the polymers synthesized by RAFT were controlled. The kinetic of each synthetic route was investigated, and the reactivity ratio of both monomers was estimated by in situ NMR experiments r(AcGalEA) = 0.07 +/- 0.01 and r(S) = 0.7 +/- 0.1. Moreover the AcGalEA moieties were deacetylated to achieve potential amphiphilic bioactive copolymer. The preparation of three different macromolecular architectures to form honeycomb porous films by breath figure process was investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM).
“Bottom-Up” Fabrication of BODIPY-Functionalized Fluorescent Hyperbranched Glycopolymers for Hepatoma-Targeted Imaging
A novel type of multivalent and highly specific fluorescent hyperbranched glycopolymers h‐P(GalEA‐co‐VBPT‐co‐BYMA) (hPGVB) is designed and prepared successfully via a facile “bottom‐up” strategy. The acetylated hPGVB is prepared by one‐pot reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization of acrylate‐type galactose monomers AcGalEA and methacrylate‐type fluorescent monomers BYMA
