Fluorescent Microspheres of Poly(ethylene Glycol)–poly(lactic Acid)–fluorescein Copolymers Synthesized by Ugi Four‐component Condensation
Journal of applied polymer science(2015)
摘要
ABSTRACTMicroparticles formed by poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) diblock copolymers containing fluorescein grafted to the polymer chain were synthesized by a Ugi four‐component condensation (UFCC) reaction. To synthesize these copolymers, lactide was first polymerized by a ring‐opening polymerization with alcohol initiators containing functional groups to give carboxyl‐ and aldehyde‐end‐functionalized PLA. Two different fluorescent block copolymers (FCPs) of PEG–PLA conjugated to fluorescein (FCP 1 and FCP 2) were then synthesized by UFCC; they gave yields in the range 65–75%. These copolymers were characterized well according their chemical structures and thermal properties, and we prepared fluorescent microspheres (FMSs) from them with the single emulsion–solvent evaporation method (FMS 1 and FMS 2). A new application of UFCC in the preparation of biomasked drug‐delivery systems is proposed. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016, 133, 42994.
