Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:4681. [PMID: 38139932 PMCID: PMC10747282 DOI: 10.3390/polym15244681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Revised: 12/05/2023] [Accepted: 12/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
The group-transfer polymerization (GTP) of N,N-bis(2-methoxyethyl)acrylamide (MOEAm) initiated by Me2EtSiH in the hydrosilylation-promoted method and by silylketene acetal (SKA) in the conventional method proceeded in a controlled/living manner to provide poly(N,N-bis(2-methoxyethyl)acrylamide) (PMOEAm) and PMOEAm with the SKA residue at the α-chain end (MCIP-PMOEAm), respectively. PMOEAm-b-poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMAm) and PMOEAm-s-PDMAm and PMOEAm-b-poly(N,N-bis(2-ethoxyethyl)acrylamide) (PEOEAm) and PMOEAm-s-PEOEAm were synthesized by the block and random group-transfer copolymerization of MOEAm and N,N-dimethylacrylamide or N,N-bis(2-ethoxyethyl)acrylamide. The homo- and copolymer structures affected the thermoresponsive properties; the cloud point temperature (Tcp) increasing by decreasing the degree of polymerization (x). The chain-end group in PMOEAm affected the Tcp with PMOEAmx > MCIP-PMOEAmx. The Tcp of statistical copolymers was higher than that of block copolymers, with PMOEAmx-s-PDMAmy > PMOEAmx-b-PDMAmy and PMOEAmx-s-PEOEAmy > PMOEAmx-b-PEOEAmy.

Abstract
Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide that is considered to be biocompatible, biodegradable and non-toxic. The polymer has been used in drug delivery applications for its positive charge, which allows for adhesion with and recognition of biological tissues via non-covalent interactions. In recent times, chitosan has been used for the preparation of graft copolymers with thermoresponsive polymers such as poly-N-vinylcaprolactam (PNVCL) and poly-N-isopropylamide (PNIPAM), allowing the combination of the biodegradability of the natural polymer with the ability to respond to changes in temperature. Due to the growing interest in the utilization of thermoresponsive polymers in the biological context, it is necessary to increase the knowledge of the key principles of thermoresponsivity in order to obtain comparable results between different studies or applications. In the present review, we provide an overview of the basic principles of thermoresponsivity, as well as a description of the main polysaccharides and thermoresponsive materials, with a special focus on chitosan and poly-N-Vinyl caprolactam (PNVCL) and their biomedical applications.

Abstract
Clinical manifestations of leishmaniasis range from self-healing, cutaneous lesions to fatal infections of the viscera. With no preventative Leishmania vaccine available, the frontline option against leishmaniasis is chemotherapy. Unfortunately, currently available anti-Leishmania drugs face several obstacles, including toxicity that limits dosing and emergent drug resistant strains in endemic regions. It is, therefore, imperative that more effective drug formulations with decreased toxicity profiles are developed. Previous studies had shown that 2-(((5-Methyl-2-thienyl)methylene)amino)-N-phenylbenzamide (also called Retro-2) has efficacy against Leishmania infections. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) analogs of Retro-2, using the dihydroquinazolinone (DHQZ) base structure, were subsequently described that are more efficacious than Retro-2. However, considering the hydrophobic nature of these compounds that limits their solubility and uptake, the current studies were initiated to determine whether the solubility of Retro-2 and its SAR analogs could be enhanced through encapsulation in amphiphilic polymer nanoparticles. We evaluated encapsulation of these compounds in the amphiphilic, thermoresponsive oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate-co-pentafluorostyrene (PFG30) copolymer that forms nanoparticle aggregates upon heating past temperatures of 30°C. The hydrophobic tracer, coumarin 6, was used to evaluate uptake of a hydrophobic molecule into PFG30 aggregates. Mass spectrometry analysis showed considerably greater delivery of encapsulated DHQZ analogs into infected cells and more rapid shrinkage of L. amazonensis communal vacuoles. Moreover, encapsulation in PFG30 augmented the efficacy of Retro-2 and its SAR analogs to clear both L. amazonensis and L. donovani infections. These studies demonstrate that encapsulation of compounds in PFG30 is a viable approach to dramatically increase bioavailability and efficacy of anti-Leishmania compounds.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 10:E1779.

Abstract
Thermo-responsive copolymers based on oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (OEGMA, Mn = 300 g/mol) and pentafluorostyrene (PFS), coded PFG, were synthesized by RAFT polymerization, using a trithiocarbonate (CTTPC) as controlling agent. Different molar masses were targeted and dispersities lower than 1.51 were obtained. The thermally triggered self-assembly of the resulting PFG copolymers in water was investigated by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) slightly increased with the molecular weight in the 26-30 °C temperature range, whereas the sizes of the intermicellar aggregates formed upon self-assembly tended to decrease with increasing molecular weights (ranging from 1415 to 572 nm). The resulting thermally-induced polymer aggregates were then used to encapsulate and remove organic contaminants from water. Nile Red (NR) and Thiazole yellow G (TYG) were employed as hydrophobic and hydrophilic model contaminants, respectively. Experimental results evidenced that higher molecular weight copolymers removed up to 90% of NR from aqueous solution, corresponding to about 10 mg of dye per g of copolymer, regardless of NR concentration. The removal of TYG was lower with respect to NR, decreasing from about 40% to around 20% with TYG concentration. Finally, the copolymers were shown to be potentially recycled and reused in the treatment of contaminated water.

Abstract
In this study, the synthesis of small molecules and use of an improved “one-pot” method to synthesize the reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) reagents have been reported. By comparing with the RAFT reagents synthesized by the traditional “step-by-step” method, it was observed that the reagents synthesized by the two methods had the same structure, however, the improved “one-pot” preparation method results in a significantly higher yield. Subsequently, two different macromolecular CTA segments (PVP-CTA-PVP and PDMAEMA-CTA-PDMAEMA) were prepared by RAFT polymerization, followed by the synthesis of the block polymer PDMAEMA-b-PVP-CTA-PVP-b-PDMAEMA. Through FITR, NMR, GPC and DLS analysis of the block polymer, it was observed that the isotacticity gradually became dominant as the degree of polymerization increased. Further, using NMR spectroscopy to study the effect of pH on the block polymer, the ionization degree of the synthesized polymer in the tumor tissue environment was observed to range between 86.32% to 99.50%, which proved that the synthesized polymers exhibit significant prospects in the medical application. In this study, two different macromolecular CTA segments (PVP-CTA-PVP and PDMAEMA-CTA-PDMAEMA) were prepared by RAFT polymerization, followed by the synthesis of the block polymer PDMAEMA-b-PVP-CTA-PVP-b-PDMAEMA. ![]()

Abstract
Thermoresponsive polymers have been used extensively for various applications including food additives, pharmaceutical formulations, therapeutic delivery, cosmetics and environmental remediation, to mention a few. Many thermoresponsive polymers have the ability to form physical hydrogel networks in response to temperature changes, which are particularly useful for emerging biomedical applications, including cell therapies, drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, wound healing and 3D bioprinting. In particular, the use of polysaccharides with thermoresponsive properties has been of interest due to their wide availability, versatile functionality, biodegradability, and in many cases, inherent biocompatibility. Naturally thermoresponsive polysaccharides include agarose, carrageenans and gellan gum, which exhibit upper critical solution temperatures, transitioning from a solution to a gel state upon cooling. Arguably, this limits their use in biomedical applications, particularly for cell encapsulation as they require raised temperatures to maintain a solution state that may be detrimental to living systems. Conversely, significant progress has been made over recent years to develop synthetically modified polysaccharides, which tend to exhibit lower critical solution temperatures, transitioning from a solution to a gel state upon warming. Of particular interest are thermoresponsive polysaccharides with a lower critical solution temperature in between room temperature and physiological temperature, as their solutions can conveniently be manipulated at room temperature before gelling upon warming to physiological temperature, which makes them ideal candidates for many biological applications. Therefore, this review provides an introduction to the different types of thermoresponsive polysaccharides that have been developed, their resulting hydrogels and properties, and the exciting applications that have emerged as a result of these properties.

Abstract
A new kind of polymeric material (PNIPAAm-co-SA) was prepared by conjugating a thermosensitive polymer, Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) with streptavidin (SA). This smart prepared composite displayed a controllable conformation change between an expanded and a collapsed form, below or above its lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis demonstrated that the PNIPAAm-co-SA bioconjugate showed the same LCST as the original synthetic polymer, PNIPAAm, which was also 32°C. Based on the specific interaction between SA and biotin, a higher capture efficiency of PNIPAAm-co-SA, which was almost 100% in PBS buffer solution and above 70% in serum was obtained, respectively. And the high affinity between PNIPAAm-co-SA and biotin was still maintained after three heating cycles. Subsequently, the variola virus (small pox, VV) oligonucleotide sequence was chosen as a model to demonstrate the sensitivity of the biosensor which was fabricated based on PNIPAAm-co-SA. The biosensor exhibited the ability to separate and enrich targets from complicated system with its phase transition ability, and high sensitivity toward VV-targets were achieved. Moreover, other types of targets such as proteins and cells, could be detected by changing the biotin-captures, which indicated the broad applicability of biosensors based on this smart polymer material.

Abstract
The synthesis of chitosan (Chs) and chitin (Chi) copolymer and grafting of acrylamide (AAm) onto the synthesized copolymer have been carried out by chemical methods. The grafted copolymer was characterized by FTIR, SEM and XRD. The extracellular cutinase of Aspergillus sp. RL2Ct (E.C. 3.1.1.3) was purified to 4.46 fold with 16.1% yield using acetone precipitation and DEAE sepharose ion exchange chromatography. It was immobilized by adsorption on the grafted copolymer. The immobilized enzyme was found to be more stable then the free enzyme and has a good binding efficiency (78.8%) with the grafted copolymer. The kinetic parameters KM and Vmax for free and immobilized cutinase were found to be 0.55mM and 1410μmolmin-1mg-1 protein, 2.99mM and 996μmolmin-1mg-1 protein, respectively. The immobilized cutinase was recycled 64 times without considerable loss of activity. The matrix (Chs-co-Chi-g-poly(AAm)) prepared and cutinase immobilized on the matrix have potential applications in enzyme immobilization and organic synthesis respectively.
