Polymerizable quaternary allyl-pyrimidinium salts, that is, 1-allyl-4-amino-5-phenyl-pyrimidine (IV), 1-allyl-4-acetamido-5-phenyl-pyrimidine (V), 1-allyl-5-hydroxymethylamino-5-phenyl-pyrimidine (VI), and 1-allyl-pyrimidine (VIII) bromides, as well as 4-acrylamido-5-phenyl-pyrimidines IIЈ and IVЈ, were synthesized and characterized. Three of the activated pyrimidine derivatives, the two acrylamido and one allyl pyrimidine, were immobilized onto (Agar-g-co-HEMA)-X-TMPTA via graft copolymerization. Each copolymer system, based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) grafted onto Agar followed by crosslinking with trimethyllopropane triacrylate (TMPTA), was prepared by radiation-induced copolymerization carried out in the simultaneous mode. The release properties of the immobilized pyrimidines were assessed in various aqueous media over a period of approximately 22 days.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
