Photo‐responsive amphiphilic poly(α‐hydroxy acids) with pendent o‐nitrobenzyl ester constructed via copper‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition reaction

Abstract: Photo-responsive block copolymer mPEG-b-poly(Tyr)-g-NB was prepared by introduction of o-nitrobenzyl ester group into the side chain of amphiphilic poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(α-hydroxy acids) (mPEG-b-poly(Tyr)) containing pendent alkynyl group via copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. The amphiphilic mPEG-bpoly(Tyr) was synthesized via the ring-opening polymerization of O-carboxyanhydrides, with monomethoxy poly (ethylene glycol) (mPEG) as macroinitiator. The molecular structure, self-assembl… Show more

“…(B)]. Both the change on morphology and size of the nanoparticles were mostly attributed to the trans ‐ cis isomerization of the Azo moieties, which resulted in an increase in dipole moment . Though the polarity of Azo moieties side chain on the hydrophobic block shifted the hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance, it was not enough to destabilize micelles.…”

“…A primary objective for many studies designing photochemically-triggered micelle drug-delivery systems has been to synthesize biocompatible materials for micelle fabrication [37][38][39]. For about the last 10 years, the goal has been to further enhance both the biocompatibility and utility of these systems by using nontoxic wavelengths of light that readily penetrate tissues [40].…”

“…Compared to photochromic units, polymers containing photocleavable units have an irreversible light‐responsive behavior, which involves the cleavage of light‐responsive moiety into a more polar species via an irreversible transformation upon irradiation . O ‐nitrobenzyl ester (ONB) is one of the most important photocleavable molecules that undergo irreversible light‐responsive process . In general, UV light is used to initiate the photocleavage process; however, in some case, the light‐responsive groups can be broken by NIR light as well .…”
