In recent years, polymeric nanocarriers have been used for drug delivery to improve the efficacy of many chemotherapeutics. In this study, a series of biodegradable phenylalaninebased poly(ester amide)(Phe-PEA) with tunable molecular weights(MWs) were synthesized to systematically investigate the relationship between the polymer MW and the efficacy of the corresponding polymeric nanoparticles(NPs). The results indicated that a range of polymers with different MWs can be obtained by varying the monomer ratio or reaction time. Doxorubicin(DOX), a classic clinical lymphoma treatment strategy, was selected as a model drug. The loading capacity and stability of the higher MW polymeric NPs were superior to those of the lower MW ones. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo data revealed that high MW polymeric NPs had better anticancer efficacy against lymphoma and higher biosafety than low MW polymeric nanoparticles and DOX. Therefore, this study suggests the importance of polymer MW for drug delivery systems and provides valuable guidance for the design of enhanced polymeric drug carriers for lymphoma treatment.展开更多

The results were treated on anorthogonal design L_9 (3~4). All weight-average molecular weights (M_W ) of PPSQ had beenmeasured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Effects of polymerization conditionsincluding reaction temperature, composition of the dual catalysts (CaF_2 or MgF_2 and DCC),mixture of solvents and reaction time on M_W of PPSQ have been discussed. The quantity of thecatalysts is the most important factor that affects M_W of PPSQ. Reaction temperature is thesecond important factor. Appropriate polymerization condition has been established to get PPSQwith high M_W.展开更多

NdCl3＇3iprOH exhibited high activity producing polymers feasting high cis-l,4 stereospecificity （〉 96%）, very high molecular weight （Mn 〉 1.0 × 10^6） and fairly narrow molecular weight distribution （MWD, Mw/Mn 〈 2.0） simultaneously. In comparison, neodymium isopropoxide also showed high activity providing polymers with narrow MWD （Mw/Mn = 2.07）, but somewhat low cis-1,4 content （ca. 92%）, while neodymium chloride had no activity under present polymerization conditions. The Al compounds affected the polymer yield in the order of Al（i-Bu）3 〉 MMAO 〉 Al（i-Bu）2H. MMAO as cocatalyst afforded polyisoprene with high Mn over 1.0 × 10^6, whereas as stronger chain transfer agent than MMAO, AI（i-Bu）3 and AI（i-Bu）EH yielded polymers with low Mn （1.0 × 10^5-8.0 × 10^5）. NdCl3·3＇PrOH/MMAO catalyst showed a fairly good catalytic activity even at relatively low [Al]/[Nd] ratio of 30, and the produced polymer remained high cis-1,4 content of 95.8% along with high Mn over 1.0× 10^6 even at elevated temperatures up to 70℃. The polymerization rate is of the first order with respect to the concentration of isoprene. The mechanism of active species formation was discussed preliminarily.展开更多

The Mws of these polymers were determined by means of static multiangle laser light scattering and viscosity method. A Mark-Houwink equation was established to be [η]=0.154M0.764 for the Mw evaluation of poly（DMAEMA-BC）s. The effects of the Mws of these poly（DMAEMA-BC）s on their antibacterial activities against E. coli and S. aureus were investigated by various methods including viable cell counting, electrical conductivity titration, intracellular constituent leakage tests and electron microscopy. Our results indicate that the antibacterial efficiency of DMAEMA-BC was significantly enhanced after the monomers were polymerized into a polymer and increased obviously with the Mws,as a result of the increase of charge density. Further investigation of the molecular basis underlying the anti-bacterial role of these polymers revealed that poly（DMAEMA-BC） promoted the release of potassium ion from the membrane of bacterial cells and the release increased significantly with the Mws of the polymers used.展开更多

The rate ofpolymerization (R_p) was found to increase linearly with the concentration (in mol/L) of CuCl_2, AN and St through scalingrelations. The activation energy of the copolymerization process in the presence and absence of CuCl_2 was found to be46.5 kJ/mol and 102 kJ/mol, respectively. The viscosity average molecular weigh of the copolymer and the k_p^2/k_t ratio weredctermired to further assess the accelerating effect of CuCl_2 on the copolymerization process. The copolymerization processin the presence of CuCl_2 has a radical complex mechanism.展开更多
