Polyvalent Ligands (polyvalent + ligand)
Selected AbstractsPolymer-Supported 1,5,7-Triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene as Polyvalent Ligands in the Copper-Catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-Dipolar CycloadditionADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 7 2010Alberto Coelho Abstract New supported catalysts for the Huisgen's [3+2],azide-alkyne cycloaddition have been prepared by immobilization of copper species on commercially available polymeric matrixes incorporating the 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) template. The synergic exploitation of the exceptional copper chelating ability and basicity profile of the TBD framework, in addition to ensuring effective immobilization and stabilization of copper species, allows the implementation of three-component strategies. The new catalytic systems enabled the development of regioselective, efficient, modular, mild and eco-friendly multicomponent syntheses of diversely decorated 1,2,3-triazoles, contributing to expand the scope and versatility of the Cu-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. [source] Non-Covalent Polyvalent Ligands by Self-Assembly of Small Glycodendrimers: A Novel Concept for the Inhibition of Polyvalent Carbohydrate,Protein Interactions In Vitro and In VivoCHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 1 2006Gebhard Thoma Dr. Abstract Polyvalent carbohydrate,protein interactions occur frequently in biology, particularly in recognition events on cellular membranes. Collectively, they can be much stronger than corresponding monovalent interactions, rendering it difficult to control them with individual small molecules. Artificial macromolecules have been used as polyvalent ligands to inhibit polyvalent processes; however, both reproducible synthesis and appropriate characterization of such complex entities is demanding. Herein, we present an alternative concept avoiding conventional macromolecules. Small glycodendrimers which fulfill single molecule entity criteria self-assemble to form non-covalent nanoparticles. These particles,not the individual molecules,function as polyvalent ligands, efficiently inhibiting polyvalent processes both in vitro and in vivo. The synthesis and characterization of these glycodendrimers is described in detail. Furthermore, we report on the characterization of the non-covalent nanoparticles formed and on their biological evaluation. [source] Synthesis and properties of biomimetic poly(L -glutamate)- b -poly(2-acryloyloxyethyllactoside)- b -poly(L -glutamate) triblock copolymersJOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 22 2004Chang-Ming Dong Abstract A novel class of biomimetic glycopolymer,polypeptide triblock copolymers [poly(L -glutamate),poly(2-acryloyloxyethyllactoside),poly(L -glutamate)] was synthesized by the sequential atom transfer radical polymerization of a protected lactose-based glycomonomer and the ring-opening polymerization of ,-benzyl- L -glutamate N -carboxyanhydride. Gel permeation chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses demonstrated that triblock copolymers with defined architectures, controlled molecular weights, and low polydispersities were successfully obtained. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of the triblock copolymers revealed that the ,-helix/,-sheet ratio increased with the poly(benzyl- L -glutamate) block length. Furthermore, the water-soluble triblock copolymers self-assembled into lactose-installed polymeric aggregates; this was investigated with the hydrophobic dye solubilization method and ultraviolet,visible analysis. Notably, this kind of aggregate may be useful as an artificial polyvalent ligand in the investigation of carbohydrate,protein recognition and for the design of site-specific drug-delivery systems. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
