Photodegradable Polyesters for Triggered Release
نویسندگان
چکیده
Photodegradable polyesters were synthesized with a photolabile monomer 2-nitrophenylethylene glycol and dioyl chlorides with different lengths. These polymers can be assembled to form polymeric particles with encapsulation of target substances. Light activation can degrade these particles and release payloads in both aqueous solutions and RAW 264.7 cells.

Dendrimersomes with photodegradable membranes for triggered release of hydrophilic and hydrophobic cargo.
Amphiphilic Janus dendrimers containing first through third generation (G1-G3) photodegradable hydrophobic blocks were synthesized and their self-assembly in water was studied. While the G1 and G2 systems formed solid aggregates, the G3 system self-assembled to form dendrimersomes. These dendrimersomes were demonstrated to degrade upon irradiation with UV light, and exhibited triggered release ...
متن کاملPhotodegradable hydrogels for capture, detection, and release of live cells.
Cells may be captured and released using a photodegradable hydrogel (photogel) functionalized with antibodies. Photogel substrates were used to first isolate human CD4 or CD8 T-cells from a heterogeneous cell suspension and then to release desired cells or groups of cells by UV-induced photodegradation. Flow cytometry analysis of the retrieved cells revealed approximately 95% purity of CD4 and ...
متن کاملA microsystem integrating photodegradable hydrogel microstructures and reconfigurable microfluidics for single-cell analysis and retrieval.
We developed a micropatterned photodegradable hydrogel array integrated with reconfigurable microfluidics to enable cell secretion analysis and cell retrieval at the single-cell level. The activity of protease molecules secreted from single cells was monitored using FRET peptides entrapped inside microfabricated compartments. Antibody-modified gel islands tethering cells to the surface could be...
متن کاملPhotodegradable hydrogels for dynamic tuning of physical and chemical properties.
We report a strategy to create photodegradable poly(ethylene glycol)-based hydrogels through rapid polymerization of cytocompatible macromers for remote manipulation of gel properties in situ. Postgelation control of the gel properties was demonstrated to introduce temporal changes, creation of arbitrarily shaped features, and on-demand pendant functionality release. Channels photodegraded with...
متن کاملAn Alternative Method for Synthesis of Thermally Stable Aromatic Polyesters Containing Schiff Base Unites
In this paper, an efficient method for synthesis of aromatic polyesters containing schiff base units is described by preparation of two polyesters. These polyesters have been prepared by the reaction of terephthaloyl dichloride on Schiff bases derived from p-hydroxybenzyldehyde and 4,4-diamino diphenyl ether, 4,4-diamino diphenyl methane. The Polymers were characterized by IR, CHNS, thermal...
