Poly(7-glutamic a id) (PGA) production ill Bacillas suhtitis IF03335 was studied. When citric acid as a carbon source was added to a glutamic acid medium containing L-glutamic acid and ammonium sulfate, a large amount of pure PGA wEs produced. On the other hand, when glucose was added to the glutamic acid medium, a by-preduct was produced, which seemed to be a polysaccharide. Moreoyer, the mode...

A polymeric prodrug of prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) was synthesized using galactosylated poly(L-glutamic acid hydrazide) (Gal-HZ-PLGA) as a biodegradable and targetable carrier to hepatocytes. Poly(L-glutamic acid hydrazide) was prepared by reacting poly(gamma-benzyl-L-glutamate) with hydrazine monohydrate, followed by reaction with 2-imino-2-methoxyethyl-1-thiogalactosides to obtain Gal-HZ-PLGA...

Block copolymers comprising a poly(styrene) and a poly(L-lysine) or poly(L-glutamic acid) block were obtained by sequential reversible addition−fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) and N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) polymerization. Subsequent partial glycosylation of the poly(L-glutamic acid) block with D-galactosamine (GA) and the poly(L-lysine) block with lactobionic acid (LA) yielded block copolyme...

The synthesis of poly(L-glutamic acid) (PG) was investigated. Reduction poly(benzyl-L-glutamate) by the palladium/charcoal catalyst proved to be an effective method for obtaining polyglutamic acid pure and particularly exhibiting in α-helix secondary structure. structure this synthetic polypeptide assessed infrared spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, proton nuclear magnetic resonance t...

The helical stability of poly-L-glutamic acid and poly-Lornithine in aqueous alcohol solutions was studied by optical rotatory dispersion and potentiometric titration determinations. It was found that aliphatic alcohols enhance the stability of the helix according to the series methanol < ethanol < I-propanol < I-butanol. The role of secondary and tertiary alcohols was also investigated. Thermo...

We investigate the complexation of ampholytic poly(N-isopropylacylamide)-block-poly- (L-glutamic acid)-block-poly(L-lysine) (PNiPAM-b-PLG-b-PLLys) triblock copolymers and PNiPAM-block-(PLG-co-PLLys) diblock copolymers with counter charged anionic and cationic surfactants. Both triblock and diblock copolymers are able to selectively form complexes through either L-glutamic acid-cationic surfacta...
