To optimize the therapeutic effect of pharmaceutical agents, drug delivery systems tailored from FDA-approved polymers like poly(L-lactide) (PLA) is an effective strategy. Because of their hydrophobic character, these systems greatly suffer from reduced circulation time thus, amphiphilic block copolymers became favorable to overcome this limitation. Of them, poly(oxazoline)-b-poly(L-lactide) are of choice as poly(oxazoline) (PEtOx) is compatible, biodegradable, while exhibiting minimum cytotoxicity. To tailor selective drug targeting drug delivery systems, whereby their selectivity for tumor tissues is maximized, these polymers should be decorated with so-called tumor-homing agents, such as antibodies, peptides and so forth. To this respect, we designed a new block copolymer, allyl-poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)-b-poly(L-lactide) allyl-(PEtOx-b-PLA) and its subsequent conjugation to tumor-homing peptides, peptide-18, and peptide-563 at the terminal position. In this manuscript, we report our synthetic route to obtain this building block and its conjugation to tumor-homing agents.

Our focus in this study is on the design and synthesis of a light-responsive peptide-based nanocarrier in order to develop effective and biocompatible drug delivery systems. The synthesized nanocarrier is basically composed of peptide amphiphiles comprising a micelle forming a Pro-Pro-Pro-Lys-Lys-Lys peptide sequence with an attached anthracene fluorophore Anthracene containing an inner core of the micelle can serve as a storage site for poorly water-soluble drugs. Moreover, anthracenes that come in close p...
The synthesis of hydroxymethyl containing cyclitol derivatives
Kaya, Nihal; Balcı, Metin; Department of Chemistry (2009)
Cyclitols have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years because of diverse biological activities exhibited by them and also synthetic usefulness in the synthesis of other natural compounds or pharmaceuticals. The presence of hydroxymethyl groups in many cyclitols units building natural products is also attracting a remarkable attention. In this study, novel synthetic strategies leading to cyclitol derivatives including hydroxymethyl groups were investigated and the syntheses of bis-homoinositol d...

Time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance techniques are frequently used in polymer, pharmaceutical, and food industries as they offer rapid experimentation and generally do not require any considerable preliminary sample preparation. Detection of solid and liquid fractions in a sample is possible with the free induction decay (FID). However, for the classical FID sequence that consists of a single pulse followed by relaxation decay acquisition, the dead time of the probe (ring out of resonance circuitry) occu...
The Synthesis of Complex Polymer Electrolytes Based on Alginic Acid and Poly(1-vinylimidazole) and Application in Tyrosinase Immobilization
Kartal, Muejgan; Kayahan, Senem; Bozkurt, Ayhan; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-01-01)
In this study, proton conducting polymer electrolyte networks consisting of alginic acid (AA) and poly(1-vinylimidazole) (PVI) were prepared. The polymer networks were obtained by mixing AA and PVI with several stoichiometric ratios, x (with respect to monomers). Polymer networks were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and their compositions were investigated by elemental analysis (EA). Enzyme entrapped polymer networks (EEPN) were produced by immobilization of tyrosinase in the AA/PVI matrix during comple...

Solid-liquid mixing is one of the most commonly used unit operations in industries such as petrochemicals, polymer processing, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and mineral processing. There are two focuses in solid-liquid mixing operations: solids suspension and solids distribution. The key design parameter for solids suspension is Njs. In most solids suspensions, the main objective is to provide maximum contact between solid and liquid phases with minimum power consumption, and this can be achieved by setti...
