Abstract
Synthetic route to prepare model PHB-amine conjugate containing hydrolysable imine bond is reported. Short-chain PHB crotonate is converted into PHB glyoxylate via clean and efficient ozonolysis followed by reductive decomposition of peroxidic products with dimethylsulfide. Aldehyde- functionalized PHB is obtained quantitatively without polymer backbone degradation while PHB-amine conjugate is synthesized with very high yield. Release properties of such-prepared conjugate is confirmed in hydrolysis experiment revealing pH-dependent kinetics of amine release. Simplicity of the protocol in conjunction with unique properties of PHB carrier are believed to be powerful tool for development of novel drug conjugates.
