The synthesis and characterization of a water-soluble biodegradable multiblock polyurethane based on poly(ethylene glycol) blocks interconnected by a pentapeptide derivative N,N'-bis(aspartylprolyl)lysine is described. The pentapeptide linkages are susceptible both to chemical hydrolysis in neutral and mild acid medium (pH 5) and to enzymatic degradation by lysosomal enzyme cathepsin B. Anti-cancer drug doxorubicin was attached to a hydrazide derivative of the polymer via a hydrolytically labile hydrazone bond. Both the pH-triggered hydrolytic release of the drug and the degradation of the polymer carrier by enzymatic and chemical hydrolysis were studied using liquid chromatography.

AbstractA novel, water-soluble AB-block copolymer of diethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DEAEM) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was synthesized by anionic polymerization. Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether (PEGME) was converted into the corresponding potassium salt by reacting with potassium metal. The PEG salt was used as a macroinitiator for the polymerization of DEAEM to yield a PEG-b-PDEAEM block copolymer. Carbon dioxide was used to terminate DEAEM polymerization with a carboxylic acid group. This polymer, loaded with dye, was tested for pH sensitivity by release studies into solutions of various pH.
