As shown in Figure 8A, the SPc was synthesized according to the method described by Li et al. [9 (link)]. In brief, the SPc was synthesized using the commercial and cheap material sources through two reaction steps. The 2-bromo-2-methylpropionyl bromide (253 mg, 1.11 mmol) was added dropwise into the pentaerythritol solution (25 mg, 0.18 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (THF, 20 mL) and triethylamine (TEA, 111.3 mg, 1.11 mmol) at 0°C. The reaction was quenched with methanol after stirring for 24 h at room temperature, and the product was recrystallized in cold ether to obtain the star initiator Pt-Br (50 mg, 40%) that was confirmed by 1H NMR (CDCl3, Bruker 400, Billerica, Massachusetts, USA). The Pt-Br (40 mg, 0.055 mmol), DMAEMA (2.2 g, 7.7 mmol) and dry THF (8 mL) were added into a flask, and the mixture was degassed by nitrogen for 30 min. The CuBr (46 mg, 0.22 mmol) and PMDETA (110 mg, 0.44 mmol) were then added, and the polymerization was carried out at 60 °C for 7 h. The reaction was quenched by cooling and air exposure, and the THF was removed and recycled for the next polymerization to decrease the production cost. The crude polymer was purified by dialysis in water four times, and the white powder of SPc was finally obtained, which was also confirmed by 1H NMR (CDCl3, Bruker 400, Billerica, MA, USA).

The reagents and solvents used in this work were obtained from Fluka, Sigma-Aldrich or Merck and used without further purification. Melting points were determined on a Stuart SMP3 and were uncorrected. The infrared spectroscopy (IR) was performed on a Perkin-Elmer FT-IR Spectrometer Spectrum Two with KBr. NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3, at 500 MHz (Bruker). Chemical shifts were reported in parts per million (δ) using the residual solvent signals (CDCl3: δH 7.26, δC 77.16) as internal standards for 1H and 13C NMR spectra and coupling constants (J) are reported in Hz. Mass spectra were acquired using IT-MS Bruker AmaZon SL spectrometer. TLC was performed on silica gel Merck 60 F254 and TLC plates were visualized by spraying with phosphomolybdic acid reagent and heating.

PLA-PEG diblock copolymers were synthesized using 72 kDa PLA
(NatureWorks, Blair, NE) or ~12 kDa PLA (Purac Chemicals, Netherlands).
PEG was used at 1, 2 or 4 kDa (CDH, Mumbai, India) for coupling to PLA.
PEG-PPG-PEG (12.5 kDa; Poloxamer-F127, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) was also
used for the synthesis of PLA block copolymers. In a standard experiment, 0.014
mmol PLA and PEG or PEG-PPG-PEG were dissolved in 100 ml dichloromethane
(CH2Cl2) and stirred at 0–2°C. To these
solutions, 5 ml of 1% N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodimide (DCC) was added slowly,
followed by the addition of 2 ml of 0.1% 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and
stirring for 16 h. The resulting PLA-PEG and PLA-PEG-PPG-PEG block copolymers
were precipitated with a 1:1 mixture of diethyl ether and methanol to remove
unreacted PEG and PEG-PPG-PEG. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis was
performed at room temperature using a Viscoteck GPC system with THF as the
mobile phase. The synthesized PLA block copolymers were dried under vacuum and
stored at –20°C until use. 1HNMR of PLA-PEG or
PLA-PEG-PPG-PEG was performed in CDCl3 at 300 Hz (Bruker,
Germany).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
