The mobile phase was 0.1 M in potassium nitrate and the flow rate was 1.0 mL min−1. The column temperature was fixed at 40 °C. Standards and samples were filtered through a 0.22 μm syringe filter and the injection volume was 40 μL. The molecular weight was calibrated with a series of polyethylene glycol standards. The Mws of the samples was determined by comparing the retention time with the standard curves.

1H NMR spectra of the synthesized polymers were determined on a Bruker Avance III 400 MHz NMR spectrometer with D2O as solvent, and the FTIR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Tensor-27 FT-IR spectrometer under strictly constant conditions in the region of 400 to 4000 cm−1. The monomer conversions of VPA and PEGMA were calculated by simple mathematical expressions using relative peak integrations of the 1H NMR spectra. The molecular weight and the polydispersity index (Đ = Mw/Mn) of the polymers were characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) equipped with a Waters 2695 GPC with two Waters Ultrahydrogel 250 columns (7.8 mm × 300 mm) and Waters 2414 refractive index detector using NaNO3 aqueous solution (0.1 mol L−1, pH = 12) as the eluent and relative to the polyethylene glycol standards. The phosphorus contents in the synthesized polymers were detected by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES, Spectro Blue Sop, German), with the incident frequency of 27 MHZ and power of 1400 W.

PLGA (800 mg, 200 μmole) was dissolved in 20 ml dried anhydrous DMF. N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS, 27.6 mg, 240 μmole) and N,N′-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC, 49.6 mg, 240μmole) were added to the reaction solution and this mixture was stirred for 2 hrs to activate the carboxylic end group of PLGA. The resulting precipitate, dicyclohexyl urea (DCU), was removed by filtration. bPEI (1.25 gm, 50 μmole) was dissolved in 20 ml dried DMF. The activated PLGA solution was added dropwise to the bPEI solution over 30 min, and then the mixture was allowed to react for 24 hrs at room temperature with stirring. Poly (lactide-co-glycolide)-g-poly (ethylenimine) (PgP) was purified by dialysis against deionized water using a membrane filter (MWCO=50,000), centrifuged at 5,000 rpm for 10 minutes to remove unreacted PLGA precipitate, and lyophilized. The structure of PgP was determined by FT-IR and 1H- NMR (300 MHz, Bruker) using D2O as a solvent. The molecular weight was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC, Waters, Milford, MA) using an Ultrahydrogel 250 column (7.8×300 mm) and guard column- 6×40 mm with water as the mobile phase. PgP solution (3 mg/ml, 20 μl) was injected by auto-injector and the flow rate was 0.7 ml/minute. A Waters 1525 HPLC pump and Waters 2414 Refractive Index Detector were used. Dextrans at molecular weights of 5, 12, 25, 50, and 80kDa were used as standards.

GPC was used to measure the molecular weights of parental and FA‐conjugated polymers. The Waters 1515 GPC system is equipped with an ultrahydrogel 250 column (Waters Corporation, MA) and a refractive index detector (Waters 2410). An aqueous solvent containing 0.1% trifloroacetic acid and 40% acetonitrile was used as the mobile phase. The mobile phase in the column was operated at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min, and the column temperature was set at 35°C. Poly(2‐vinylpyridine) standards (MWs: 3,300, 7,600, 12,800, 35,000, and 70,000 Da) were employed for molecular weight (MW) calibration. All chromatograms were analyzed using the Waters Millennium 32 GPC software. To further investigate the MW range, the parental polymers were first dialyzed through a 3.5 kDa MWCO membrane to remove any unreacted monomers. Following this first step for 48 hr, the retentate was dialyzed through a 10 kDa MWCO membrane. Samples of retentates from the 3.5 and 10 kDa MWCO dialysis membranes were subjected to ninhydrin analysis which reports for reactive amine content. A calibration using glycine as a standard was used to determine the amine content of polymers, and the relative amounts of amines left behind in the retentates were compared to determine the MW range of the synthesized polymers.

The CCP average molecular weight (Mw) and polydispersivity index (Pi) were deter-mined by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) using an Agilent 1200 chromatographic system coupled with a G7162A Refractive Index Detector (RID) (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Narrow pullulan standards in the 5−642 × 103 g/mol range were used for the calibration curve (Waters Corporation, Milford, MA, USA). An Ultrahydrogel™ 2000 column (12 µm, 7.8 mm × 300 mm) and an Ultrahydrogel™ 250 column (6 µm, 7.8 mm × 300 mm) (Waters Corporation, Milford, MA, USA) were coupled in series and operated at a constant flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The mobile phase consisted of a 0.1 M NaCl solution (w/v) containing 0.02% NaN3 (w/v), filtered through a 0.45 µm PTFE membrane (Merck-Millipore, Milan, Italy). Columns and detector were maintained at 40 °C.
Samples were prepared by dissolving CCP or pullulan standards in 0.1 M NaCl (1 mg/mL final concentration) and filtered (cellulose microporous membrane filter, 0.45 mm, Merck-Millipore, Milan, Italy) before injection (injection volume 50 µL).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mPEGx-NHS (x = 2, 5, 10 or 30 kDa) polymers (0.01mmol) were reacted with APV-O-acetyl (0.03 mmol, 3 equiv) in DMF (4 mL) containing DIPEA (2%). The reaction mixtures were stirred at room temperature for 24 hr. The products were purified on Sephadex LH-20 (2 and 5 kDa conjugates) or Sephadex LH-60 column (10 and 30 kDa conjugates). The O-acetyl groups in PEGX-APV-O-acetyl derivatives were removed by treating with HCl (0.1 N) at room temperature for 6 hr. The HCl was then neutralized with sodium bicarbonate and the solutions were lyophilized to obtain crude conjugates as white flakes. The conjugates were purified by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) on Waters Ultrahydrogel 250 column using water as mobile phase (flow rate: 0.8 ml/min) and characterized using MALDI-TOF-MS. The reaction yields were ~50% for all PEG conjugates. The retention times were: for the 2 kDa: Rt = 24 min, m/z observed 2,505.6 Da; 5 kDa: Rt = 23 min, m/z observed 5,625.6 Da; 10 kDa: Rt = 20 min, m/z observed 10,700.1 Da; 30 kDa: Rt = 17 min, m/z observed 31,098.7 Da.

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.
