Cross-linking and decoration of polysialic acid
Organische Molekülchemie - Synthese, Charakterisierung
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Various polysialic acid derivatives have been prepared, such as azide and alkyne functionalized polysialic acid, methacrylated polysialic acid and aldehyde functionalized polysialic acid. The modified polysialic acid derivatives were used to prepare hydrogels, which were studied as cellular scaffolds for neural tissue engineering. Polysialic acid based hydrogels were formed via different crosslinking methods. Azide and alkyne decorated polysialic acid derivatives were used as “clickable” macromolecular precursors and in the presence of Cu-catalyst. Since copper is potentially cytotoxic for organisms, the metal-free “click” linkage is more favored for generation of polysialic acid hydrogels. Together with the corresponding azides, oxanorbornadiene modified polysialic acid created hydrogel without any addition catalyst or reagent. Photo-induced radical crosslinking is also an appropriate approach for the preparation of hydrogels using methacrylated polymers. Finally, hydrazone linked polysialic acid hydrogels have been synthesized, which turned out to be instable and liquefied after a few hours. Nevertheless, blends of aldehyde modified polySia and hydrazide decorated alginate or hyaluronate can generate very stable and flexible hydrogels. In order to improve cell adhesion, polysialic acid was decorated with RGD-peptides via “click” reaction or imine formation. These hydrogels were also tested in cell cultures but surprisingly no significant improvement of cell adhesion could be detected. In this project, neuraminic acid was successfully modified at two positions (C-1 and C-5) with various functional groups. C-1 modification was accomplished via coupling of neuraminic acid and 3-azidopropan-1-amine or propargylamine. N-acyl derivatizations were established from various substituents and deacetylated neuraminic acid. At first, the substituents were transferred into their corresponding NHS-ester. Subsequently, the NHS-esters were coupled to the amino group of neuraminic acid to afford different neuraminic acid derivatives. Finally, methacrylate modified neuraminic acid was synthesized directly from methacrylic anhydride and deacetylated neuraminic acid under mild conditions.
