Abstract
The synthesis of polyglutamine conjugates of lysine dendrimers, in which carboxyl groups of polyglutamine chains are linked via one point to the amino groups of N-terminal lysine fragments of dendrimers, is studied. Lysine dendrimers of third, fourth, and fifth generations are preliminarily prepared via the solid-phase synthesis on a polymer support, crosslinked p-methylbenzohydrylaminopolystyrene. The first approach to the synthesis of polyglutamine conjugates of dendrimers consisted in that, after the synthesis of lysine dendrimers, their removal from the polymer support, their full unblocking, and their purification, γ-benzyl glutamate N-carboxyadhydride is involved in solution polymerization at the amino groups of lysine of the outer sphere of dendrimers. The second approach includes the polymerization of γ-benzyl glutamate N-carboxyadhydride on the amino groups of N-terminal lysine residues of lysine dendrimers performed before dendrimer removal from the polymer support. The structural study of star-shaped conjugate of lysine dendrimers makes it possible to for the first time estimate the similarities and differences in these two approaches to the synthesis of polyglutamine conjugates of lysine dendrimers.
