Folate (FA)-conjugated star-shaped copolymer was prepared as a targeted carrier for anticancer drug delivery by ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide using pentaerythritol (PTL) as an initiator, followed by conjugation with methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) and FA-poly(ethylene glycol) (FA-PEG). The resulting amphiphilic

A nonavalent glycodendrimer bearing terminal alpha-d-mannopyranoside units has been synthesized with a convergent approach. Terminal trivalent mannoside dendrons bearing p-halophenyl ethers were prepared by glycosylation of pentaerythritol derivatives having three 2-hydroxyethyl ether substituents. Two efficient routes were developed for the

In this study, we synthesized and characterized a series of macromers based on poly( N-isopropylacrylamide) that undergo thermally induced physical gelation and, following chemical modification, can be chemically cross-linked. Macromers with number average molecular weights typically ranging from 2000-3500 Da
