The present study had two main objectives. First, was to compare the immune stimulatory effect of two synthetic lipid A analogues (7-acyl lipid A and pentaerythritol-based lipid A (PET lipid A)) on maturation/stimulation of bone marrow derived dendritic cells (DCs).

Journal of combinatorial chemistry, 9(6), 1157-1163 (2007-09-29)
Application of a novel sulfonate-based traceless multifunctional linker system using pentaerythritol as a tetrapodal soluble support was demonstrated using liquid-phase parallel and combinatorial preparation of biphenyl and terphenyl compounds. Nickel-catalyzed reactions of pentaerythritol tetrakis(arenesulfonate)s with arylmagnesium bromides generated the desired

The eight-shaped poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is synthesized by a combination of Glaser coupling with ring-opening polymerization (ROP). Firstly, the star-shaped (PEO-OH)(4) is synthesized by ROP of ethylene oxide (EO) using pentaerythritol as an initiator and diphenylmethyl potassium (DPMK) as a

The synthesis of propargylated pentaerythrityl phosphodiester oligomers (PePOs) was achieved using a DNA synthesizer with a bis-propargylated pentaerythritol-based phosphoramidite. An azido fucose derivative was reacted under "click" chemistry conditions activated by microwaves to construct a series of glycosylated PePOs bearing

The objective of this study is to develop a sensitive temperature-responsive material that would function near body temperature. To achieve this purpose, we compounded 2-branched and 4-branched poly(epsilon-caprolactone) macromonomers to modulate the transition temperatures of the resulting cross-linked materials. The
