General description

1-Pyrenebutanol, an alcohol, is an organic building block. It participates in the polymerization of cyclic esters (lactide, δ-valerolactone and ε-caprolactone).

Application

1-Pyrenebutanol may be employed in the following studies:
  • As a new fluorescent substrate to investigate the allosteric mechanism of P450eryF.
  • Preparation of fluorescent polymer based on D,L-lactic acid units end-capped with 1-pyrenebutanol by ring-opening polymerization.
  • Synthesis of 1-pyrenebutanol (PB)-labeled poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanoparticles (NPs).

A new fluorescent polymer based on D,L-lactic acid units end-capped with 1-pyrenebutanol (PLAP) was synthesized by ring-opening polymerization. PLAP having different molecular weight could be obtained by varying the ratio of D,L-lactide and 1-pyrenebutanol. Fluorescent nanoparticles (NP) were prepared using

1-Pyrenebutanol (1-PB) has been used as a new fluorescent substrate for P450eryF to explore the molecular mechanisms of cooperativity. Hydroxylation of 1-PB by P450eryF was detected by both fluorometric and chromatographic assays. Binding was monitored by a substrate-induced low-to-high spin

We developed a biodegradable polycarbonate that demonstrates antithrombogenicity and vascular cell adhesion via organocatalytic ring-opening polymerization of a trimethylene carbonate (TMC) analogue bearing a methoxy group. The monoether-tagged polycarbonate demonstrates a platelet adhesion property that is 93 and 89% lower
