    Functional polylactide via ring-opening copolymerisation with allyl, benzyl and propargyl glycidyl ethers.
    (2017) Lana, Gwenaelle Elza Nathalie Pound; Rabanel, Jean Michel; Hildgen, Patrice; Mosqueira, Vanessa Carla Furtado
    A versatile and simple strategy is presented to synthesize reactive polylactide derivatives and their block copolymers with polyethylene glycol. Commercially available glycidyl ethers with an allyl, benzyl or propargyl functional group were copolymerised with D,L-lactide. Tin(II)-2- ethylhexanoate-catalysis produced polymers with up to 4.6, 5.9 and 2.3 allyl, benzyl or propargyl groups per chain, respectively. In contrast, less than one reactive group per chain was obtained with the organocatalyst 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene. By increasing the polymerisation feed ratio in glycidyl ether polymers with a higher number of reactive groups per chain were obtained, however a decrease in molar mass was observed. An azidocoumarin was conjugated to the propargylated polymers via copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. These dye-labelled polymers produced nanospheres with fluorescent properties and diameters in the 100-nm sizerange, as characterised by asymmetric flow field flow fractionation hyphenated with fluorescence, static and dynamic light scattering detection. The functionalised polymers were obtained at gram-scale in one step from commercially available reagents; therefore providing a robust and easy to implement approach for the production of multifunctional nanomaterials.

    Chloroaluminium phthalocyanine polymeric nanoparticles as photosensitisers : photophysical and physicochemical characterisation, release and phototoxicity in vitro.
    (2013) Paula, Carina Silva de; Tedesco, Antônio Cláudio; Lucas Primo, Fernando; Vilela, José Mário Carneiro; Andrade, Margareth Spangler; Mosqueira, Vanessa Carla Furtado
    Nanoparticles of poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide), poly(D,L-lactide) and polyethylene glycol-blockpoly (D,L-lactide) were developed to encapsulate chloroaluminium phthalocyanine (AlClPc), a new hydrophobic photosensitiser used in photodynamic therapy (PDT). The mean nanoparticle size varied from 115 to 274 nm, and the encapsulation efficiency ranged from 57% to 96% due to drug precipitation induced by different types of polymer. All nanoparticle formulations presented negative zeta potential values (–37 mV to –59 mV), explaining their colloidal stability. The characteristic photophysical parameters were analysed: the absorption spectrum profile, fluorescence quantum yield and transient absorbance decay, with similar values for free and nanoparticles of AlClPc. The time-resolved spectroscopy measurements for AlClPc triplet excited state lifetimes indicate that encapsulation in nanocapsules increases triplet lifetime, which is advantageous for PDT efficiency. A sustained release profile over 168 h was obtained using external sink method. An in vitro phototoxic effect higher than 80% was observed in human fibroblasts at low laser light doses (3 J/cm2) with 10 lM of AlClPc. The AlClPc loaded within polymeric nanocapsules presented suitable physical stability, improved photophysical properties, sustained released profile and suitable activity in vitro to be considered a promising formulation for PDT.
