Abstract
As a possible biocompatible and biodegrable polymer skeleton for drug delivery system, block copolymers of L-lactic acid and L-glutamic acid with different composition were synthesized and characterized. Poly (L-lactide) was prepared by polymerization of L-lactide with zine oxide at $130^{\circ}C$ for 72 hrs. 3-Amino-l-propanol was introduced to poly (L-lactide) by an ester linkage in order to initiate polymerization. Polymerization of $\gamma-benzyl-L-glutamate-N-carboxyanhydride(\gamma-BLG-NCA)$ utiliizing the amino group of modified poly (L-lactide) as an initiator gave rise to the block copoly $(L-lactide-\gamma-benzyl-L-glutamate).$ The NMR study of resulting block copolymers showed that the composition of L-lactic acid and $\gamma-benzyl-L-glutamate$ in block copolymers was depended on the weight ratio of poly (L-lactide) and $\gamma-BLG-NCA.$ The thermal properties of the resulting block copolymers were determined by the differential scanning calorimetry and by the thermogravimetry.
의약 전달체에 사용되는 생체분해성 고분자로서 L-lactic acid 와 L-glutamic acid가 각기 다른 조성비로 이루어진 공중합체를 합성하였다. Poly (L-lactide)는 zink oxide를 이용하여 합성하였으며, Poly (L-lactide) 말단에 3-Amino-l-propanol을 도입시킨 다음 이미 합성된 γ-benzyl-L-glutamate-N-carboxyanhydride (γ-BLG-NCA)를 개환중합시켜서 block copoly (L-lactide-γ-benzyl-L-glutamate)를 합성하였다. NMR로써 L-lactide와 γ-BLG-NCA가 서로 일정한 비율로 이루어진 공중합체가 합성되었음을 확인하였으며, 생성된 공중합체들의 열적성질은 시차주사열량계법 및 열무게 측정법으로 조사하였다.
