In order to enhance the target action of chitosan-based drug, this paper firstly prepared phenylalanyl-glycylchitosan (Phe-Gly-CS) by grafting the key intermediate, bromoacetyl-phenylalanine (BA-Phe) onto chitosan. Then the target sugar molecule, lactobionic acid (LA), was grafted to Phe-Gly-CS and the topic compound lactobionic acid grafted phenylalanyl-glycyl-chitosan (Phe-Gly-CS-LA) was finally obtained in a yield of 78.8%. The product were characterized by FTIR, MS and 1H NMR. The preparing condition of BA-Phe was optimized as follows: the best pH was 10-11, the optimum temperature was $-4^{\circ}C$, the reaction time was 1.5 h.

Polyurethanes containing z-Iysine segments in the main chain (PULL) were synthesized from 4,4'-diphe-nylmethyl diisocyanate, poly(tetramethylene glycol), and z-Iysine oligomer as a chain extender. The PULL film was treated first with a $10\%$ HBr-acetic acid solution and subsequently with a saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution to produce a primary amine group on the surface (PULL-N). Lactobionic acid (LA)-immobilized PULL (PULL-L) was prepared by the coupling reaction of the PULL surface amine groups and the LA carboxylic acid groups. The surface-modified PULLs were then characterized by attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, atomic force microscopy, and contact angle goniometry. In the hepatocytes adhesion experiment, the cells poorly adhered to the PULL surface, although they adhered moderately well to the PULL-N surface. On the other hand, the cells adhered well to the PULL-L surface, suggesting the good affinity of the surface $\beta$-galactose moieties for hepatocytes. When hepatocytes were cultured in the presence of epidermal growth factor for 48 h, the cells rapidly aggregated on the PULL-L surface, whereas they aggregated only slowly on the other surfaces. The PULL prepared in this study has the potential to be used as a coating material for the enhancement of hepatocyte adhesion.

The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of thermosensitive poly(organophosphazenes) with methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) and amino acid esters as side groups was studied as a function of saccharide concentration in aqueous solutions of mono-, di-, and polysaccharides. Most of the saccharides decreased the LCST of the polymers, and the LCST decrease was more prominently observed by saccharides containing a galactose ring, such as D-galactose, D-galactosamine and D-lactose, and also the polysacccharide, 1-6-linked D-dextran effectively decreased the LCST of the polymers. Such an effect was discussed in terms of intramolecular hydrogen bonding of saccharides in polymer aqueous solution. The saccharide effect was found to be almost independent on the kinds of the amino acid esters and MPEG length of the polymers. Such a result implies that the polymer-saccharide interaction in aqueous solution is clearly influenced by the structure of sacchardes rather than by that of the polymers. The acid saccharides such as D-glucuronic and D-lactobionic acid increased the LCST, which seems to be due to their pH effect.

목적: 약물이나 유전자 전달에 이용되는 생체적합성이 높은 키토산의 간세포 지향성을 위해서 갈락토스를 수식하는 방법이 널리 이용되어지고 있다. 이번 연구에서는 갈락토스 수식 키토산의 간세포지향성 획득을 평가하는데 있어서 핵의학 영상법의 유용성에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 키토산에 NHS와 EDC를 이용하여 30 mol%의 lactobionic acid를 결합시켜 갈락토스 수식 키토산을 제조하였다. 얻어진 갈락토스 수식 키토산을 투석 시킨 후 동결 건조하여 얻어 낸 다음 키토산의 기본구조인 glucoseamine에 methyl기를 첨가시키는 반응을 하여 최종화합물을 합성하였다. GMC의 세포내 독성은 MTT assay를 통하여 확인하였다. 제조된 GMC에 $SnCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$를 이용하여 $^{99m}Tc$을 표지하였다. 표지 후 안정성은 아세톤과 생리식염수를 이용하여 1시간까지 확인하였다. $^{99m}Tc$-GMC와 $^{99m}Tc$-MC 55.5 MBq (1.5 mCi)를 토끼의 외이정맥으로 주사 후, 감마카메라를 이용하여 10분, 30분, 60분, 90분 간격으로 전면 영상을 얻었다. 결과: 키토산에 lactobionic acid 30 mol%를 반응시켜 7.4 mol%의 galactose group이 키토산에 결합한 것을 확인하였다. 갈락토스 수식 키토산을 메틸화한 결과는 tri, di, mono가 각각 8.8%, 46%, 35.2%인 것을 확인하였다. MTT assay결과를 통해 GMC의 세포에 미치는 독성은 거의 없는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 표지 효율은 메틸화시키지 않은 $^{99m}Tc$-GC가 아세톤과 생리식염수에서 각각 88%, 72%를 보인 반면에 $^{99m}Tc$-GMC는 96%정도를 보여 보다 높은 표지효율을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. $^{99m}Tc$-MC를 주사후 얻은 토끼 영상에서 키토산은 일반적으로 대부분 신장을 통해 배출되며, 간과 비장, 골격계에는 매우 적은 분포를 보이는데 비해. 갈락토스가 수식된 $^{99m}Tc$-GMC에서는 분포에 변화가 생겨 간, 신장, 그리고 방광에서 높은 방사능이 관찰되는 소견을 보였다. 결론: 핵의학 영상법은 갈락토스 리간드 수식 키토산의 간세포 지향성 여부를 평가하기 위한 생체내 평가법으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

A neoglycolipid, N-stearyl lactobionamide(N-SLBA) was synthesized and the incorporation of the neoglycolipid into liposomes was achieved in order to prepare neo-galactosylated liposome as potential drug carrier for active targeting to galactose receptor existing cell and tissue. N-SLBA was synthesized by the covalent linkage between carboxyl group of lactobionic acid and amino group of stearylamine(SA). The yield of N-SLBA was about 52.3%. It was identified with $1650\;cm^{-1}$ in IR chart, 7.5 ppm in NMR spectra, $61^{\circ}C$ endothermic peak in DSC heating curve. Surface-modified large unilamellar vesicle with galactose(N-SLBA-LUV) could be prepared with N-SLBA by reverse evaporation method. N-SLBA-LUV was identified by TEM and measuring of membrane function. The maximum amount of N-SLBA incorporated into liposome is up to about 15 mol%. Compared with control liposome (SA-LUV), N-SLBA-LUV showed lower encapsulation efficiency of MTX. It might due to the loss of positive surface charge of stearylamine. N-SLBA-LUV was similar to SA-LUV in aspect of osmotic behavior. N-SLBA-LUV prepared with N-SLBA would be expected to be a good carrier for active targeting to galactose receptor existing cell and tissue.
