A facile one-pot synthesis of microgels and nanogels of laminarin for biomedical applications.
Journal of Colloid and Interface Science 2020 December 19
HYPOTHESIS: Laminarin (LAM) as a nontoxic, biodegradable, and biocompatible marine polysaccharide, has been reported for its ingenious bioactivities such as antioxidant, antitumor antiapoptotic anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and dietary fiber activities, and distinct physicochemical structure possess a remarkably promising potential in biomaterial science. Synthesis of LAM-based microgels and bulk hydrogels have been reported in two stages: modification of LAM polysaccharide with polymerizable functional groups and subsequent crosslinking reaction. Therefore, here an easier and more effortless methods to prepare poly(laminarin) (p(LAM)) particles were tackled.
EXPERIMENTAL: A direct and facile single step fabrication of micro/nanogels of p(LAM) for the first time by means of reverse micelle microemulsion system were illustrated. Preparation of p(LAM) particles were achieved by the well-known Oxa-Michael addition reaction mechanism using divinyl sulfone as the crosslinker.
FINDINGS: P(LAM) particles in 0.3-10 µm size range in spherical morphologies were prepared with 93 ± 7% yield and functionalized with chlorosulfonic acid (CSA) demonstrating their chemical modifiability for variety of agents e.g., targeting ligands. The bare and modified p(LAM) particles showed excellent blood compatibility with hemolytic indices of <1% and blood clotting indices higher than 90%. The reported p(LAM) particles hold great promise as natural alternative surrogates in biomedical applications including drug delivery.
