Abstract
Star-shaped porphyrin-cored poly(l-lactide)-b-poly(lactobionamidoethyl methacrylate) block copolymers (SPPLA-b-PLAMA) were synthesized via RAFT of unprotected Lactobionamidoethyl methacrylate (LAMA) in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) solution at 70 °C. The structure of this as-synthesized SPPLA-b-PLAMA block copolymer was thoroughly studied by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and Fourier transforms infrared. Moreover, under the irradiation, such SPPLA-b-PGAMA copolymer exhibits efficient singlet oxygen generation (0.17) and indicates high fluorescence quantum yields (0.20). Notably, with UV-vis investigation, SPPLA-b-PLAMA showed a very specific recognition with RCA120 lectin. This will not only provide potentially prophyrin-cored star-shaped SPPLA-b-PLAMA block copolymers for targeted photodynamic therapy, but also improve the physical, biodegradation, biocompatibility properties of PLA-based biomaterials.
