Technical field
The present invention relates to the preparation method of a kind of polyethylene-b-polylactic acid amphiphilic diblock copolymer (PEG-b-PLA).The technology of preparing that belongs to amphiphilic diblock copolymer.

This amphiphilic diblock copolymer is biodegradable, and can be self-assembled into the stabilized nano particle in water, is a kind of very potential nano-medicament carrier.
The preparation method of the PEG-b-PLA Synthetic rubber, isoprene-styrene, hydrogenated, block, diblock of document and patent report mainly contains two kinds.First method is to adopt the pink salt compounds to make catalyzer, by poly glycol monomethyl ether (mPEG) and rac-Lactide ring-opening polymerization preparation.General reaction mechanism is as follows:
The preparation method's of this PEG-b-PLA technological process mainly comprises drying, reaction, purification.Detailed process is that highly purified rac-Lactide and polyoxyethylene glycol add in the exsiccant reactor by a certain percentage, add appropriate amount of catalysts (mainly being stannous octoate), 70 ℃ of drying under reduced pressure 2 hours, vacuum lower seal reactor, copolyreaction was carried out 5 hours at 170 ℃, and product is dissolved in methylene dichloride, made precipitation agent with excessive sherwood oil, at 40-60 ℃ PEG-b-PLA is precipitated out, vacuum-drying.Or reactant is dissolved in toluene, and remove minor amount of water by evaporation section toluene, add the toluene solution of catalyzer then, reaction was purified to product after 8 hours under reflux temperature.In this method be that solvent can produce product and environment and pollutes with toluene.
Second method is to adopt the anionic ring-opening polymerization reaction, and anionic catalyzer commonly used has sodium alkoxide, potassium alcoholate, butyllithium etc.The preparation feedback mechanism of a kind of α-acetal-PEG-PLA segmented copolymer is shown below:
This method is to adopt terminal PEG and the rac-Lactide copolymerization that has reactive group, and the PEG that end has reactive group causes ethylene oxide polymerization by the alkoxyl group potassium that has the defencive function group to prepare, and entire reaction can be finished in same reactor.Detailed process is, equimolar naphthalene potassium and alkoxyl alcohol are dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF), logical supercooled syringe adds spissated oxyethane after the stirred for several minute, room temperature reaction 2 days, generate viscous solution, add the tetrahydrofuran solution of rac-Lactide then, polyreaction is proceeded 4 hours, reaction product obtains the PEG-b-PLA amphiphilic diblock copolymer with 30 times cold isopropanol precipitating.This anionic ring-opening polymerization technology is complicated, is difficult to realize suitability for industrialized production.
The preparation method of above-mentioned two kinds of PEG-b-PLA all uses poly glycol monomethyl ether and rac-Lactide to be raw material, wherein rac-Lactide costs an arm and a leg, with it is raw material synthetic PEG-b-PLA production cost height, and valuable product can increase the preparation cost greatly as pharmaceutical carrier.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of preparation method of polyethylene-b-polylactic acid amphiphilic diblock copolymer, this method technology is simple, preparation process is reliable and stable, and can regulate the molecular weight of PEG-b-PLA according to service requirements, the abundant raw material of employing, be easy to get.Prepared multipolymer can be self-assembled into the stabilized nano particle in water, hydrophobic drug is had good parcel performance.
For achieving the above object; the present invention is realized by following technical proposals: adopting lactic acid and single end capped polyoxyethylene glycol or single end capped oxyethane and epoxy propane copolymer is raw material; dewater through decompression; under catalyst action, directly carry out melt polycondensation reaction; product obtains polyoxyethylene glycol-polylactic acid amphiphilic diblock copolymer after precipitating and filtering separation; it is characterized in that: with lactic acid and molecular weight is 500~20000 the end capped polyoxyethylene glycol of list or single end capped oxyethane and the feed ratio adding polymeric kettle of epoxy propane copolymer by mass ratio 0.5~5; after the sealing; under nitrogen protection; 120~160 ℃ of decompressions dewatered 2~4 hours; the stannous octoate that adds 0.01~0.1 part; or tin protochloride; or Catalyzed by p-Toluenesulfonic Acid agent; be lower than the pressure of 20mmHg, 160 ℃~200 ℃ were reacted 8~30 hours down.Crude product with the chloroform dissolving, carries out precipitating at the mixing solutions that adds 4~10 parts 1: 4 acetone of volume ratio below 10 ℃ then under 20 ℃~30 ℃, centrifugation or decompress filter obtain the PEG-b-PLA amphiphilic diblock copolymer.
It is 75%~90% lactic acid aqueous solution that above-mentioned lactic acid can directly use purity, and the lactic acid kind is L-lactic acid, D-lactic acid, D, L-lactic acid.
The end capped polyoxyethylene glycol of above-mentioned list comprises single end capped polyethyleneglycol derivative such as polyalkylene glycol monoalkyl ether, polyalkylene glycol monoalkyl ester, and single end capped oxyethane and epoxy propane copolymer comprise alkyl oxide or end capped oxyethane of alkyl ester list and epoxy propane copolymer.
The consumption of lactic acid and polyoxyethylene glycol unit is bigger to the performance impact of multipolymer, and along with the increase of lactic acid consumption, multipolymer hydrophobic segment relative molecular weight increases, and the dispersive ability of multipolymer in water weakened.The feed ratio of lactic acid and polyoxyethylene glycol is preferably in 0.5~5 scope.
The PEG-b-PLA amphiphilic diblock copolymer macromole of the inventive method preparation can spontaneously be assembled into nanometer ball in water.The determination of light scattering result shows the size of PEG-b-PLA self-assembly microspheres in water between 40~200nm, and has narrower size distribution (dispersion index<0.2).The particle diameter of PEG-b-PLA self-assembled nanometer ball is relevant with the ratio and the molecular weight of two blocks, and generally the increase with hydrophilic section PEG ratio reduces, and increases with the increase of molecular weight.By ratio and the molecular weight of regulating two blocks, can obtain the PEG-b-PLA nanometer ball of different-grain diameter.
PEG-b-PLA is biological degradation in vivo, and degraded product is nontoxic, and therefore, the PEG-b-PLA amphipathic nature block polymer of the inventive method preparation can be used as a kind of good pharmaceutical carrier, is the good auxiliary material of exploitation hydrophobic drug nanometer formulation.
