Abstract:
:This paper reports the synthesis of hyaluronan (HA) and its derivatives via the hyaluronidase-catalyzed polymerization of 2-substituted oxazoline derivative monomers designed as "transition-state analogue substrates". Polymerization of 2-methyl oxazoline monomer from N-acetylhyalobiuronate (GlcAbeta(1-->3)GlcNAc) effectively proceeded at pH 7.5 and 30 degrees C, giving rise to synthetic HA (natural type) in an optimal yield of 78% via ring-opening polyaddition under total control of regioselectivity and stereochemistry. Hyaluronidase catalysis enabled the polymerization of 2-ethyl, 2-n-propyl, and 2-vinyl monomers, affording the corresponding HA derivatives (unnatural type) with N-propionyl, N-butyryl, and N-acryloyl functional groups, respectively, at the C2 position of all glucosamine units in good yields. The 2-isopropyl oxazoline derivative provided the N-isobutyryl derivative of HA in low yields. Monomers of 2-phenyl and 2-isopropenyl oxazoline derivatives were not polymerized. The mechanism of the polymerization is discussed.
