Abstract:

A series of novel thermo-sensitive hydrogels based on N-isopropylacrylamide(NIPAM) containing L-leucine groups was designed and synthesized for chiral recognition. L-Leucine used as chiral pool, the chiral monomer N-acryloyl-L-leucine methyl ester(NALL) was obtained by sterifization with methanol to protect carboxyl group and then condensation with acryloyl chloride in the presence of trirthylamine in N,N-dimethylfo-mamid(DMF)and gave the chiral monomers N-acryloyl-L-leucine methyl ester(NALL), whose structure was characterized by infrared(IR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance(1H NMR). Then the subsequent copolymerization was carried on between NALL as chiral recognition units, NIPAM and N,N'-methylenebisacry-lamide(MBAA) as linkage agent in the presence of azobisisobutyronitrile(AIBN) in ethanol with different mass ratios. The P(NIPAM-co-NALL) hydrogels were identified by IR. The swelling behavior, deswelling and reswelling kinetics of the chiral hydrogels were studied, and the results showed that all the P(NIPAM-co-NALL) hydrogels exhibited evident temperature-sensitivity. Due to the hydrophobicity of NALL incorporated into the structure of the chiral gels, the thermo-sensitivity of the chiral gels was lower than that of PNIPAM gel. The chiral selective adsorption and chiral recognition performance were also investigated by D, L-phenylalanine(D, L-Phe) as model drugs. The results indicated that compared with PNIPAM gel, the chiral gels performed higher adsorption rate and larger adsorption quantities for D-Phe enantiomers. Increasing the contents of chiral monomer or the controlling temperature would improve the chiral recognizable capacity and efficiency of resolution. Furthermore, P(NIPAM-co-NALL) hydrogels could be reused, which remained the chiral recognition property after three-times reuse although the absorption capacity decreased to 27.6% of the original.
