Abstract:

To design a new magnetic resonance(MR) imaging contrast agent of atherosclerosis, poly(glycidyl methacrylate)-graft-ethane diamine(PGMA-g-EDA) was prepared by the ring-opening reaction of PGMA which was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization(ATRP). Poly-ethylene glycol(PEG) and dextran sulfate(DS) were graft modified to PGMA-g-EDA continuously via amidation reaction and reductive amination to synthesis PGMA-EDA-g-PEG-g-DS. The structure and properties of PGMA-EDA-g-PEG-g-DS were characterized through nuclear magnetic resonance(1H NMR). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and gel permeation chromatography(GPC). The superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles(IONPs) were coated with PGMA-EDA-g-PEG-g-DS by ligand exchange to prepare water-soluble IO. The transmission electron microscopy(TEM) analysis indicated that micelles were well dispersed in water and had uniform sizes. The result of thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) indicated that about 70%(mass fraction) polymers coated on the surface of IO. The cell counting kit(CCK) assay showed no significant toxicity to RAW264.7. The above results confirm that PGMA-EDA-g-PEG-g-DS@IO can be used as a potential contrast agent for atherosclerosis MR imaging.
