Abstract

In this paper, we used L-aspartic acid, dimethyl tartrate and propionic anhydride as raw materials to prepare a new thermo-sensitive poly(N-propionyl-L-aspartic acid-co-dimethyl tartrate) (PPADT). The chemical structures of the intermediates, monomer and polymer have been confirmed by FTIR and 1H NMR measurements. UV spectrum data showed the thermo-sensitivity of PPADT and its UCST was tunable via changing the ratio of methanol and water. It was consistent with the phenomenon of reentrant phase separation. Besides, we found that PPADT had no cytotoxicity. The survival rate of HeLa cells was more than 85% in all cases. The results suggested that poly(N-propionyl-L-aspartic acid-co-dimethyl tartrate) was a new promising material with good biocompatibility and thermo-sensitivity.
