Abstract:
The syntheses of 11-methacroylaminoundecanoyl-l-alanyl-d-isoglutamine (3) and 2-[2-(11-methacroylaminoundecanoyl)-aminoethoxy]propanoyl-l-alanyl-d-isoglutamine (13) are described. Each of these monomers has been copolymerized with 11-methacroyloxyundecyltrimethylammonium bromide (16), yielding polymeric vesicles that contain partial structures of N-acetylmuramyl dipeptide (MDP). All products have been characterized by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy and the polymeric vesicles have been studied by electron microscopy. The potential use of these structures as immunostimulating products is discussed. © 1990.
