Abstract

Polyethylene glycol derivatives, such as block copolymers of polyethylene glycol and diacyllipids (for example, phosphatidylethanolamine) are widely used for surface modification of various pharmaceutical carriers in order to impart them longevity in the body. To make polyethylene glycol detachable from the surface of pharmaceutical carrier and facilitate the interaction of the carrier with target cells when in pathological zone, we have prepared a set of polyethylene glycol-phosphatidylethanolamine block copolymers with the pH sensitive hydrazone bond between polyethylene glycol and phosphatidylethanolamine, which destabilizes at lowered pH values typical for tumors and inflammation zones. We have demonstrated that the stability of the hydrazone bond at normal physiological pH (7.4) as well as the rate of its hydrolysis at pH 6 and below strongly depend on the type of substitutions at this bond. Using aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes and ketones, polyethylene glycol-phosphatidylethanolamine block copolymers were prepared with different stabilities and degradation rates, which can be useful in constructing stimuli-sensitive pharmaceutical carriers.
