GlycoCLICK™-based Polyamidoamine Polycationic Scaffold Preparation Service
Advanced Polymer Synthesis: Polyamidoamine Polycationic Scaffold Development with Click Chemistry
Click chemistry is a powerful tool for synthesizing Functional Polymer Materials. It usually has a fast reaction rate and a high degree of selectivity, which makes the synthesis process more precise and reduces the occurrence of side reactions. CD BioGlyco has first-class experimental facilities and technology platforms, and our technical teams provide you with high-level polyamidoamine polycationic scaffold preparation service.
The preparation of polyamidoamine polycationic scaffold usually involves the following steps:
- Design appropriate monomers: We select appropriate monomers containing cationic groups to construct polyamidoamine scaffolds. Commonly used monomers include ethylenediamine, pentamethylenediamine, etc.
- Synthesis of polyamidoamine scaffold: We react to the selected monomer with an appropriate amount of cross-linking agent to form a polyamidoamine scaffold. The molecular weight of the scaffold is adjusted by controlling the molar ratio of monomers and cross-linking agents as well as the reaction time in the reaction conditions. Click technology is a method for precise synthesis of polymer materials that assembles small molecular units into polymers with specific structures and functions under specific reaction conditions. We use click chemistry technology to introduce functional groups or cross-linking agents during the preparation process of polyamidoamine polycationic scaffolds to increase the diversity and functionality of the material.
- Introducing functional groups: We use copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction or strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) reaction to introduce specific functional groups into the existing polyamidoamine polycationic scaffold, which includes the introduction of targeting ligands, fluorescent markers, bioactive molecules, etc., to impart specific functionality to the material.
- Introducing cross-linkers: Click chemistry is also used to introduce cross-linkers into polyamidoamine scaffolds to increase the stability and mechanical strength of the material. For example, we select a cross-linking agent with an alkyne functional group and perform a click reaction with the azide functional group on the polyamidoamine scaffold to form a cross-linked structure, thereby changing the physical properties of the scaffold.
Polyamidoamine Polycationic Scaffold Performance Evaluation Service at CD BioGlyco
We will evaluate the prepared polyamidoamine polycationic scaffold through a variety of advanced techniques.
- Chargeability: We measure the surface potential or charge density of polyamidoamine polycationic scaffold by potentiometric titration to evaluate its polycationic nature and charge stability.
- Molecular weight: We use gel permeation chromatography (GPC) to determine the molecular weight distribution, average molecular weight, and aggregation state of the polyamidoamine polycationic scaffold, which helps to understand the molecular structure and degree of polymerization of the material.
- Solubility and solution stability: We measure the solubility and stability of polyamidoamine polycationic scaffold in different solvents to evaluate its usability and stability under different environmental conditions.
- Biocompatibility and cytotoxicity assessment: We perform cytotoxicity tests on polyamidoamine polycationic scaffold to evaluate the material's compatibility with living organisms.
- Functional property evaluation: In addition, we use various in vitro or in vivo experiments to evaluate the functional properties of materials, such as drug delivery performance.

Results: The authors developed novel bioorthogonal materials through copper-free click chemistry. They functionalized polyamidoamine (PAMAM) molecules (G4) with dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) to obtain clickable dendrimers. It was then mixed with polyethylene glycol bisazide (PEG-BA) in water, and the SPAAC reaction was performed at room temperature. Dendrimer-PEG cross-linked scaffolds were generated without the need for catalysts for applications in local drug delivery.
