Polymers from Functional Macrolactones as Potential Biomaterials: Enzymatic Ring Opening Polymerization, Biodegradation, and Biocompatibility
Abstract
We systematically investigated a series of polymers derived from macrolactones, namely, pentadecalactone, hexadecalactone, and their unsaturated analogues ambrettolide and globalide as potential biomaterials. By enzymatic ring-opening polymerization these monomers can conveniently be polymerized to high molecular weight. The polymers are highly crystalline with melting points around 95 degrees C for the saturated polymers and lower melting points for the unsaturated polymers (46-55 degrees C). All polymers are nontoxic as measured by an MTT assay for metabolic cell activity of a 3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line. Degradation studies showed no hydrolytic or enzymatic degradability of the polymers, which was ascribed to the high crystallinity and hydrophobicity of the materials. The unsaturated polymers were cross-linked in the melt, yielding fully amorphous transparent materials with a gel content of 97%.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
