Embodiment 1

[0197] Example 1: Synthesis of Polymer (1)

[0198]

[0199] Symbols and groups: T=D, L-α-tocopherol, p=s=11, q=198

[0200] 10 g of poly(glutamic acid) with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 220 optionally incorporated with 5% of racemic α-tocopherol was dissolved in 125 ml of NMP at 80°C. The solution was cooled to 0°C, and 8.7 ml of isobutyl chloroformate and 7.35 ml of N-methylmorpholine were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 15 min. At the same time, 24.67 g of arginine amide dihydrochloride was suspended in 308 ml of NMP, and 14.7 ml of triethylamine was added. The resulting suspension was stirred at 20°C for several minutes and then cooled to 0°C. Then, a milky suspension of activated polymer was added to this suspension and the reaction mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 2 h and then at 20 °C overnight. 2.1 ml of 35% HCl solution was added, followed by 100 ml of water. The reaction mixture was dropped dropwise into 1.6 l of water. The solution ...

[0202]

[0203] Symbols and groups: T=D, L-α-tocopherol, p=s=6, q=108

[0204] 3.5 g of poly(glutamic acid) with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 120 optionally incorporated with 5% of racemic α-tocopherol was dissolved in 70 ml of NMP at 80°C. The solution was cooled to 0° C., and 3.2 g of isobutyl chloroformate and 2.37 g of N-methylmorpholine were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 10 min. Meanwhile, 4.62 g of N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-1,4-butanediamine (BOC-putrescine) was dissolved in 9 ml of NMP, followed by cooling to 0°C. A milky suspension of activated polymer was then added to this solution and the reaction mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 2 h and then at 20 °C overnight. After adding 0.7 ml of 35% HCl solution, the reaction mixture was dropped dropwise into 317 ml of water. The resulting solution was adjusted to pH = 7.4 with 1N sodium hydroxide solution, then dialyzed against aqueous saline soluti...

[0206]

[0207] Symbols and groups: T=D, L-α-tocopherol, p=11, q=88, r=99, s=22

[0208] 10 g of poly(glutamic acid) with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 220, optionally conjugated with 5% of racemic α-tocopherol, was dissolved in 125 ml of NMP at 80°C. The solution was cooled to 0°C, and 9.1 ml of isobutyl chloroformate and 7.71 ml of N-methylmorpholine were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 15 min. At the same time, 8.2 g of arginine amide dihydrochloride was suspended in 103 ml of NMP, and 9.31 ml of triethylamine was added. A further 1.6 ml of ethanolamine were added and the resulting suspension was stirred at 20°C for several minutes and then cooled to 0°C. Then, a milky suspension of activated polymer was added to this suspension and the reaction mixture was stirred at 0 °C for 2 h. 1.2 ml of ethanolamine were added, followed by stirring overnight at 20°C. 2.1 ml of 35% HCl solution and 200 ml of ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to novel biodegradable materials based on modified polyamino acids that can be used, in particular, for the vectorization of active principle(s) (PA). The invention alsorelates to novel pharmaceutical, cosmetic, dietetic or phytosanitary compositions based on these polyamino acids. The objective of the invention is to provide a novel polymer starting material that iscapable of being used for the AP vectorization and that makes it possible to optimally satisfy all the specifications required in the case in point: biocompatibility, biodegradability, ability to associate easily with numerous active principles or to dissolve them, and to release these active principles in vivo. This objective is achieved by the present invention, which relates to novel polyglutamates modified by cationic groups that, if they can be deprotonated, have a pKa greater than or equal to 7, and by hydrophobic groups comprising from 8 to 30 carbon atoms. These polyglutamates modified by cationic groups are capable of being easily and economically converted into particles for the vectorization of active principles, these particles being themselves capable of forming stable aqueous colloidal suspensions. These modified polyglutamates have the advantage of being less viscous than other similar polymers, while retaining an ability to associate proteins such as insulin. Some aresoluble in water at acid pH and become insoluble at physiological pH (7.4) and should therefore, during a subcutaneous injection, precipitate at the injection site.
