Poly(maleic anhydride-co-styrene) (MAST), poly(maleic
anhydride-co-vinyl acetate) (MAVA), poly(maleic
anhydride-co-methyl methacrylate) (MAMMA), poly(maleic
anhydride-co-allyl phenyl ether) (MAAFE) and poly(maleic
anhydride-alt-acrylic acid) (MAAA) copolymers were
synthesized by free radical chain polymerization reaction.
Modification/derivatization of the copolymers with active
pharmaceutical ingredients, in amine form (-NH2), was performed by the ring opening reaction. Structural
characterization of the copolymers and the conjugated
products was carried out by Fourier Transform Infrared
(FTIR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR). The
FTIR and 1H-NMR spectra, confirmed that pharmaceutically
active agents were covalently bonded to the MAVA
copolymer in a succesfull manner. Furthermore cytotoxicity
on healthy fibroblast cell lines, antiproliferative activity on
cancer cell lines and antibacterial activity on bacterial strains
were also investigated in-vitro for synthesized conjugates.
MAVA copolymer was also selected the most suitable carrier
for modification/derivaritization process by comparing its
affinity to the pharmaceutically active agents.
