Abstract

New polyvinylsaccharides containing primary or tertiary amino groups were synthesized by radical copolymerization of 2-deoxy-2-methacrylamido-D-glucose (MAG) with 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, 2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DEAEM), or allylamine hydrochloride. The reactivity ratios of comonomers were determined. The effect of copolymer composition on the conformational properties of macromolecules was detected. For MAG-DEAEM copolymers with DEAEM unit content more than 60 mol-% the increase of degree of ionization causes conformational transition at α = 0.3 to 0.7 from compact polymer coil to loose coil due to the electrostatic repulsion of charged amino groups. The increase of MAG content in copolymers is accompanied by a decrease of their cytotoxicity.
