Abstract

Polysarcosine (psar) is a non-ionic hydrophilic polypeptoid with numerous biologically relevant properties. Polysarcosine is poly (n-methylated glycine) and has been reported first by Weslay and co-workers in the 1920s. Polysarcosine was first synthesized via ring-opening polymerization (rop) of sarcosine n-carboxyanhydride, using high-vacuum techniques. Overall, findings highlight the potential of poly(sarcosine) as an alternative corona-forming polymer to poly (ethylene glycol)-based analogues of (polymerization-induced self-assembly) pisa assemblies for use in various pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Numerous studies suggested that such polypeptoids hold enormous potential for many biomedical applications, including protein delivery, colloidal stabilization, and nanomedicine.
