Today, there are many medical applications for compounds containing the thiazole moiety owing to their presence in most clinically applied anticancer drugs, such as dasatinib, dabrafenib, ixabepilone, patellamide A and epothilone. In this study, the polycondensation, of a new group of thiazole-containing polyamides with the formulas PA<sub>1-4</sub> was carried out by the interaction of 2-aminothiazole diphenyl sulfide and variable diacid chlorides in dimethyl formamide in the presence of potassium carbonate anhydrous as a catalyst. Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was initially used to figure out the PA<sub>1-4</sub> structures, which were further characterized using solubility, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), X-ray diffraction analyses (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The solubility results revealed that the presence of heteroaromatic thiazole ring units and sulfur content in the polyamides main chain, made the solubility easier as it increases the chain packing distance. From the values of average molecular weight, it was clear that all synthesized polyamides have almost the same chain length which ranged from 37,561.80 to 39,827.66. Moreover, the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirm that PA<sub>1-4</sub> were thermally stable even at high temperatures especially the polyamides which were synthesized from aromatic diacid chlorides. Furthermore, the newly synthesized polyamides were investigated for their antimicrobial properties against different species of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and also against different fungi. The results revealed that compound PA<sub>2</sub> showed the highest antibacterial activity. Also, their inhibitory activity against breast carcinoma cells (MCF-7 cell line) and colon carcinoma cells (HCT cell line) was evaluated. It was clear that there was an enhancement in the anticancer activity for the synthesized polyamides owing to the presence of the thiazole moiety as well as sulfur linkage. According to the results of the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50), the synthesized polymers were found to be more active against the MCF-7 cell line than the HCT cell line.</p>","PeriodicalId":11170,"journal":{"name":"Designed Monomers and Polymers","volume":"26 1","pages":"150-162"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/5a/c1/TDMP_26_2205734.PMC10171123.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10563583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, an intraoperative visible vascular embolization material with good embolization effect and biocompatibility can improve transcatheter arterial embolization clinical efficacy to some extent. Our study aimed to synthesize a novel vascular embolization material that can achieve complete embolization of arterial trunks and peripheral vessels, namely poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide)-<i>co</i>-acrylic acid nanogel (NIPAM-<i>co</i>-AA). Iohexol 200 mg/mL was co-assembled with 7 wt% NIPAM-<i>co</i>-AA nanogel to create an intelligent thermosensitive radiopaque nanogel (INCA), which achieves a good intraoperative imaging effect and is convenient for transcatheter arterial bolus injection due to its good fluidity and temperature-sensitive sol-gel phase transition. The normal rabbit kidney embolism model further confirmed that INCA could effectively use Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) to achieve intraoperative imaging, and real-time monitoring of the embolization process could avoid mis-embolization and leakage. Meanwhile, in a 42-day study, INCA demonstrated an excellent embolization effect on the right renal artery of New Zealand white rabbits, with no vascular recanalization and ischemic necrosis and calcification remaining. As a result, this radiopaque thermosensitive nanogel has the potential to be an intelligent thermosensitive medical vascular embolization material, providing dual benefits in TAE intraoperative imaging and long-term postoperative embolization while effectively addressing the shortcomings and challenges of commonly used clinical vascular embolization agents.</p>","PeriodicalId":11170,"journal":{"name":"Designed Monomers and Polymers","volume":"26 1","pages":"31-44"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9858417/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10635618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
