Lipase-Catalyzed Synthesis of Monoundecenoyl, Di- oligo (Ricinoleyl) Triacylglycerol and Chemical Conjugation of Acid-Functionalized Poly(Ethylene) Glycol Monomethyl Ether to Oligo (Ricinoleic) Acid to Enable the ‘Green’ Preparation of Amphiphilic Star Polymers
Chemo-enzymatic synthesis of unimolecular polymeric micelles (UPMs) is proposed for their potential utilization as drug delivery vehicles in dilute aqueous solutions. The UPMs are star polymers consisting of a hydrophobic core and hydrophilic corona. The core consists of multiple oligo(ricinoleic ac...
