Ultra-sensitive ROS-responsive Tellurium-containing Polymers

Posted on March 22, 2015May 22, 2017 by wanglu

Wei Cao, Yuwei Gu, Tianyu Li and Huaping Xu Chem. Commun., 2015, 51, 7069-7071. A novel tellurium-containing polymer micelle system is reported to be responsive to 100 μM H2O2 and can undergo a series of morphological changes. The polymer micelles also respond to 2 Gy gamma radiation, which is the exact dosage a patient receives one day for clinical radiation therapy.

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)-Responsive Tellurium-Containing Hyperbranched Polymer

Posted on March 19, 2015May 22, 2017 by wanglu

Ruochen Fang, Huaping Xu, Wei Cao, Liulin Yang and Xi Zhang Polym. Chem., 2015, 6, 2817-2821. Materials responsive to reactive oxygen species (ROS) at a physiological level are of great significance in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. We have synthesized a water-soluble tellurium-containing hyperbranched polymer and demonstrated that it forms a kind of ROS-responsive aggregate. In aqueous environment, the polymer aggregates can swell under biologically relevant concentration of H2O2, which could be expected to find applications in fields such as elimination of excess ROS.
