To expand the extent of conjugation with biologically active molecules (biopolymers, peptides, drugs, etc.) and biomaterial substrates, we synthesized a serial of poly (ethy1ene glycol) (PEG) derivatives (PEG-2000-NH2, MPEG-1200-NH2, and APEG-1200-NH2) in three efficient steps. The end groups were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing of microfluidic devices continuously replaces conventional fabrication methods. A versatile tool for achieving microscopic feature sizes and short process times is micro-stereolithography (µSL). However, common resins for µSL lack biocompatibility and are cytotoxic. This work focuses on developing new photo-curable resins as a basis for µSL fabrication of polymer materials and surfaces for cell culture. Different acrylate- and methacrylate-based compositions are screened for material characteristics including wettability, surface roughness, and swelling behavior. For further understanding, the impact of photo-absorber and photo-initiator on the cytotoxicity of 3D-printed substrates is studied. Cell culture experiments with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in standard polystyrene vessels are compared to 3D-printed parts made from our library of homemade resins. Among these, after optimizing material composition and post-processing, we identify selected mixtures of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ethyl methacrylate (PEGMEMA) as most suitable to allow for fabricating cell culture platforms that retain both the viability and proliferation of HUVECs. Next, our PEGDA/PEGMEMA resins will be further optimized regarding minimal feature size and cell adhesion to fabricate microscopic (microfluidic) cell culture platforms, e.g., for studying vascularization of HUVECs in vitro.

This paper investigates the transesterification of methyl 3-mercaptopropionate (MP-SH) with tetraethylene glycol (TEG) and poly(ethylene glycol)s (PEG)s catalyzed by Candida antarctica Lipase B (CALB) without the use of solvent (in bulk). The progress of the reactions was monitored by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. We found that the reactions proceeded in a step-wise manner, first producing monothiols. TEG-monothiol was obtained in 15 min, while conversion to dithiol took 8 h. Monothiols from PEGs with Mn = 1000 and 2050 g/mol were obtained in 8 and 16 h, respectively. MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry verified the absence of dithiols. The synthesis of dithiols required additional fresh CALB and MP-SH. The structure of the products was confirmed by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Enzyme catalysis was found to be a powerful tool to effectively synthesize thiol-functionalized TEGs and PEGs.
