A modular designed copolymer with anti-thrombotic activity and imaging capability

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Aug 28;50(67):9539-42. doi: 10.1039/c4cc04649h.

Abstract

Through a modular ROMP (ring-opening metathesis polymerization) strategy, a random copolymer with anti-thrombotic activity and imaging capability has been constructed from RGD, rhodamine B and PEG modified norbornene monomers. As we expected, these tri-component polynorbornenes exhibit significant enhancement in anti-thrombotic efficacy and bioavailability in vivo.
