Através de técnicas eletroquímicas (espectroscopia de impedância eletroquímica, resistência à polarização linear e curvas de polarização potenciodinâmica), gravimétrica e analítica, compostos orgânicos foram estudados para avaliar suas possibilidades de emprego como inibidores de corrosão. Poliglicerol hiper-ramificado puro, modificado com dicloro-fosfato, funcionalizado com grupo tiol, funcionalizado com grupo sulfeto e com grupo sulfonato de potássio - foram os compostos sintetizados e testados. Além desses, compostos comerciais, um contendo a função fosfinato e outro a função imidazolina quaternária foram testados com o mesmo intuito. Isotermas de adsorção foram ajustadas aos dados obtidos para imidazolina quaternária. Para simular condições próximas às encontradas na produção de petróleo, água do mar sintética acidificada com ácido clorídrico até pH 3 foi o meio utilizado, tendo o aço carbono 1020 empregado como substrato metálico. O Poliglicerol hiper-ramificado gerou resultados eletroquímicos e gravimétricos que mostraram que em concentrações de até 600 ppm desse composto o processo corrosivo é incentivado ao invés de ser desacelerado, indicando que tal composto não deve ser usado como inibidor de corrosão. O Poliglicerol hiper-ramificado modificado com dicloro-fosfato apresentou resultados insatisfatórios para as condições testadas tanto nos ensaios eletroquímicos como nos gravimétricos. Nas concentrações de 200, 400 e 600 ppm desse composto, a concentração intermediária é a única que diminui ligeiramente a taxa de corrosão, e para as demais concentrações a corrosão é incentivada. Os ensaios eletroquímicos das outras três moléculas obtidas por funcionalização do poliglicerol hiper-ramificado com grupos tiol, sulfonato e sulfeto indicaram aumento da deterioração do substrato. Os resultados de impedância eletroquímica indicaram que o composto à base de fosfinato e na concentração de 2000 ppm e maiores tempos de imersão resultaram em melhores resultados protetores. O ajuste dos dados às isotermas de adsorção para a imidazolina quaternária apresentou melhores resultados para o modelo de Flory-Huggins, porém, os elevados valores de coeficiente de determinação R2 das isotermas de Langmuir e Temkin também permitem dizer que tais modelos de adsorção são seguidos. / Organic compounds were studied by lectrochemical (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, linear polarization resistance and potenciodynamic polarization curves), analytical and gravimetric techniques, to analyze the possibilities of their use as corrosion inhibitors. Hyper branched polyglycerol only and modified with dichloro-phosphate, functionalized with thiol group, functionalized with sulfide and also with sulphonate group were synthesized and tested as corrosion inhibitors. Furthermore, commercial compounds, one based on phosphinate and a quaternary imidazoline were tested with the same objective. Adsorption isotherms were adjusted to the data obtained for quaternary imidazoline. To simulate the conditions close to those found in petroleum production, synthetic sea water acidified with hydrochloric acid up to pH 3 was the medium used, with 1020 carbon steel used as a metal substrate. The hyper branched polyglycerol generated electrochemical and gravimetric results which showed that, in concentrations up to 600 ppm of this compound, the corrosive process is favored rather than decelerated, indicating that this compound should not be used as a corrosion inhibitor. The hyper branched polyglycerol modified with dichloro-phosphate presented unsatisfactory results for the tested conditions for both electrochemical and gravimetric measurements. At concentrations of 200, 400 and 600 ppm of this compound, the intermediate concentration is the only one that slightly decreases the corrosion rate, and for the other concentrations corrosion is favored. The electrochemical measurements for the other three molecules obtained by functionalization of the hyper branched polyglycerol with thiol, sulphonate and sulfide groups indicated an increase on the substrate deterioration. The electrochemical impedance results showed that the compound based on phosphinate at 2000 ppm concentration and for higher immersion times resulted in better protective results. The adjustment of the data of the adsorption isotherms for quaternary imidazoline presented better results for the Flory-Huggins model. However, the high values of correlation factor R2 of Langmuir and Temkin isotherms show that these adsorption models are also followed.

Diversos mecanismos celulares estão associados à patogênese do Carcinoma Epidermoide de Cabeça e Pescoço (CECP). Algumas dessas alterações envolvem proteínas pertencentes à via de sinalização do Akt, e o fator de transcrição NF-kB, o qual têm importante papel na fisiologia normal e no câncer. A proteína COX-2, descrita em processos inflamatórios, também participa da carcinogênese e está associada com a via de sinalização do Akt e com o NF-kB. Dendrímeros são uma forma única de nanotecnologia, surgindo como nanotransportadores com a capacidade de penetrar na célula tumoral liberando drogas quimioterápicas em seu interior. Os benefícios desta tecnologia são o aumento da eficicácia do princípio ativo utilizado e a redução dos seus efeitos secundários tóxicos. O Celecoxibe, antiinflamatório não esteroidal, inibidor seletivo da COX-2, tem se mostrado um importante agente anticarcinogênico, no entanto seu mecanismo de ação no CECP não é totalmente compreendido. Neste trabalho, um Dendrímero de Poliglicerol associado ao Celecoxibe (PGLD-celecoxibe) foi sintetizado e caracterizado por técnicas de espectroscopia ¹H-RMN, ¹³C-RMN, Maldi-Tof, TLC e DSC. Além disso, o conjugado foi testado in vitro em três linhagens celulares de CECP. O PGLD-Celecoxibe foi sintetizado com sucesso e promoveu a redução da dose capaz de inibir a proliferação celular, reduzindo o IC 50 do Celecoxibe de forma significativa em todas as linhagens celulares, se aproximando da dose sérica alcançada por este medicamento, resultado corroborado pelo Ensaio de Migração Celular. O mecanismo de morte celular observado foi a apoptose, associada a diminuição significativa da expressão de COX-2 ou por uma via alternativa independente. Alguns dos grupos tratados apresentaram alteração na expressão das proteínas pAkt e NF-kB. / Several cellular mechanisms are associated with the pathogenesis of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC). Some of these alterations involve proteins in the Akt signaling pathway and the transcription factor NF-kB, which plays an important role in normal physiology and in cancer. COX-2 protein, described in inflammatory processes, and also involved in the carcinogenesis is associated with the Akt signaling pathway and the NF-kB. Dendrimers are a unique form of nanotechnology, emerging as nanocarriers with the ability to penetrate the tumor cell releasing chemotherapeutic. This technology increases the active substance efficiency and reduces its toxic side effects. Celecoxib, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, selective inhibitor of COX-2 has been shown to be an important anticancer agent, but its action mechanism in HNSCC is not fully understood. A polyglycerol dendrimer linked to celecoxib (PGLD-Celecoxibe) was synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR,TLD, DSC and Maldi-Tof techniques. In addition, in vitro assays were performed in three HNSCC cell lines The PGLD-Celecoxibe was successfully synthesized and provided a decrease in the dose able to inhibit cell proliferation reducing the IC 50 index of Celecoxib significantly in all cell lines, approaching to the serum dose achieved for this product, result supported by Wound Healing Assay. The cell death mechanism observed was apoptosis, which can be associated with significant reduction of expression of COX-2 also may be occurring by a COX-2 independent pathway. Some of the treated groups showed alterations in pAkt and NF-kB proteins expression.

L’objectif de ce travail a été de procéder au design de nouvelles structures hyperramifiées en procédant à la synthèse de polymères à base de glycidol utilisables dans l’élaboration de copolymères biodégradables, de macromonomères fonctionnels et de nanocomposites magnétiques biocompatibles. Une première partie de ces travaux s’est intéressée, à la synthèse de macromonomères hyperramifiés amorcés par l’hydroxyéthyle méthacrylate (HEMA), l’hydroxyéthyle acrylate (HEA) et le polyéthylène glycol méthacrylate (PEGMA), par polymérisation anionique, anionique coordinée ou cationique du glycidol. La synthèse de macromonomères poly(ε-caprolactone) en présence de différents systèmes catalytiques et amorceurs a également été investiguée. Cette partie se termine par la synthèse de dendrigrafts issus de la polymérisation de ces macromonomères, par voie radicalaire classique ou contrôlée (RAFT/ATRP). La seconde partie de ce travail a été consacrée à la synthèse de copolymères hyperramifiés biocompatibles obtenus par copolymérisation statistique du glycidol en présence d’ε-caprolactone, en vu de l’obtention de copolymères hydrolysables. L’impact de la structure sur les propriétés physico-chimiques des copolymères obtenus a été étudié. Enfin, le caractère biodégradable de ces polymères a été investigué à travers différents tests de dégradation enzymatique. Enfin, ce travail s’est focalisé sur l’élaboration de nanocomposites magnétiques biocompatibles par la synthèse de nanoparticules magnétiques, puis l’immobilisation de polymères linéaires ou hyperramifiés à leur surface selon différentes méthodes de greffage chimique. / The aim of this work was to proceed to the design of new hyperbranched structures through the synthesis of glycidol-based polymers which can be used in the development of biodegradable copolymers, functional macromonomers and biocompatible magnetic nanocomposites. The first part of this work was the synthesis of hyperbranched macromonomer initiated by hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) and polyethylene glycol methacrylate (PEGMA), through the study of the synthesis of polyglycerol (PG) by anionic, anionic coordinated and cationic polymerization of glycidol. Synthesis of poly (ε-caprolactone) macromonomers in the presence of various catalyst systems and initiators was also investigated. This part ends by the synthesis of dendrigrafts derived from the copolymerization of the macromonomers, by free radical polymerization or by controlled radical polymerization. The 2nd part of this work has been devoted to the synthesis of hyperbranched biocompatible copolymers obtained by random copolymerization of glycidol with ε-caprolactone in order to obtain hydrolyzable copolymers. The impact of the structure of the copolymers on their physico-chemical properties was then investigated. The biodegradable behavior of these polymers was then investigated through different enzymatic degradation tests. Finally, this work was focused on the development of biocompatible magnetic nanocomposites by the synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles and the immobilization of linear or hyperbranched polymers on their surface by different chemical grafting methods.

Nanodiamanty (250 nm) boli podrobené oxidácií, a tiež separované podľa veľkosti. Následne bola na povrch nanodiamantov adsorbovaná rozvetvená vrstva polyglycerolu. Táto vrstva vzniká kyslo katalyzovanou ,,ring opening“ polymeráciou glycidolu s hydroxylovými a karboxylovými skupinami povrchu nanodiamantov. Vzniknutá polyglycerolová vrstva zvyšuje stabilitu a biokompatibilitu nanodiamantov. Po vytvorení polyglycerolovej vrstvy bol do reakcie pridaný glycidyl propargyl éter, čím došlo k terminácií polymerácie, v dôsledku zavedenia propargylu do reakcie. Prítomná trojná väzba umožňuje nové modifikácie povrchu, napr. prostredníctvom CuAAC reakcie. S využitím CuAAC reakcie je možné na povrch fluorescenčných nanodiamantov pripojiť manózu (so spojkou obsahujúcou azidoskupinu). Pripravené nanočastice boli charakterizované použitím fyzikálno chemických metód. Distribúcia veľkosti častíc bola meraná pomocou dynamického rozptylu svetla (DLS), a taktiež bola potvrdená obrazovou analýzou mikrografov z elektrónového transmisného mikroskopu (TEM). Vyhodnotené bolo aj správanie sa nanodiamantov v biologických podmienkach (stabilitné testy v 1xPBS, 10xPBS a 100 % FBS) a bol meraný aj zeta potenciál. Nakoniec boli pripravené fluorescenčné diamanty (250 nm) s naviazanou manózou. Vzhľadom k výsledkom termogravimetrie, meraniam DLS a pozorovania pomocou TEM môžeme povedať, pripravené nanodiamanty sú pokryté tenkou vrstvou polyglycerolu. Prítomnosť manózy bola zistená na základe FTIR spektier. Nami pripravené fluorescenčné nanodiamanty obalené vrstvou polyglycerolu sú vhodné pre ďalšie testovanie in vitro a in vivo vďaka ich stabilite v médiách s vysokým obsahom solí ako napr. fosfátový pufor (PBS) a nízkemu viazaniu proteínov vo fetalnom bovinnom sere (FBS).

Drei ausgewählt makromolekulare Systeme: DNA, amphiphile Block-Bürstenpolymere, und amphiphile, hyperverzweigte Polyglycerine wurden untersucht, um die Zusammenhang zwischen Struktur, Eigenschaften, und potentiellen Anwendung auf der Ebene einzelner Moleküle zu widmen. Unterschiedliche DNA Konformationen: (i) supercoiled DNA, (ii) gestreckte doppelsträngige DNA, die teilweise in zwei Einzelstränge aufgeschmolzen ist, (iii) DNA mit einem überdehnten Rückgrat, (iv) entspannter, ungedehnter Ring und (v) kompaktes Knäuel wurden untersucht, um direkt DNA Konformationen mit mechanischen Eigenschaften, wie der Kopplung von Streckung und Verdrillung zu korrelieren. Mit Hilfe eines Kraftmikroskops, mit dem man eine Kraft parallel zur Oberfläche anlegen kann, wurden die plasmidischen DNA Moleküle auf bis zum 2.1-fachen der ursprünglichen B-Form Länge gestreckt und dann gerissen. Die Strukturen einzelner Amphiphilen Block-Bürstenpolymere auf unterschiedlichen Oberflächen wurden investigiert. Aus Chloroform-Lösung auf Glimmer abgeschiedene Polymere wiesen wurmartige Konformationen auf. Wegen der unterschiedlichen Oberflächenaffinitäten der Seitenketten sind diese zu einem Teil kollabiert, während sich ein anderer Teil ausstreckt. Das an Kaulquappen erinnernde Ergebnis ist eine Struktur mit rückgefalteten Kettenteilen. Aus wässriger Lösung abgeschieden bilden diese amphiphilen Block-Bürstenpolymere supramolekulare Aggregate auf der Oberfläche. Die amphiphile Kern-Schale-Strukturen der hyperverzweigten Polyglycerinen und ihre Verkapselungs- und Transportkapazität für typische Gastmoleküle wie Nil Rot und Pyren wurden mit Hilfe von SFM, Lichtstreu-, und Spektroskopie-Methoden examiniert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Polymere verschiedene Gastmoleküle sowohl in unimolekulan Mizellen wie auch in polymeren Mizellen verkapseln und transportieren. Das Polymer ist ein vielversprechender Kandidat für die gleichzeitige Bereitstellung von zwei hydrophoben Pharmaka. / Three macromolecular systems: DNA, amphiphilic cylindrical polymer brushes, and amphiphilic core-shell structured hyperbranched polyglycerol (hPG) were investigated in order to investigate correlations between structure, properties and potential applications at the single molecule level. Different single DNA conformations: (i) supercoiled DNA, (ii) stretched DNA, partially melted into two single strands, (iii) DNA with an overstretched backbone, (iv) relaxed circles without stretching, and (v) compact coils were studied on the surface to directly correlate DNA conformations to mechanical properties such as twist-stretch coupling. The plasmid DNA molecules were stretched further, up to 2.1 times their original length and ruptured with a Scanning Force Microscope (SFM), exerting a force parallel to the surface. The structures of single cylindrical polymer brushes adsorbed on different surfaces were explored. The brush polymers reveal worm-like chain conformations on mica, after being deposited from a chloroform solution. Due to different affinities of the side chains to the surface, parts of the side chains collapsed, while others fully extended on the surface, resulting in a “tadpole like” or a back-folding structure. Deposited from an aqueous solution, the dual cylindrical polymer brushes form supramolecular aggregates on the surface. The supramolecular structure of hyperbranded polyglycerol and its encapsulation and transportation capacities for typical guest molecules, such as nile red and pyrene were examined by SFM, light scattering and spectroscopy methods. The polymer showed bi-functional carrier properties: it encapsulates and transports guest molecules in both, a “unimolecular micelle” and polymeric micelle type mechanism. The capacity of co-loading of two drugs and controlled release makes it a promising candidate for simultaneous delivery of two hydrophobic drugs in cancer combination therapy.

Les milieux réactionnels issus de l’étude de la réactivité de deux types de polyols, le glycérol et le diglycérol par réaction d’estérification directe avec l’acide undécylénique, catalysée par l’acide dodécylbenzène sulfonique (ADBS). Les résultats montrent que les ystèmes polyol/acide undécylénique donnent une émulsion eau dans huile (E/H). L’ajout de l’ADBS et de l’eau formée in-situ aux systèmes polyol/acide undécylénique ont permis de réduire la taille des gouttelettes de 50 μm à moins de 1 μm et d’obtenir un système organisé (micro-réacteur). L’augmentation de la température contribue à favoriser le transfert de matière dans les systèmes émulsionnés et / ou gélifiés et d’obtenir un système monophasique, homogène et structurés. L’étude de la réaction de ces systèmes avec une approche site à site (site OH / site COOH) a montré que lorsque le nombre de sites acides carboxyliques est inférieur à celui des sites hydroxyles, la synthèse est totalement sélective en esters partiels des deux polyols (glycérol et diglycérol). Les rendements sont supérieurs respectivement à 60% en esters partiels de glycérol et à 70% en esters partiels de diglycérol. La modélisation de la cinétique de synthèses et la régression des données cinétiques ont montré que la réaction est réversible d’ordre 2 et athermique. Les énergies d’activation calculées sont de 17 kcal/mol et 16 kcal/mol respectivement pour le monoundécénoate de glycérol (MUG) et le diundécénoate de glycérol (DUG). De plus, la méthodologie de recherche expérimentale a montrée que les variables (concentration en catalyseur ADBS et température) permettent d’obtenir le MUG avec un rendement de plus de 60% et une sélectivité en MUG de 80%. Ensuite, l’étude de la réactivité de la double liaison terminale du MUG en présence de deux agents oxydants pour engendrer des molécules bolaamphiphiles simples a été réalisée par H2O2 / acide formique et acide métachloroperbenzoïque (m-CPBA). Les résultats ont montré le 10,11-dihydroxy-monoundécénoate de glycérol (MUGDiol) est obtenu par oxydation au H2O2 / acide formique et le 10,11-époxy-monoundécénoate de glycérol (MUGE) par réaction d’époxydation avec la m-CPBA. L’ouverture de la fonction époxyde par des molécules aminées permet l’observation de nouvelles molécules bolaamphiphiles : le 10-hydroxy-N-11-((2-hydroxyéthyl)amino)monoundécénoate de glycérol(bola éthanolamineglycérol) et le N,N-11-(diaminobutan)-10-hydroxymonoundecanoate de glycérol (bola diaminobutaneglycérol). L’étude des propriétés physico-chimiques de ces molécules amphiphiles et bolaamphiphiles a permis de monter que toutes ces molécules sont de solvo-surfactants actifs aux interfaces et elles réduisent la tension interfaciale de l’eau jusqu’à la limite de la solubilité dans l’eau. L’adsorption des molécules ne vérifie pas le modèle de Gibbs. Le MUG et le MUDG s’auto-assemblent dans l’eau et donnent des nano-objets (vésicules et agrégats plats) et s’adsorbent sur des surfaces polaires et solides (silice et ciment). Ces deux molécules retiennent 30% et 56% molécules d’eau et le nombre de molécules d’eau fortement liée aux têtes polaires est de 21 et 49 respectivement pour le MUG et le MUDG. Pour es molécules bolaamphiphiles pures (MUGE et bola éthanolamineglycérol), elles retiennent plus de 56% de molécules d’eau et se lient à plus 53 molécules d’eau. L’ensemble de ces propriétés physico-chimiques a permis de répondre aux problématiques industrielles et de formuler un produit de cure, un agent de démoulage et un produit anti-adhérent. / This study is of the reactivity of two types of polyols (glycerol and diglycerol) by direct esterification reaction with undecylenic acid from castor oil. This reaction was catalyzed by dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (DBSA). The first step was to study of polyol / undecylenic acid reaction systems by physico-chemical approach. The result have shown that these systems give water-in-oil (W / O) emulsion. Adding DBSA and water formed in-situ in polyol/undecylenic acid systems have reduced droplet size from 50 microns to less than 1 μm and form an organized system (micro-reactor). Increasing temperature can simplify transfers in emulsified systems and / or melted gel and to get a monophasic and homogeneous system. The only systems and aided by water formed in-situ assists the organization and structuring of gels. The reaction study of these systems was analyzed by gas chromatography. This showed that when the number of carboxylic acid function sites is less than the hydroxyl function site, synthesis is totally selective to partial esters of the two polyols (glycerol and diglycerol). The yields are higher than 60% in partial glycerol esters and 70% in partial diglycerol esters. The kinetic modeling of this synthesis and regression of kinetic data by the software GEPASI showed that the reaction follows the reversible 2 order and it is athermic. The calculated activation energy is 17 kcal/mol for the synthesis of glycerol monoundecenoate (GMU) and 16 kcal/mol for glycerol diundecenoate (GDU), these values are close to the theoretical values and they show that the reaction is happening at room temperature. Moreover, the response of the surface methodology shows that the variables chosen for the present study are temperature and catalyst concentration have a positive effect on the yield of the GMU. This approach was used to determine the optimum conditions for producing the GMU. Second study performed was of the reactivity of the terminal double bond of the GMU in presence of two oxidizing agents H 2 O 2 / formic acid and metachloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA), for synthesized bolaamphiphiles molecules was performed. The H 2 O 2 /formic acid was used to oxidize the double bond of GMU in diol function of glycerol 10,11-dihydroxymonoundecenoate (GMUDiol). The m-CPBA epoxidizes the double bond of GMU to give glycerol 10,11-epoxymonoundécénoate (GMUE). The opening of the epoxide function by aminoalcohol molecules are used to generate the new molecules bolaamphiphiles molecules: the bola ethanolamineglycerol and the bola diaminobutaneglycerol. The third step was the stady of the physico-chemical properties of pure amphiphilic and bolaamphiphiles molecules. The result was shown that all molecules are solvo-surfactants molecules and they are active in the interfaces (liquid/air and liquid/solid). The curves of surface tension of water do not respect the Gibbs rule. GMU and DGMU self- assemble in water and give nano-objects (vesicles and aggregates) in diluted solutions. In hydrogel, the molecules self-assemble in lamellar phase. In this lamellar phase, the amount of water retained is 56% and the number of water molecules strongly linked to the polar heads is 49 moles of water/diglycerol monoundecenoate molecule (DGMU). All these physico-chemical properties have permit to respond to industrial problems such as water retention for the curing product, self-assembly for demoulding concrete and for surface anti-adhesion and adsorption and finally foaming required for the aged bitumen regeneration. For pure bolaamphiphiles molecules (GEMU and ethanolamineglycerol bola) reduce the interfacial tension of water to the limit of the solubility of this bola molecules in water but do not provide a critical aggregation concentration (CAC). They retain more water molecules respectively between 56% and 63% water and the number of water molecules strongly bound with two polar heads groups pure bolaamphiphiles molecules is between 42 and 53.

Monolithische Phasen werden seit ca. 20 Jahren entwickelt und sind in den letzten Jahren eine attraktive Alternative zu etablierten mit Partikeln gefüllten Säulen geworden. Sie werden in anorganische Phasen und organische Polymermonolithe unterteilt. Monolithe bestehen aus einem einzigen, durchgehenden Stück. Charakteristisch ist das sie durchziehende Porennetzwerk, durch das der Eluent mit geringerem hydraulischen Widerstand fließen kann und das somit schnellere Flussraten ermöglicht. Polymermonolithe werden vorwiegend für die Separation großer Biomoleküle aufgrund eines durch Konvektion beschleunigten Massentransfers eingesetzt. Zudem sind sie über einen breiten pH-Wert-Bereich stabil und können direkt (in situ) im gewünschten Format polymerisiert werden. In der vorliegenden Arbeit gelang die Herstellung neuartiger epoxidbasierter Phasen nach einem von Weller et al. entwickelten Konzept, die im Affinitätsexperiment angewendet wurden. Die Herstellung erfolgte durch Autopolymerisation polyfunktioneller Glycidylether. Für die Funktionalisierung wurden nicht polymerisierte Epoxide genutzt. Als Monomere dienten TEPIC, GE 100 sowie GE 500. Die Arbeiten konzentrierten sich vor allem auf die bei Raumtemperatur durchführbaren Synthesen mit dem höher funktionellen GE 500. Die Polymerisationsbedingungen wurden hinsichtlich Porogenmischung und -anteil optimiert. Eine mit 75 Vol.-% Porogen (Dioxan/ MTBE (2:3)) hergestellte und mit rProtein A funktionalisierte Kapillarsäule (66 %, 12 µm, 7m2/g) ergab im Affinitätsexperiment eine Kapazität von 0,44 mg/mL aus Kaninchenserum isolierbarem IgG. Durch Beimischung von 60 % BDE konnte der Epoxidgehalt vervierfacht und die Porengröße auf 400 nm bei 59 % Porosität reduziert werden. Die spezifische Oberfläche wurde verdreifacht und die Kapazität präparierter Disks auf 0,90 mg/mL etwa verdoppelt. Die in dieser Arbeit entwickelten Disks können zur Isolierung von IgG aus einer komplexen Probe, wie beispielsweise Blutserum, eingesetzt werden. / Monolithic supports have been developed since 20 years and have become an attractive alternative to well-established columns packed with particles over the past years. They are classified into inorganic media and organic polymer monoliths. Monoliths consist of a single, continuous piece with an integrated characteristic porous network through which the eluent can flow with lower hydraulic resistance and which consequently offers higher flow rates. Due to an accelerated mass transfer caused by convection polymer monoliths are mainly used for separation of large biomolecules. In addition, they are stable over a wide pH range and can be polymerized directly (in situ) in the desired format. In the present work the successful preparation of new epoxide-based supports according to a concept introduced by Weller et al. as well as their application in affinity chromatography are reported. Their preparation was carried out by self-polymerization of polyfunctional glycidyl ethers and for functionalization non-polymerized epoxide groups were used. As monomers TEPIC, GE 100 and GE 500 were utilized. The work has focused especially on the polymerization of the higher functional GE 500, which can be perfomed at room temperature and was optimized in terms of both composition and amount of porogen. The extraction of IgG from rabbit serum with a capillary column (66 %, 12 µm, 7m2/g) prepared by 75 vol.-% porogen (dioxane/ MTBE (2:3)) and functionalized with rprotein A resulted in a capacity of 0,44 mg/mL. By addition of 60 % BDE the epoxide content was quadrupled and the pore size reduced to 400 nm while maintaining consistently high porosity of 59 %. The specific surface area was tripled and the capacity of prepared disks approximately doubled to 0,90 mg/mL. The disks developed in this work can be applied for the isolation of IgG from complex samples such as serum.
