| Research Abstract |
New types of several polymeric specialty materials have been prepared from polysaccharides which play sophisticated and important roles in many biological processes in animals and plants.
(1) Molecular designs leading to give specialty polymers. Several methods have been established to synthesize (a) monosaccharides from non-carbohydrate sources, (b) cellulose and chitin having highly reactive functional groups, (c) polyureas containing oligosaccharide components in the main chain, and (d) pseudo-oligosaccharides via refined glycosidations. Solid phase structure of a synthetic polysaccharide has been analyzed on the basis of CP/MAS <^(13)C> -NMR spectroscopy.
(2) Polysaccharides with specific biological functions. Excellent hapten-specific immunization has been induced by applying carboxymethyl chitin as a hapten carrier. Branched and iminosulfated synthetic polysaccharides was found to exhibit high antitumor activity and blood anticoagulant activity, respectively. Polystyrene having a galactose residue in each repeating unit has been shown to interact specifically with liver cells, which is of practical value as materials for cell separation and cell culture.
(3) Artificial assembly of biological functions. Nylon capsule membranes anchored with oligosaccharide as the recognition marker has been found to be effective in reversible control of permeation of salts. Highly-refined artificial systems as a model of enzymes were assembled from regiospecifically modified cyclodextrins, which catalyzed assymmetric synthesis of amino acids and selective carboxylation. Some tricarbanylated cellulose derivatives showing excellent optical resolution ability have been developed.
