Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Currently, biodegradable polymer materials such as poly(morpholine-2, 5-dione) and its derivatives have been widely used in biomedical field to fabricate nerve catheters, tissue engineering and drug control release carriers. Therefore, many research has focused on the synthesis of poly(morpholine-2 5-dione) and its derivatives.
OBJECTIVE:To review the synthesis methods of monomeric and polymeric morpholine-2, 5-dione and its derivatives, and to explore its advantages and shortcomings. METHODS:A computer-based search of databases of Wanfang, CNKI, SCI and PubMed was performed for relevant articles published from 1982 to 2015. And the keywords were“morpholine-2, 5-dion, biodegradable”in Chinese and English, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:So far, acylation reactions ofα-amino acids andα-halogen halide, the intramolecular esterifications and intramolecular condensation reactions are the key methods for the synthesis of morpholine-2, 5-dione and its derivatives. A modified approach is needed to overcome the existed disadvantages. Ring-opening polymerization of morpholine-2, 5-dione is a preferred method of synthetic polyester-amide, but low molecular weight and conversion of polymers are produced. Polymerization catalyzed via metal compounds and enzymes are the best strategy for the synthesis of poly(morpholine-2, 5-dione). Furthermore, as a valuable biodegradable polymer material, poly(morpholine-2, 5-dione) has been extensively applied in the medical field.
