Preparation of cationic comb-type copolymer having guanidino moieties and its interaction with DNAs

In order to evaluatet effects of different cationic moieties, such as primary amino and guanidino groups, on interactions between DNAs and cationic comb-type copolymers, comb-type copolymers having guanidino groups were prepared. The copolymers (GPLL-g-Dex) were obtained by guanidination of poly(L-lysine)-graft-dextran copolymers (PLL-g-Dex) using 1-guanyl3,5-dimethylpyrazole nitrate under weak basic conditions. The resulting copolymers were characterized using NMR spectroscopy and size-exclusion chromatography-multiangle light scattering (SECMALS). The primary amino groups of the PLL backbones were thoroughly replaced with guanidino ones without any detectable side reactions, including fragmentation of PLL or Dex chains. The interactions of GPLL-g-Dex and PLL-g-Dex with DNAs were assessed by UV-melting curve measurements. These copolymers diversly affected the melting behavior of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). GPLL-g-Dex has a lower ability to increase the T m of dsDNA than PLL-g-Dex and also exhibits a higher affinity for dsDNA. The results suggest that the stability of dsDNA may be affected not only by ionic interaction between the copolymers and DNAs, but also by other modes of interactions, such as hydrogen-bondinginteractions.
