To combine the neutron-capturing and photodynamic properties of boron nanoclusters and derivatives of natural chlorins, respectively, in one molecule, conjugate of chlorin e6 methyl ester with cyclen and dioxane and nitrile derivatives of cobalt bis(dicarbollide) were synthesized. The conditions for the purification of compounds by HPLC were selected since the work with natural compounds is complicated by the production of closely related impurities.

The encapsulation of five derivatives of chlorin e6 with different hydrophobicity and aggregation properties into a series of five poloxamer-type triblock copolymer micelles (BCMs) with varying numbers of polyethylene and polypropylene glycol (PEG, PPG) units was monitored using 1H NMR spectroscopy. NMR chemical shift and line shape analysis, as well as dynamic methods including diffusion ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) and T1 and T2 relaxation time measurements of the chlorin and the polymer resonances, proved useful to assess the chlorin–BCM compatibility. The poloxamers had high capability to break up aggregates formed by chlorins up to intermediate hydrophobicity. Physically entrapped chlorins were always localized in the BCM core region. The loading capacity correlated with chlorin polarity for all poloxamers among which those with the lowest number of PPG units were most efficient. DOSY data revealed that relatively weakly aggregating chlorins partition between the aqueous bulk and micellar environment whereas more hydrophobic chlorins are well retained in the BCM core region, rendering these systems more stable. T1 and T2 relaxation time measurements indicated that motional freedom in the BCM core region contributes to encapsulation efficiency. The BCM corona dynamics were rather insensitive towards chlorin entrapment except for the poloxamers with short PEG chains. The presented data demonstrate that 1H NMR spectroscopy is a powerful complementary tool for probing the compatibility of porphyrinic compounds with polymeric carriers such as poloxamer BCMs, which is a prerequisite in the development of stable and highly efficient drug delivery systems suitable for medical applications like photodynamic therapy of tumors.

Abstract We describe the possibilities of formation and preparation of the “natural” 1,3-benzodioxolecarboxylic acids 1, 2, 4, 6 b, and 7, already mentioned in literature. Myristic acid (3e) was prepared in good yield from 3-methoxy-4,5-dihydroxy-benzoic acid ester (3c) , which could be easily made from 3-methoxy-2,3-carbonyldioxy-benzoic acid methylester (3b). Myristicic acid methylester (3d) could be subjected to methylation and hydrolysis leading to 3e without any difficulties. 4.6-dimethoxy-1,3-benzodioxole-5-carboxylic acid (5b) was prepared in good yields by oxidation of 4,6-dimethoxy-1,3-benzodioxole-5-aldehyde (5a). 5.7-dimethoxy-1,3-benzodioxole-carboxylic acid (13f), one of the “unnatural” 1,3-benzodioxolecarboxylic acids, derivatives of o-ipiperonylic acid (8), was prepared from 5-amino-7-methoxy-1,3- benzodioxole-4carboxylic acid methyl ester (13b) by diazotisation, elimination of nitrogen, methylation, and hydrolysis. A comparison of our measured pkA-values showed the strongest acidity belonging to 5,6-dimethoxy-1,3-benzodioxole-4-carbocylic acid (11).

The proton magnetic resonance (p.m.r.) and mass spectra of the methyl ester pentaacetate of sodium 2-O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-D-glycerate from the red alga Rhodomela larix are compared to those of related compounds to affirm the assigned structure.
