Polydisperse PEGs are ubiquitously used in pharmaceutical industry and biomedical research. However, the monodispersity in PEGs may play a role in the development of safe and effective PEGylated small molecular drugs. Here, to avoid the polydispersity in polidocanol, the active ingredient in a clinically used drug, a macrocyclic sulfate-based strategy for the efficient and scalable synthesis of monodisperse polidocanols, their sulfates, and their methylated derivatives, was developed. TLC and HPLC analysis indicated a complex mixture in regular polidocanol and high purities in monodisperse polidocanols and their derivatives. Assay on HUVEC, L929, and HePG2 cells showed that monodisperse polidocanols have much higher cytotoxicity and safety than that of regular polidocanol. It was found that the monodispersity of PEGs in polidocanols is crucial for achieving the optimal therapeutic results. Therefore, based on this case study, it would be beneficial to optimize PEGylated small molecular drugs with monodisperse PEGs in pharmaceutical research and development.

Paragraph 0161-0163, (2017/06/13)
The present invention relates to a non-ionic surfactant with reduced toxicity and activity of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and to a preparation method thereof. According to the present invention, the non-ionic surfactant exhibits characteristics of remarkably reducing toxicity and effects on the survival of cells, and exhibits inactiveness of endocrine-disrupting chemicals, thereby being useful as a surfactant replacing a conventional surfactant such as NPEs, and the like. Particularly, the non-ionic surfactant is useful as a cleaning composition, a fabric softener composition, a cosmetic composition, an emulsifier composition, a dispersant composition, and the like.

A simple chain-extending approach was established for the scale-up of the monoprotected monodisperse PEG diol materials. Reactions of THP-(OCH2CH2)n—OMs (n=4, 8, 12) with a large excess of commercially available H—(OCH2CH2)n—OH (n=1-4) under basic conditions led to THP-(OCH2CH2)n—OH (n=5-15). Similarly, Me-(OCH2CH2)n—OH (n=4-11, 13) were prepared from Me-(OCH2CH2)n—OMs (n=3, 7, 11). For the chain elongation steps, 40-80% yields were achieved through extraction purification. PEG oligomer libraries I and II were generated in 50-95% overall yields by alkylation or acylation of THP-(OCH2CH2)n—OH (n=1-15) followed by deprotection. Alkylation of Me-(OCH2CH2)n—OH (n=1-11, 13) with X—(CH2)m—CO2R (X=Br or OMs) and subsequent hydrolysis led to PEG oligomer library III in 30-60% overall yields. Combinatorial purification techniques were adapted to the larger-scale library synthesis. A total of 498 compounds, each with a weight of 2-5 g and a minimum purity of 90%, were synthesized.
