Poly(蔚-lysine) (蔚-PL)-analogous click polypeptides with not only similar 伪-amino side groups but also similar main chain to 蔚-PL were chemically synthesized for the first time through click polymerization from aspartic (or glutamic)-acid-based dialkyne and diazide monomers. With microwave-assisting, the reaction time of click polymerization was compressed into 30 min. The polymers were fully characterized by NMR, ATR-FTIR, and SEC-MALLS analysis. The deprotected click polypeptides had similar pKa value (7.5) and relatively low cytotoxicity as 蔚-PL and could be used as substitutes of 蔚-PL in biomedical applications, especially in endotoxin selective removal. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-containing alternating copolymers with 伪-amino groups were also synthesized and characterized. After deprotection, the polymers could be used as functional gene vector with PEG shadowing system and NCA initiator to get amphiphilic graft polymers.
