Preparation of H-[(N-Ropinirole)
10(EOZ)
190]-COOH 20K by attachment of Ropinirole 3-azidocarbamate to Polyoxazoline 10 pendent acid 20K
Ropinirole-N-bromoethylcarboxylate
To a solution of ropinerole ropinirole hydrochloride
(0.558 g, 1.88 mmol) in dioxane (38 ml) was added triethylamine (2.10
ml, 15.1 mmol). After stirring for 5 minutes, 2-bromoethyl chloroformate
(1.61 ml, 15.1 mmol) was added slowly and the mixture was allowed to
stir overnight at room temperature. Water (40 mL) was added to give a
mixture with pH of 9.5. After stirring overnight, the mixture was
stirred with dichloromethane (40 mL) and brine solution (10 mL) for 10
minutes. The two layers were separated and the top layer was extracted
with dichloromethane (40 mL). The combined organic phases were dried
over Na
2SO
4, filtered, and concentrated to give
dark red thick oil. Further purification was performed by silica gel
column chromatography, eluting with dichloromethane/EtOAc (starting from
9:1, 4:1, and then 100% EtOAc) to give the desired N-acylated product
as a dark red oil (0.170 g, 22.01% yield).).

Ropinirole-N-azidoethylcarboxylate
To a solution of Ropinirole-N-bromoethylcarboxylate
(0.170 g, 0.414 mmol) in DMF (2 ml) was added sodium azide (0.027 g,
0.414 mmol) to give a clear yellow solution. After stirring overnight at
room temperature, the mixture was quenched with 1 mL of 0.1 N HCl and
then diluted with 2 mL of water. All the volatiles were removed using a
rotary evaporator and the aqueous solution was extracted twice with
dichloromethane (3 mL each). The combined organic phases were dried over
Na
2SO
4, filtered, and concentrated to give Ropinirole-N-azidoethylcarboxylate (0.12 g, 78% yield) as thick yellow oil.

H-[(N-Ropinirole)
10(EOZ)
190]-COOH 20K
Ropinirole-N-azidoethylcarboxylate hydrochloride (0.12 g, 0.293 mmol) was dissolved in THF (15 ml). H-[(Ptyn)
10(Ethyl)
200]-T-PA
(0.488 g, 0.024 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred to form a
solution. Cul (0.019 g, 0.098 mmol) and triethylamine (0.014 ml, 0.098
mmol) were added to give a clear red solution. After stirring for 16
hours at 45° C., the mixture was quenched with 2 mL of 0.1N HCl to give a
solution with pH of 3. All the volatiles were removed and the residue
was dissolved in methanol. The resulting mixture was passed through a
Dowex and Amberlite IR-120 column using methanol as an eluent. After
removing methanol, the resulting aqueous solution was extracted twice
with dichloromethane (5 mL each). The organic solution was dried over Na
2SO
4,
filtered, concentrated to 10 mL, and precipitated by adding into 70 mL
of diethyl ether. The precipitate was filtered and dried in vacuo to
give H-[(N-Ropinirole)
10(Ethyl)
200]-T-PA (0.50 g, 86% yield) as a pale yellow powder. In addition to the usual polymer backbone peaks,
1H NMR (Varian, 500 MHz, 10 mg/mL DMSO-d
6, δ) shows the polymer chain contained an average of 6.4 units of rotigotine with major Ropinirole peaks at 0.97 (m, 6H, —CH
