Abstract: Disclosed are methods, compositions, reagents, systems, and kits to prepare nitroxide-functionalized brush-arm star polymer organic radical contrast agent (BASP-ORCA) as well as compositions and uses thereof. Various embodiments show that BASP-ORCA display unprecedented per-nitroxide and per-molecule transverse relaxivities for organic radical contrast agents, exceptional stability, high water solubility, low in vitro and in vivo toxicity, and long blood compartment half-life. These materials have the potential to be adopted for tumor imaging using clinical high-field 1H MRI techniques.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides enynes, end-functionalized polymers, conjugates, methods of preparation, compositions, kits, and methods of use. The conjugates comprise at least (1) a peptide (e.g., an antibody), protein, nucleoprotein, mucoprotein, lipoprotein, glycoprotein, or polynucleotide; and (2) a polymer comprising a pharmaceutical agent. The conjugates may be useful in delivering (e.g., targeted delivering) the pharmaceutical agent to a subject in need thereof or cell or treating, preventing, or diagnosing a disease.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, compositions, reagents, systems, and kits to prepare and utilize branched multi-functional macromonomers, which contain a ring-opening metathesis polymerizable norbornene group, one or more reactive sites capable of undergoing click chemistry, and a terminal acyl group capable of undergoing a coupling reaction; branched multi-cargo macromonomers; and the corresponding polymers are disclosed herein. Various embodiments show that the macromonomers and polymers disclosed herein display unprecedented control of cargo loading of agents.

Abstract: Macromolecules comprising triazoles and related compositions and methods are provided. In some embodiments, a macromolecule may comprise one or more repeat units including a triazole and a functionalizable pendant group. The macromolecule may also comprise one or more orthogonally addressable end groups. In some embodiments, one or more repeat units may be formed by a synthetic process that allows for precise control over stereochemistry, pendant functionality, and/or the spatial relationship (e.g., distance) between groups in the repeat unit(s). Such precise control over pendant group and repeat unit structure allows for the macromolecule functionality, stereochemistry, and spacing between groups (e.g., pendant groups) to be precisely controlled. Macromolecules described herein may be used for a wide variety of applications, including the delivery of active agents.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compounds of Formula (I) or (II). The compounds include an agent (e.g., pharmaceutical agent, cosmetic agent, or nutraceutical agent) through a linker that includes a boronic ester moiety in the backbone of the linker. The compounds may be monomers. Also provided are polymers prepared by polymerizing the monomers. The polymers may be useful for delivering the agent to a subject, tissue, biological sample, or a cell. Also provided are methods of preparing the polymers, compositions and kits comprising the polymers, and methods of use (e.g., use in delivering the agent, treating a disease, preventing a disease, diagnosing a disease) involving the polymers or compositions. The structure of the boronic ester moiety may be fine tuned so that the properties related to delivery to a subject, biological sample, tissue, or cell may be fine tuned.
