N-(3-AMINOPROPYL) METHACRYLAMIDE

APMA can be used in the preparation of copolymers and cross-linked miscellas for gene delivery, drug delivery and diagnostics applications.

N-(3-Aminopropyl)methacrylamide hydrochloride (APMA) is an aminoalkyl methacrylamide which can be synthesized by adding 1,3-diaminopropane to 1,3-diaminopropane dihydrogen chloride solution and further mixing the solution with methacrylic anhydride and hydroquinone. It has a primary amine that provides attractive features such as pH-responsiveness, affinity for anionic drugs and conjugation for variety of chemical structures.
