For improving brittleness and biodegradability of poly (L-lactide) [P (L-LA)], new lactide copolymers [P (L-LA/ (R) -MOHEL)] composed of L-lactide (L-LA) and (R) -3-methyl-4-oxa-6-hexanolide [(R) -MOHEL ; optical active new lactone] were synthesized, and enzymatic degradation of the copolymers by proteases was examined. Lactides (L-and D, L-iso-mers) and (R) -MOHEL homopolymers [P (L-LA), P (DL-LA), and P [(R) -MOHEL]] were used as reference samples.<BR>Homo-and copolymerizations were carried out at 100°C for 48h using AlEt3-H2O (1 : 0.75) as the catalyst. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated the polymers obtained [except homopolymers of DL-LA, (R) -MOHEL, and copolymers containing L-LA less than ca. 40 mol %] to be crystalline. Brittleness was improved without much decrease in film melting temperature (Tm) compared to P (L-LA), provided the copolymer contained L-LA units at more than 60 mol %.<BR>Among the enzymes used [proteases (bromelain, pronase, and proteinase K) and cholesterol esterase], proteinase K showed the highest degradability (i. e., substrate specificity) for lactide homopolymers (PLAs). The degradability of amorphous P (DL-LA) by each enzyme was greater than that of crystalline P (L-LA). Proteinase K hardly degraded P [(R) -MOHEL] at all.<BR>In the case of copolymers containing L-LA units at more than 60 mol%, the degradability by proteinase K increased with content of (R) -MOHEL, since the crystallinity (or Tm) of the copolymers decreased with increase in (R) -MOHEL. Too much (R) -MOHEL decreased degradability very much [e. g., P (L-LA/ (R) -MOHEL= 29/71)].<BR>Based on changes in molecular weight and thermal properties of (co) polymers before and after degradation by proteinase K, enzymatic degradation apparently started from polymer (film) surfaces and occurred more easily in amorphous than crystalline parts.
