Abstract
The present study deals with the synthesis and characterization of an aliphatic copolyester, poly [butylene fumarate-co-butylene itaconate] (PIFB) copolymer was obtained from itaconic acid, fumaric acid, and 1,4-butanediol using titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTiPO) through a two step process of transesterification and melt polycondensation. The synthesized aliphatic random copolyester was characterized with the help of FT-IR,1H-NMR,13C-NMR, viscosity measurements, Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Thermal properties have been analyzed using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Hydrolytic degradation studies were carried out in acid and alkaline regions of various pH values. The synthesized copolymer was subjected toin vitroanticancer activity studies against human breast cancer (MCF-7) cell line.
