N2 - The synthesis of a tris(hydroxymethyl)acrylamidomethane (THAM)-derived cotelomer endowed with thalidomide units and a preliminary assessment of its biological activity are described. 4-Carboxy thalidomide and 4-(N-acryloyl) lysine thalidomide derivatives were prepared. The polymerization of these compounds with THAM in the presence of octanethiol as transfer reagent provided a water-soluble telomer bearing several thalidomide units. The ability of this telomer to inhibit angiogenesis in a mouse model of corneal neovascularization was compared to 4-carboxy thalidomide and thalidomide. A significant inhibition in area of neovascularization stimulated by a bFGF pellet was observed only in the mice treated with the telomer.
