Bio-orthogonal phosphatidylserine conjugates for delivery and imaging applications.

ABSTRACT: The syntheses of phosphatidylserine (PS) conjugates are described, including fluorescent derivatives for potential cellular delivery and bioimaging applications. Installation of terminal functional groups (amine, thiol, or alkyne) onto the sn-2 chain provides reactive sites for bio-orthogonal conjugation of cargo with suitably protected PS derivatives. An amine-containing PS forms amide bonds with peptidic cargo, a thiol derivative is designed for conjugation to cargo that contain alpha-halo carbonyls or Michael acceptors, and the terminal alkyne PS analogue permits "click" conjugation with any azide-tagged molecule. This latter conjugation method is quite versatile as it can be performed without PS headgroup protection, in aqueous media, and with acid-labile cargo.

Leveraging synthetic chlorins for bio-imaging applications.

Project description:Synthetic chlorins are not only fluorescent, the modulation of the tetrapyrrole system can also chelate metal ions. Conjugation of linkers at their pyrrolidines allows for conjugation to bio-molecules to create target specificity. By altering these chemo-photophysical properties, this work facilitates the use of chlorins in fluorescent imaging and positron emission tomography (PET).

Bio-degradable highly fluorescent conjugated polymer nanoparticles for bio-medical imaging applications.

Project description:Conjugated polymer nanoparticles exhibit strong fluorescence and have been applied for biological fluorescence imaging in cell culture and in small animals. However, conjugated polymer particles are hydrophobic and often chemically inert materials with diameters ranging from below 50 nm to several microns. As such, conjugated polymer nanoparticles cannot be excreted through the renal system. This drawback has prevented their application for clinical bio-medical imaging. Here, we present fully conjugated polymer nanoparticles based on imidazole units. These nanoparticles can be bio-degraded by activated macrophages. Reactive oxygen species induce scission of the conjugated polymer backbone at the imidazole unit, leading to complete decomposition of the particles into soluble low molecular weight fragments. Furthermore, the nanoparticles can be surface functionalized for directed targeting. The approach opens a wide range of opportunities for conjugated polymer particles in the fields of medical imaging, drug-delivery, and theranostics.Conjugated polymer nanoparticles have been applied for biological fluorescence imaging in cell culture and in small animals, but cannot readily be excreted through the renal system.

Bio-inspired liposomal thrombomodulin conjugate through bio-orthogonal chemistry.

Project description:We report the synthesis of bioinspired liposomal thrombomodulin (TM) conjugates by chemoselective and site-specific liposomal conjugation of recombinant TM at C-terminus. TM is an endothelial cell membrane protein that acts as a major cofactor in the protein C anticoagulant pathway. To closely mimic membrane protein structural features of TM, we proposed membrane-mimetic re-expression of recombinant TM onto liposome. A recombinant TM containing the EGF-like 456 domains and an azidohomoalanine at C-terminus was expressed in E. coli. Conjugation of the recombinant TM onto liposome via Staudinger ligation and copper-free click chemistry were investigated as an optimal platform for exploring membrane protein TM's activity, respectively. The bioinspired liposomal TM conjugates were confirmed with Western blotting and protein C activation activity. The recombinant TM-liposome conjugates showed a 2-fold higher k(cat)/K(m) value for protein C activation than that of the recombinant TM alone, which indicated that the lipid membrane has a beneficiary effect on the recombinant TM's activity. The reported liposomal protein conjugate approach provides a rational design strategy for both studying membrane protein TM's functions and generating a membrane protein TM-based anticoagulant agent.

Bio-Orthogonal Nanogels for Multiresponsive Release.

Project description:Responsive nanogel systems are interesting for the drug delivery of bioactive molecules due to their high stability in aqueous media. The development of nanogels that are able to respond to biochemical cues and compatible with the encapsulation and the release of large and sensitive payloads remains challenging. Here, multistimuli-responsive nanogels were synthesized using a bio-orthogonal and reversible reaction and were designed for the selective release of encapsulated cargos in a spatiotemporally controlled manner. The nanogels were composed of a functionalized polysaccharide cross-linked with pH-responsive hydrazone linkages. The effect of the pH value of the environment on the nanogels was fully reversible, leading to a reversible control of the release of the payloads and a "stop-and-go" release profile. In addition to the pH-sensitive nature of the hydrazone network, the dextran backbone can be degraded through enzymatic cleavage. Furthermore, the cross-linkers were designed to be responsive to oxidoreductive cues. Disulfide groups, responsive to reducing environments, and thioketal groups, responsive to oxidative environments, were integrated into the nanogel network. The release of model payloads was investigated in response to changes in the pH value of the environment or to the presence of reducing or oxidizing agents.

Highly Porous Amorphous Calcium Phosphate for Drug Delivery and Bio-Medical Applications.

Project description:Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) has shown significant effects on the biomineralization and promising applications in bio-medicine. However, the limited stability and porosity of ACP material restrict its practical applications. A storage stable highly porous ACP with Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area of over 400 m2/g was synthesized by introducing phosphoric acid to a methanol suspension containing amorphous calcium carbonate nanoparticles. Electron microscopy revealed that the porous ACP was constructed with aggregated ACP nanoparticles with dimensions of several nanometers. Large angle X-ray scattering revealed a short-range atomic order of <20 Å in the ACP nanoparticles. The synthesized ACP demonstrated long-term stability and did not crystallize even after storage for over 14 months in air. The stability of the ACP in water and an α-MEM cell culture medium were also examined. The stability of ACP could be tuned by adjusting its chemical composition. The ACP synthesized in this work was cytocompatible and acted as drug carriers for the bisphosphonate drug alendronate (AL) in vitro. AL-loaded ACP released ~25% of the loaded AL in the first 22 days. These properties make ACP a promising candidate material for potential application in biomedical fields such as drug delivery and bone healing.

Polysaccharide-Based pH-Responsive Nanocapsules Prepared with Bio-Orthogonal Chemistry and Their Use as Responsive Delivery Systems.

Project description:Bio-orthogonal reactions have become an essential tool to prepare biomaterials; for example, in the synthesis of nanocarriers, bio-orthogonal chemistry allows circumventing common obstacles related to the encapsulation of delicate payloads or the occurrence of uncontrolled side reactions, which significantly limit the range of potential payloads to encapsulate. Here, we report a new approach to prepare pH-responsive nanocarriers using dynamic bio-orthogonal chemistry. The reaction between a poly(hydrazide) crosslinker and functionalized polysaccharides was used to form a pH-responsive hydrazone network. The network formation occurred at the interface of aqueous nanodroplets in miniemulsion and led to the production of nanocapsules that were able to encapsulate payloads of different molecular weights. The resulting nanocapsules displayed low cytotoxicity and were able to release the encapsulated payload, in a controlled manner, under mildly acidic conditions.

A four-dimensional snapshot hyperspectral video-endoscope for bio-imaging applications.

Project description:Hyperspectral imaging has proven significance in bio-imaging applications and it has the ability to capture up to several hundred images of different wavelengths offering relevant spectral signatures. To use hyperspectral imaging for in vivo monitoring and diagnosis of the internal body cavities, a snapshot hyperspectral video-endoscope is required. However, such reported systems provide only about 50 wavelengths. We have developed a four-dimensional snapshot hyperspectral video-endoscope with a spectral range of 400-1000 nm, which can detect 756 wavelengths for imaging, significantly more than such systems. Capturing the three-dimensional datacube sequentially gives the fourth dimension. All these are achieved through a flexible two-dimensional to one-dimensional fiber bundle. The potential of this custom designed and fabricated compact biomedical probe is demonstrated by imaging phantom tissue samples in reflectance and fluorescence imaging modalities. It is envisaged that this novel concept and developed probe will contribute significantly towards diagnostic in vivo biomedical imaging in the near future.

Bio-Nanohybrid Gelatin/Quantum Dots for Cellular Imaging and Biosensing Applications.

Project description:The bio-nanohybrid gelatin protein/cadmium sulfide (Gel/CdS) quantum dots (QDs) have been designed via a facile one-pot strategy. The amino acids group of gelatin chelate Cd2+ and grow CdS QDs without any agglomeration. The 1H NMR spectra indicate that during the above process there are no alterations of the gelatin protein structure conformation and chemical functionalities. The prepared Gel/CdS QDs were characterized and their potential as a system for cellular imaging and the electrochemical sensor for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) detection applications were investigated. The obtained results demonstrate that the developed Gel/CdS QDs system could offer a simple and convenient operating strategy both for the class of contrast agents for cell labeling and electrochemical sensors purposes.
