Acid-triggered release via dePEGylation of fusogenic liposomes mediated by heterobifunctional phenyl-substituted vinyl ethers with tunable pH-sensitivity.


ABSTRACT: A new family of heterobifunctional phenyl-substituted vinyl ether (PIVE) coupling agents with tunable acid-sensitivity has been developed. The PIVE compounds are designed to hydrolyze under acidic conditions with hydrolysis rates that can be varied by rational selection of the phenyl ring substituent. These reagents were incorporated within 2-methoxypoly(ethylene glycol) PEG-conjugated 1,3-dioctadecyl-rac-glycerol lipids to produce the acid-cleavable lipopolymers mPEG-[H-PIVE]-DOG, mPEG-[F-PIVE]-DOG, mPEG-[Me-PIVE]-DOG, and mPEG-[MeO-PIVE]-DOG. These lipopolymers were hydrolyzed under acidic conditions (pH 3.5 or 4.5) at rates that were dependent on the electron donating or withdrawing character of the ?-phenyl vinyl ether substituent, while remaining stable at pH 7.4. Blending of these compounds with 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) in a 10:90 mPEG-PIVE-Lipid:DOPE ratio produced stable liposomes at neutral pH; however, acidification of the solution led to dePEGylation and release of the liposomal cargo in a manner that correlated with the PIVE proton affinity. Specifically, we observed 70% calcein release within 12 h from mPEG-[MeO-PIVE]-DOG-containing liposomes at pH 4.5, whereas only 22% calcein release was observed from mPEG-[F-PIVE]-DOG:DOPE liposomes over this same time scale and pH. These results indicate that dePEGylation following acidification is a triggering mechanism that can be rationally designed and controlled through the appropriate selection of PIVE moieties.
