UV and near-IR triggered release from polymeric nanoparticles.

Project description:A new light-sensitive polymer containing multiple light-sensitive triggering groups along the backbone and incorporating a quinone-methide self-immolative moiety was developed and formulated into nanoparticles encapsulating a model pharmaceutical Nile Red. Triggered burst release of the payload upon irradiation and subsequent degradation of the nanoparticles were observed. This system is designed to be versatile where the triggering group can be sensitive to a number of wavelengths.

Cargo Release from Polymeric Vesicles under Shear.

Project description:In this paper we study the release of cargo from polymeric nano-carriers under shear. Vesicles formed by two star block polymers- A 12 B 6 C 2 ( A B C ) and A 12 B 6 A 2 ( A B A )-and one linear block copolymer- A 14 B 6 ( A B ), are investigated using dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations. A - and C -blocks are solvophobic and B -block is solvophilic. The three polymers form vesicles of different structures. The vesicles are subjected to shear both in bulk and between solvophobic walls. In bulk shear, the mechanisms of cargo release are similar for all vesicles, with cargo travelling through vesicle membrane with no preferential release location. When sheared between walls, high cargo release rate is only observed with A B C vesicle after it touches the wall. For A B C vesicle, the critical condition for high cargo release rate is the formation of wall-polymersome interface after which the effect of shear rate in promoting cargo release is secondary. High release rate is achieved by the formation of solvophilic pathway allowing cargo to travel from the vesicle cavity to the vesicle exterior. The results in this paper show that well controlled target cargo release using polymersomes can be achieved with polymers of suitable design and can potentially be very useful for engineering applications. As an example, polymersomes can be used as carriers for surface active friction reducing additives which are only released at rubbing surfaces where the additives are needed most.

Light-triggered chemical amplification to accelerate degradation and release from polymeric particles.

Project description:We describe a means of chemical amplification to accelerate triggered degradation of a polymer and particles composed thereof. We designed a light-degradable copolymer containing carboxylic acids masked by photolabile groups and ketals. Photolysis allows the unmasked acidic groups in the polymer backbone to accelerate ketal hydrolysis even at neutral pH.

Photodegradable Coordination Polymer Particles for Light-Controlled Cargo Release.

Project description:Stimuli-responsive coordination polymer particles (CPPs) show great promise for encapsulating and releasing cargos due to their unique and highly tailorable structures and properties. In particular, photoresponsive CPPs have received enormous interest, as noninvasive light can be spatially and temporally controlled, resulting in great safety and efficiency. In this work, we report the design and synthesis of novel photodegradable CPPs by infinite coordination polymerization of Zn2+ and a photocleavable organic linker containing o-nitrobenzyl derivatives. We further demonstrate that these novel photodegradable CPPs are able to efficiently encapsulate cargos and are applicable for on-command drug release upon low-power UV light irradiation (5.78 mW/cm2). Because light is a highly desirable remote-trigger and can be used externally, we expect that these photodegradable CPPs can provide a unique platform for controlled cargo release.

Controlled Synthesis of Up-Conversion NaYF<sub>4</sub>:Yb,Tm Nanoparticles for Drug Release under Near IR-Light Therapy.

Project description:Up-Conversion materials have received great attention in drug delivery applications in recent years. A specifically emerging field includes the development of strategies focusing on photon processes that promote the development of novel platforms for the efficient transport and the controlled release of drug molecules in the harsh microenvironment. Here, modified reaction time, thermal treatment, and pH conditions were controlled in the synthesis of NaYF4:Yb,Tm up-converted (UC) material to improve its photoluminescence properties. The best blue-emission performance was achieved for the UC3 sample prepared through 24 h-synthesis without thermal treatment at a pH of 5, which promotes the presence of the β-phase and smaller particle size. NaYF4:Yb,Tm has resulted in a highly efficient blue emitter material for light-driven drug release under near-IR wavelength. Thus, NaYF4:Yb,Tm up-converted material promotes the N-O bond cleavage of the oxime ester of Ciprofloxacin (prodrug) as a highly efficient photosensitized drug delivery process. HPLC chromatography and transient absorption spectroscopy measurements were performed to evaluate the drug release conversion rate. UC3 has resulted in a very stable and easily recovered material that can be used in several reaction cycles. This straightforward methodology can be extended to other drugs containing photoactive chromophores and is present as an alternative for drug release systems.

Light-Induced Remodeling of Physically Crosslinked Hydrogels Using Near-IR Wavelengths.

Project description:Poly([6-bromo-7-hydroxycoumarin-4-yl]methyl methacrylate)-based triblock copolymers were synthesized by first preparing PMAA-PEG-PMAA triblocks using ATRP. 6-Bromo-4-chloromethyl-7-hydroxycoumarin was conjugated to PMAA-PEG-PMAA using 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene (DBU). Rheological measurements were conducted using a HR-2 rheometer with a UV illumination accessory (TA Instruments). Single-photon uncaging was performed as previously described.20 Two-photon uncaging was performed using a LSM (Zeiss) equipped with a Ti: Sapphire laser (Coherent). All values reported as mean ± std. dev. unless otherwise stated. See Supporting Information for experimental details.

Polymeric nanoparticle-based activatable near-infrared nanosensor for protease determination in vivo.

Project description:We report here a new protease activatable strategy based on a polymer nanoparticle platform. This nanosensor delivers chemically labeled matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-activatable fluorogenic peptides to the specific MMPs of interest in vivo. Intravenous administration of the nanosensor in an MMP-positive SCC-7 xenograft tumor and a colon cancer mouse model verified the enzyme specificity of the nanosensor in vivo. The design platform of the nanosensor is flexible and can be fine-tuned for a wide array of applications such as the detection of biomarkers, early diagnosis of disease, and monitoring therapeutic efficacy.

Nanoparticle Binding to Urokinase Receptor on Cancer Cell Surface Triggers Nanoparticle Disintegration and Cargo Release.

Project description:Cancer cell expresses abundant surface receptors. These receptors are important targets for cancer treatment and imaging applications. Our goal here is to develop nanoparticles with cargo loading and tumor targeting capability. Methods: A peptide targeting at cancer cell surface receptor (urokinase receptor, uPAR) was expressed in fusion with albumin (diameter of ~7 nm), and the fusion protein was assembled into nanoparticles with diameter of 40 nm, either in the presence or absence of cargo molecules, by a novel preparation method. An important feature of this method is that the nanoparticles were stabilized by hydrophobic interaction of the fusion protein and no covalent linking agent was used in the preparation. The stability, the cargo release, in vitro and in vivo properties of such formed nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, gel shift assay, laser scanning confocal microscopy and 3D fluorescent molecular tomography. Results: The nanoparticles were stable for more than two weeks in aqueous buffer, even in the buffer containing 10% fetal bovine serum. Interestingly, in the presence of urokinase receptor, the uPAR-targeting nanoparticle disintegrated into 7.5 nm fragments and released its cargo, but not the non-targeting nanoparticles made from albumin by the same preparation method. Such nanoparticles also showed higher uptake and cytotoxicity to the receptor-expressing cancer cells in vitro and higher tumor accumulation in xenografted tumor-bearing mice in vivo compared to the non-targeting nanoparticles. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate a new function of cell surface receptor as a responsive trigger to disassemble nanoparticles, besides its common use to enrich targeting agents. Such nanoparticles were thus named receptor-responsive nanoparticles (RRNP).

Near-IR Light-Mediated Cleavage of Antibody-Drug Conjugates Using Cyanine Photocages.

Project description:Despite significant progress in the clinical application of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), novel cleavage strategies that provide improved selectivity are still needed. Herein is reported the first approach that uses near-IR light to cleave a small molecule from a biomacromolecule, and its application to the problem of ADC linkage. The preparation of cyanine antibody conjugates, drug cleavage mediated by 690?nm light, and initial in vitro and in vivo evaluation is described. These studies provide the critical chemical underpinning from which to develop this near-IR light cleavable linker strategy.
