Generation 3 PAMAM dendrimer TAMRA conjugates containing precise dye/dendrimer ratios.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis, isolation, and characterization of generation 3 poly(amidoamine) (G3 PAMAM) dendrimer containing precise ratios of 5-carboxytetramethylrhodamine succinimidyl ester (TAMRA) dye (n = 1-3) per polymer particle are reported. Stochastic conjugation of TAMRA dye to the dendrimer was followed by separation into precise dye-polymer ratios using rp-HPLC. The isolated materials were characterized by rp-UPLC, MALDI-TOF-MS, and 1H NMR spectroscopy, UV-vis, and fluorescence spectroscopies.

Isolation and characterization of precise dye/dendrimer ratios.

Project description:Fluorescent dyes are commonly conjugated to nanomaterials for imaging applications using stochastic synthesis conditions that result in a Poisson distribution of dye/particle ratios and therefore a broad range of photophysical and biodistribution properties. We report the isolation and characterization of generation?5 poly(amidoamine) (G5 PAMAM) dendrimer samples containing 1, 2, 3, and 4 fluorescein (FC) or 6-carboxytetramethylrhodamine succinimidyl ester (TAMRA) dyes per polymer particle. For the fluorescein case, this was achieved by stochastically functionalizing dendrimer with a cyclooctyne "click" ligand, separation into sample containing precisely defined "click" ligand/particle ratios using reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), followed by reaction with excess azide-functionalized fluorescein dye. For the TAMRA samples, stochastically functionalized dendrimer was directly separated into precise dye/particle ratios using RP-HPLC. These materials were characterized using (1)H and (19)F?NMR spectroscopy, RP-HPLC, UV/Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, lifetime measurements, and MALDI.

Anticancer Activity of Water-Soluble Olsalazine-PAMAM-Dendrimer-Salicylic Acid-Conjugates.

Project description:Improving the activity and selectivity profile of anticancer agents will require designing drug carrier systems that employ soluble macromolecules. Olsalazine-PAMAM-dendrimer-salicylic acid-conjugates with dendritic arms of different lengths have shown good stability regarding the chemical link between drug and spacer. In this study, the drug release was followed in vitro by ultraviolet (UV) studies. Evaluation of the cytotoxicity of the olsalazine-PAMAM-dendrimer-salicylic acid-conjugates employing a sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay in PC-3 (human prostatic adenocarcinoma) and MCF-7 (human mammary adenocarcinoma) cell lines demonstrated that conjugate 9 was more active as an antiproliferative agent than cisplatin, and no cytotoxicity towards the African green monkey kidney fibroblast (COS-7) cell line was observed in any of the conjugates synthesized in the present work.

Diffusion NMR study of generation-five PAMAM dendrimer materials.

Project description:Commercial generation-five poly(amidoamine) dendrimer material (G5c) was fractionated into its major structural components. Monomeric G5 (G5m; 21--30 kDa) was isolated to compare its functional properties to the G5c material. Diffusion-ordered nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was employed to measure the self-diffusion coefficients and corresponding hydrodynamic radii of G5m and other G5c components as a function of dendrimer size (i.e., molecular weight) and tertiary structure (i.e., generational or oligomeric nature). It was found that the hydrodynamic radius (R(H)) scales with approximate numbers of atoms in the trailing generations, G5m, and oligomeric material at a rate of R(H)∝N(0.35), in good agreement with previous reports of RH scaling for PAMAM dendrimer with generation. G5c materials can be thought of as a heterogeneous mixture of dendrimers ranging in size from trailing generation two to tetramers of G5, approximately the same in size as a G7 dendrimer, with G5m comprising ∼65% of the material. The radius of hydration for G5m was measured to be 3.1 ± 0.1 nm at pH 7.4. The 10% swelling in response to a drop in pH observed for the G5c material was not observed for isolated G5m; however, the isolated G5--G5 dimers had an increase of 44% in R(H), indicating that the G5c pH response results from the increase in R(H) of the oligomeric fraction upon protonation. Finally, the data allow for an experimental test of the "slip" and "stick" boundary models of the Stokes--Einstein equation for PAMAM dendrimer in water.

The facile synthesis of multifunctional PAMAM dendrimer conjugates through copper-free click chemistry.

Project description:The facile conjugation of three azido modified functionalities, namely a therapeutic drug (methotrexate), a targeting moiety (folic acid), and an imaging agent (fluorescein) with a G5 PAMAM dendrimer scaffold with cyclooctyne molecules at the surface through copper-free click chemistry is reported. Mono-, di-, and tri-functional PAMAM dendrimer conjugates can be obtained via combinatorial mixing of different azido modified functionalities simultaneously or sequentially with the dendrimer platform. Preliminary flow cytometry results indicate that the folic acid targeted nanoparticles are efficiently binding with KB cells.

Comparative Endocytosis Mechanisms and Anticancer Effect of HPMA Copolymer- and PAMAM Dendrimer-MTCP Conjugates for Photodynamic Therapy.

Project description:Polymer architecture can influence biodistribution and the mode of presentation of bioactive agents to cells. Herein delivery, loading efficiency, and mode of cellular entry of polymer conjugates of the photosensitizer Meso-Tetra (4-Carboxyphenyl) Porphyrine (MTCP) are examined when attached to hyperbranched amine terminated poly(amido amine) (PAMAM) dendrimer or random coil linear N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer containing free amines in the side chains. The in vitro dark cytotoxicity and phototoxicity of MTCP and related conjugates are assessed on mouth epidermal carcinoma (KB) and human adenocarcinoma alveolar basal epithelial (A549) cells. Phototoxicity of polymeric conjugates increases by ?100 and 4000 fold in KB and A549 cells compared with nonconjugated MTCP. The increase in phototoxicity activity is shown to result from increased rate of cellular uptake, whereas, cellular internalization of MTCP is negligible in comparison with the conjugated forms. The results of this study suggest the superiority of amine-terminated HPMA copolymer versus PAMAM dendrimer under study for delivery of MTCP. Treatment with various pharmacological inhibitors of endocytosis shows that polymer architecture influences the mechanism of cellular uptake of the conjugated photosensitizer. Results show that polymeric conjugates of MTCP improve solubility, influence the route and the rate of cellular internalization, and drastically enhance the uptake of the photosensitizer.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluations of Asymmetric Bow-Tie PAMAM Dendrimer-Based Conjugates for Tumor-Targeted Drug Delivery.

Project description:A unique asymmetric bow-tie poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer (ABTD) scaffold was designed and developed as a well-defined macromolecular carrier for tumor-targeted drug delivery. The ABTD scaffold in this study consists of a G3-half-dendron (G3-HD) unit and a G1-half-dendron (G1-HD) unit, bearing thiol moiety in each unit and a bis(maleimide) linker unit, which undergo sequential thiol-maleimide coupling to assemble the scaffold. This assembly methodology is applicable to all other combinations of different generations of PAMAM dendrimers. In the prototype ABTD in this study, 16 biotin moieties were tethered to the G3-HD unit and 4 payloads (new-generation taxoid) to the G1-HD via a self-immolative linker to form an ABTD-tumor-targeting conjugate (ABTD-TTC-1). Two other ABTD-TTCs were synthesized, wherein the G1-HD unit was tethered to a fluorescence-labeled taxoid or to a fluorescent probe. These three ABTD-TTCs were constructed by using a common key ABTD 6 bearing a terminal acetylene group in the G1-HD unit, which was fully characterized as a single molecule by high-resolution mass spectrometry and NMR despite its high molecular weight (Mw: 12 876). Then, the click reaction was employed to couple ABTD 6 with a small-molecule payload or fluorescence probe unit bearing a terminal azide moiety. ABTD-TTC-3, as a surrogate of ABTD-TTC-2, showed substantially enhanced internalization into two cancer cell lines via receptor-mediated endocytosis, attributed to multibinding effect. ABTD-TTC-1 exhibited a remarkable selectivity to cancer cells (1400-7500 times) compared to human normal cells, which demonstrates the salient feature and bright prospect of the ABTD-based tumor-targeted drug-delivery system.

Best practices for purification and characterization of PAMAM dendrimer.

Project description:Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer are branched polymers with low degrees of heterogeneity. Current synthesis methods, however, result in substantial batch variability. We present our optimized procedure for post-synthesis (and post-market) purification of a generation 5 PAMAM dendrimer by membrane dialysis and demonstrate its effectiveness and limitations using a representative lot of biomedical grade dendrimer. This method successfully removes trailing generation defect structures, thereby reducing the heterogeneity of the material (PDI reduced from 1.04 to 1.02). Optimized analytical techniques to characterize the unpurified and purified dendrimer are also detailed. The efficiency of the purification method is successfully monitored by these analytics and dendrimer parameters that are critical for subsequent modification reactions and biological evaluation (M(n), M(w), PDI, average number of end groups) obtained. To provide better definition of the variability that should be expected between lots of synthesized material, HPLC traces for three additional commercial lots of dendrimer are also presented.

Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer conjugates of "clickable" agonists of the A3 adenosine receptor and coactivation of the P2Y14 receptor by a tethered nucleotide.

Project description:We previously synthesized a series of potent and selective A(3) adenosine receptor (AR) agonists (North-methanocarba nucleoside 5'-uronamides) containing dialkyne groups on extended adenine C2 substituents. We coupled the distal alkyne of a 2-octadiynyl nucleoside by Cu(I)-catalyzed "click" chemistry to azide-derivatized G4 (fourth-generation) PAMAM dendrimers to form triazoles. A(3)AR activation was preserved in these multivalent conjugates, which bound with apparent K(i) of 0.1-0.3 nM. They were substituted with nucleoside moieties, solely or in combination with water-solubilizing carboxylic acid groups derived from hexynoic acid. A comparison with various amide-linked dendrimers showed that triazole-linked conjugates displayed selectivity and enhanced A(3)AR affinity. We prepared a PAMAM dendrimer containing equiproportioned peripheral azido and amino groups for conjugation of multiple ligands. A bifunctional conjugate activated both A(3) and P2Y(14) receptors (via amide-linked uridine-5'-diphosphoglucuronic acid), with selectivity in comparison to other ARs and P2Y receptors. This is the first example of targeting two different GPCRs with the same dendrimer conjugate, which is intended for activation of heteromeric GPCR aggregates. Synergistic effects of activating multiple GPCRs with a single dendrimer conjugate might be useful in disease treatment.

Surface Modification of Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) Dendrimer as Antimicrobial Agents.

Project description:Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) (G3) dendrimer was modified into quaternary ammonium salts using tertiary amines with different chain lengths: dimethyldodecyl amine, dimethylhexyl amine, and dimethylbutyl amine using an efficient synthetic route. The antimicrobial activity of these dendrimer ammonium salts against Staphylococcus and E-coli bacteria was examined using the disc diffusion method. It was found that quaternary ammonium salt prepared with the dimethyldodecyl amine exhibits antimicrobial efficacy against Staphalococus and E.coli bacteria.

Chaperonin-Dendrimer Conjugates for siRNA Delivery.

Project description:The group II chaperonin thermosome (THS) is a hollow protein nanoparticle that can encapsulate macromolecular guests. Two large pores grant access to the interior of the protein cage. Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) is conjugated into THS to act as an anchor for small interfering RNA (siRNA), allowing to load the THS with therapeutic payload. THS-PAMAM protects siRNA from degradation by RNase A and traffics KIF11 and GAPDH siRNA into U87 cancer cells. By modification of the protein cage with the cell-penetrating peptide TAT, RNA interference is also induced in PC-3 cells. THS-PAMAM protein-polymer conjugates are therefore promising siRNA transfection reagents and greatly expand the scope of protein cages in drug delivery applications.
