PH-Responsive Hybrid Hydrogels as Antibacterial and Drug Delivery Systems.

ABSTRACT: This study describes the design and synthesis of organic?inorganic hybrid hydrogels based on an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) composed of polyaspartic acid crosslinked by graphene nanosheets as the primary network and poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) as the secondary network. Silver, copper oxide, and zinc oxide nanoparticles were formed within the gel matrix, and the obtained hydrogel was applied to a load and controlled release of curcumin. The loading of curcumin and the release of this drug from the gels depended on the nanoparticle's (NP's) content of hydrogels as well as the pH of the medium. The synthesized hydrogels showed antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus bacteria. The ability of the synthesized hydrogels to incapacitate bacteria and their loading capacity and controlled release of curcumin qualify them for future therapies such as wound-dressing applications.

pH/Thermo-Responsive Grafted Alginate-Based SiO2 Hybrid Nanocarrier/Hydrogel Drug Delivery Systems.

Project description:We report the preparation of mesoporous silica nanoparticles covered by layer by layer (LbL) oppositely charged weak polyelectrolytes, comprising poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and a sodium alginate, highly grafted by N-isopropylacrylamide/N-tert-butylacrylamide random copolymers, NaALG-g-P(NIPAM90-co-NtBAM10) (NaALG-g). Thanks to the pH dependence of the degree of ionization of the polyelectrolytes and the LCST-type thermosensitivity of the grafting chains of the NaALG-g, the as-prepared hybrid nanoparticles (hNP) exhibit pH/thermo-responsive drug delivery capabilities. The release kinetics of rhodamine B (RB, model drug) can be controlled by the number of PAH/NaALG-g bilayers and more importantly by the environmental conditions, namely, pH and temperature. As observed, the increase of pH and/or temperature accelerates the RB release under sink conditions. The same NaALG-g was used as gelator to fabricate a hNP@NaALG-g hydrogel composite. This formulation forms a viscous solution at room temperature, and it is transformed to a self-assembling hydrogel (sol-gel transition) upon heating at physiological temperature provided that its Tgel was regulated at 30.7 °C, by the NtBAM hydrophobic monomer incorporation in the side chains. It exhibits excellent injectability thanks to its combined thermo- and shear-responsiveness. The hNP@NaALG-g hydrogel composite, encapsulating hNP covered with one bilayer, exhibited pH-responsive sustainable drug delivery. The presented highly tunable drug delivery system (DDS) (hNP and/or composite hydrogel) might be useful for biomedical potential applications.

pH-Responsive Succinoglycan-Carboxymethyl Cellulose Hydrogels with Highly Improved Mechanical Strength for Controlled Drug Delivery Systems.

Project description:Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-based hydrogels are generally superabsorbent and biocompatible, but their low mechanical strength limits their application. To overcome these drawbacks, we used bacterial succinoglycan (SG), a biocompatible natural polysaccharide, as a double crosslinking strategy to produce novel interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels in a non-bead form. These new SG/CMC-based IPN hydrogels significantly increased the mechanical strength while maintaining the characteristic superabsorbent property of CMC-based hydrogels. The SG/CMC gels exhibited an 8.5-fold improvement in compressive stress and up to a 6.5-fold higher storage modulus (G') at the same strain compared to the CMC alone gels. Furthermore, SG/CMC gels not only showed pH-controlled drug release for 5-fluorouracil but also did not show any cytotoxicity to HEK-293 cells. This suggests that SG/CMC hydrogels could be used as future biomedical biomaterials for drug delivery.

pH-Responsive i-motif Conjugated Hyaluronic Acid/Polyethylenimine Complexes for Drug Delivery Systems.

Project description:i-motif is cytosine (C)-rich oligonucleotide (ODN) which shows pH-responsive structure change in acidic condition. Therefore, it has been utilized for the trigger of intercalated drug release, responding to environmental pH change. In this study, 2.76 molecules of i-motif binding ODNs (IBOs) were conjugated to each hyaluronic acid (HA) via amide bond linkages. Synthesis of HA-IBO conjugate (HB) was confirmed by FT-IR and agarose gel electrophoresis with Stains-All staining. After hybridization of HB with i-motif ODN (IMO), it was confirmed that doxorubicin (DOX) could be loaded in HB-IMO hybrid structure (HBIM) with 65.6% of drug loading efficiency (DLE) and 25.0% of drug loading content (DLC). At pH 5.5, prompt and significant DOX release from HBIM was observed due to the disruption of HBIM hybrid structure via i-motif formation of IMO, contrary to pH 7.4 condition. Then, HBIM was complexed with low molecular weight polyethylenimine (PEI1.8k), forming positively charged nanostructures (Z-average size: 126.0 ± 0.4 nm, zeta-potential: 16.1 ± 0.3 mV). DOX-loaded HBIM/PEI complexes displayed higher anticancer efficacy than free DOX in A549 cells, showing the potential for pH-responsive anticancer drug delivery systems.

Cytoplasmic delivery of functional siRNA using pH-Responsive nanoscale hydrogels.

Project description:The progress of short interfering RNA (siRNA) technologies has unlocked the development of novel alternatives for the treatment of a myriad of diseases, including viral infections, autoimmune disorders, or cancer. Nevertheless, the clinical use of these therapies faces significant challenges, mainly overcoming the charged and large nature of these molecules to effectively enter the cell. In this work, we developed a cationic polymer nanoparticle system that is able to load siRNA due to electrostatic interactions. The pH-responsiveness and membrane-disrupting ability of these carriers make them suitable intracellular delivery vehicles. In the work presented herein we synthesized, characterized, and evaluated the properties of nanoparticles based on 2-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate and tert-butyl methacrylate copolymers. A disulfide crosslinker was incorporated in the nanogels to enable the degradation of the nanoparticles in reductive environments, showing no significant changes on their physicochemical properties. The capability of the developed nanogels to be internalized, deliver siRNA, and induce gene knockdown were demonstrated using a human epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line. Overall, these findings suggest that this platform exhibits desirable characteristics as a potential siRNA-delivery platform.

Engineered pH-Responsive Mesoporous Carbon Nanoparticles for Drug Delivery.

Project description:In this work, two types of mesoporous carbon particles with different morphology, size, and pore structure have been functionalized with a self-immolative polymer sensitive to changes in pH and tested as drug nanocarriers. It is shown that their textural properties allow significantly higher loading capacity compared to typical mesoporous silica nanoparticles. In vial release experiments of a model Ru dye at pH 7.4 and 5 confirm the pH-responsiveness of the hybrid systems, showing that only small amounts of the cargo are released at physiological pH, whereas at slightly acidic pH (e.g., that of lysosomes), self-immolation takes place and a significant amount of the cargo is released. Cytotoxicity studies using human osteosarcoma cells show that the hybrid nanocarriers are not cytotoxic by themselves but induce significant cell growth inhibition when loaded with a chemotherapeutic drug such as doxorubicin. In preparation of an in vivo application, in vial responsiveness of the hybrid system to short-term pH-triggering is confirmed. The consecutive in vivo study shows no substantial cargo release over a period of 96 h under physiological pH conditions. Short-term exposure to acidic pH releases an experimental fluorescent cargo during and continuously after the triggering period over 72 h.

pH-responsive hybrid nanoparticle with enhanced dissociation characteristic for siRNA delivery.

Project description:IntroductionSpecific polo-like kinase (PLK1) silencing with small interface RNA (siRNA) may be an effective approach for PLK1-overexpressed lung cancer. However, low siRNA concentration into cytoplasm of tumor tissue severely limits its application.Materials and methodsIn this study, a novel triblock copolymer methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(histidine)-poly(sulfadimethoxine) (mPEG-PHis-PSD, shorten as PHD) was synthesized and used to construct novel nonviral gene vector with cationic liposomes.ResultsThe resulting hybrid nanoparticles (PHD/LR) loaded with siPLK1 possessed excellent physiochemical properties. In vitro study indicated that PHD/LR could be efficiently internalized into human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells and downregulated PLK1 protein expression to induce cell apoptosis, which was attributed to pH-induced instantaneous dissociation, efficient endo/lysosomal escape arose from PHD copolymer. Furthermore, in vivo antitumor activity demonstrated that PHD/LR could efficiently accumulated into tumor tissue and silenced PLK1 expression to possess antitumor activity.ConclusionTaken all these together, PHD/LR was expected to be a suitable carrier for specific delivering siRNA for lung cancer therapy.

Fabrication of Flexible pH-Responsive Agarose/Succinoglycan Hydrogels for Controlled Drug Release.

Project description:Agarose/succinoglycan hydrogels were prepared as pH-responsive drug delivery systems with significantly improved flexibility, thermostability, and porosity compared to agarose gels alone. Agarose/succinoglycan hydrogels were made using agarose and succinoglycan, a polysaccharide directly isolated from Sinorhizobium meliloti. Mechanical and physical properties of agarose/succinoglycan hydrogels were investigated using various instrumental methods such as rheological measurements, attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopic analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The results showed that the agarose/succinoglycan hydrogels became flexible and stable network gels with an improved swelling pattern in basic solution compared to the hard and brittle agarose gel alone. In addition, these hydrogels showed a pH-responsive delivery of ciprofloxacin (CPFX), with a cumulative release of ~41% within 35 h at pH 1.2 and complete release at pH 7.4. Agarose/succinoglycan hydrogels also proved to be non-toxic as a result of the cell cytotoxicity test, suggesting that these hydrogels would be a potential natural biomaterial for biomedical applications such as various drug delivery system and cell culture scaffolds.

pH-Responsive Microencapsulation Systems for the Oral Delivery of Polyanhydride Nanoparticles.

Project description:Multicompartmental polymer carriers, referred to as Polyanhydride-Releasing Oral MicroParticle Technology (PROMPT), were formed by a pH-triggered antisolvent precipitation technique. Polyanhydride nanoparticles were encapsulated into anionic pH-responsive microparticle gels, allowing for nanoparticle encapsulation in acidic conditions and subsequent release in neutral pH conditions. The effects of varying the nanoparticle composition and feed ratio on the encapsulation efficiency were evaluated. Nanoparticle encapsulation was confirmed by confocal microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. pH-triggered protein delivery from PROMPT was explored using ovalbumin (ova) as a model drug. PROMPT microgels released ova in a pH-controlled manner. Increasing the feed ratio of nanoparticles into the microgels increased the total amount of ova delivered, as well as decreased the observed burst release. The cytocompatibility of the polymer materials were assessed using cells representative of the GI tract. Overall, these results suggest that pH-dependent microencapsulation is a viable platform to achieve targeted intestinal delivery of polyanhydride nanoparticles and their payload(s).

Supramolecular PEGylated Dendritic Systems as pH/Redox Dual-Responsive Theranostic Nanoplatforms for Platinum Drug Delivery and NIR Imaging.

Project description:Recently, self-assembling small dendrimers into supramolecular dendritic systems offers an alternative strategy to develop multifunctional nanoplatforms for biomedical applications. We herein report a dual-responsive supramolecular PEGylated dendritic system for efficient platinum-based drug delivery and near-infrared (NIR) tracking. With a refined molecular/supramolecular engineering, supramolecular dendritic systems were stabilized by bioreducible disulfide bonds and endowed with NIR fluorescence probes, and PEGylated platinum derivatives coordinated onto the abundant peripheral groups of supramolecular dendritic templates to generate pH/redox dual-responsive theranostic supramolecular PEGylated dendritic systems (TSPDSs). TSPDSs markedly improved the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of platinum-based drugs, owing to their stable nanostructures and PEGylated shells during the blood circulation. Tumor intracellular environment (low pH value and high glutathione concentration) could trigger the rapid disintegration of TSPDSs due to acid-labile coordination bonds and redox-cleavable disulfide linkages, and then platinum-based drugs were delivered into the nuclei to exert antitumor activity. In vivo antitumor treatments indicated TSPDSs not only provided high antitumor efficiency which was comparable to clinical cisplatin, but also reduced renal toxicity of platinum-based drugs. Moreover, NIR fluorescence of TSPDSs successfully visualized in vitro and in vivo fate of nanoplatforms and disclosed the intracellular platinum delivery and pharmacokinetics. These results confirm tailor-made supramolecular dendritic system with sophisticated nanostructure and excellent performance is a promising candidate as smart theranostic nanoplatforms.

Novel Chitosan-Silica Hybrid Hydrogels for Cell Encapsulation and Drug Delivery.

Project description:Hydrogels constructed from naturally derived polymers provide an aqueous environment that encourages cell growth, however, mechanical properties are poor and degradation can be difficult to predict. Whilst, synthetic hydrogels exhibit some improved mechanical properties, these materials lack biochemical cues for cells growing and have limited biodegradation. To produce hydrogels that support 3D cell cultures to form tissue mimics, materials must exhibit appropriate biological and mechanical properties. In this study, novel organic-inorganic hybrid hydrogels based on chitosan and silica were prepared using the sol-gel technique. The chemical, physical and biological properties of the hydrogels were assessed. Statistical analysis was performed using One-Way ANOVAs and independent-sample t-tests. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed characteristic absorption bands including amide II, Si-O and Si-O-Si confirming formation of hybrid networks. Oscillatory rheometry was used to characterise the sol to gel transition and viscoelastic behaviour of hydrogels. Furthermore, in vitro degradation revealed both chitosan and silica were released over 21 days. The hydrogels exhibited high loading efficiency as total protein loading was released in a week. There were significant differences between TC2G and C2G at all-time points (p < 0.05). The viability of osteoblasts seeded on, and encapsulated within, the hydrogels was >70% over 168 h culture and antimicrobial activity was demonstrated against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecalis. The hydrogels developed here offer alternatives for biopolymer hydrogels for biomedical use, including for application in drug/cell delivery and for bone tissue engineering.
