Hyperbranched polyaminoglycosides were prepared by the polymerization of kanamycin, gentamicin, and neomycin, and <i>N,N'-</i>methylenebis(acrylamide) via a one-pot reaction. The secondary amines at the linear units of the hyperbranched polymers were subsequently reacted with NO gas at high pressure under alkaline conditions to form <i>N</i>-diazeniumdiolate NO donors. The resulting NO-releasing hyperbranched polyaminoglycosides exhibited a wide range of NO payloads (~0.4-1.3 µmol mg<sup>-1</sup ...[more]

Project description:Hyperbranched polyamidoamines (h-PAMAM) were prepared using a one-pot reaction to have similar molecular weight to third generation PAMAM (G3-PAMAM) dendrimers, and then functionalized with N-diazeniumdiolate nitric oxide (NO) donors. A wide range of NO storage capacities (∼1-2.50 μmol mg-1) and NO-release kinetics (t1/2 ∼30-80 min) were achieved by changing the extent of propylene oxide (PO) modification. The therapeutic potential of these materials was evaluated by studying their antibacterial activities and toxicity against common dental pathogens and human gingival fibroblast cells, respectively. Our results indicate that the combination of NO release and PO modification is necessary to yield h-PAMAM materials with efficient bactericidal action without eliciting unwarranted cytotoxicity. Of importance, NO-releasing PO-modified h-PAMAM polymers exhibited comparable biological properties (i.e., antibacterial action and cytotoxicity) to defect-free G3-PAMAM dendrimers, but at a substantially lower synthetic burden.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study investigates the antibiofilm action of nitric oxide (NO)-releasing hyperbranched polymers against ex vivo multispecies periodontal biofilms.MethodsThe antibiofilm efficacy of NO-releasing hyperbranched polymers was evaluated as a function of NO-release properties, polymer concentrations, and oxygen levels in the exposure media. 16s rRNA sequencing technique was employed to evaluate the impact of NO-releasing hyperbranched polymers on the microbial composition of the biofilms.ResultsThe addition of NO release significantly improved the antibiofilm action of the hyperbranched polymers, with NO-releasing hyperbranched polyamidoamines of largest NO payloads being more effective than hyperbranched polykanamycins. Furthermore, the NO-releasing hyperbranched polymers reduced the biofilm metabolic activity in a dose-dependent manner, killing biofilm-detached bacteria under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, with greater antimicrobial efficacy observed under aerobic conditions.SignificanceThese results demonstrate for the first time the potential therapeutic utility of NO-releasing hyperbranched polymers for treating multispecies dental biofilms.

Project description:The antibacterial activity of a series of nitric oxide (NO)-releasing poly(propylene imine) (PPI) dendrimers was evaluated against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus . A direct comparison of the bactericidal efficacy between NO-releasing and control PPI dendrimers (i.e., non-NO-releasing) revealed both enhanced biocidal action of NO-releasing dendrimers and reduced toxicity against mammalian fibroblast cells. Antibacterial activity for the NO donor-functionalized PPI dendrimers was shown to be a function of both dendrimer size (molecular weight) and exterior functionality. In addition to minimal toxicity against fibroblasts, NO-releasing PPI dendrimers modified with styrene oxide exhibited the greatest biocidal activity (≥99.999% killing) against all bacterial strains tested. The N-diazeniumdiolate NO donor-functionalized PPI dendrimers presented in this study hold promise as effective NO-based therapeutics for combating bacterial infections.

Project description:A series of amphiphilic nitric oxide (NO)-releasing poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers with different exterior functionalities were synthesized by a ring-opening reaction between primary amines on the dendrimer and propylene oxide (PO), 1,2-epoxy-9-decene (ED), or a ratio of the two, followed by reaction with NO at 10 atm to produce N-diazeniumdiolate-modified scaffolds with a total storage of ~1 ?mol/mg. The hydrophobicity of the exterior functionality was tuned by varying the ratio of PO and ED grafted onto the dendrimers. The bactericidal efficacy of these NO-releasing vehicles against established Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms was then evaluated as a function of dendrimer exterior hydrophobicity (i.e., ratio of PO/ED), size (i.e., generation), and NO release. Both the size and exterior functionalization of dendrimer proved important to a number of parameters including dendrimer-bacteria association, NO delivery efficiency, bacteria membrane disruption, migration within the biofilm, and toxicity to mammalian cells. Although enhanced bactericidal efficacy was observed for the hydrophobic chains (e.g., ED), toxicity to L929 mouse fibroblast cells was also noted at concentrations necessary to reduce bacterial viability by 5-logs (99.999% killing). The optimal PO to ED ratios for biofilm eradication with minimal toxicity against L929 mouse fibroblast cells were 7:3 and 5:5. The study presented herein demonstrated the importance of both dendrimer size and exterior properties in determining efficacy against established biofilms without compromising biocompatibility to mammalian cells.

Project description:A series of secondary amine-modified cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives was synthesized with diverse exterior terminal groups (i.e., hydroxyl, methyl, methoxyl, and primary amine). Subsequent reaction with nitric oxide (NO) gas under alkaline conditions yielded N-diazeniumdiolate-modified CD derivatives. Adjustable NO payloads (0.6-2.4 ?mol/mg) and release half-lives (0.7-4.2 h) were achieved by regulating both the amount of secondary amine precursors and the functional groups around the NO donors. The bactericidal action of these NO-releasing cyclodextrin derivatives was evaluated against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a Gram-negative pathogen, with antibacterial activity proving dependent on both the NO payload and exterior modification. Materials containing a high density of NO donors or primary amines exhibited the greatest ability to eradicate P. aeruginosa. Of the materials prepared, only the primary amine-terminated heptasubstituted CD derivatives exhibited toxicity against mammalian L929 mouse fibroblast cells. The NO donor-modified CD was also capable of delivering promethazine, a hydrophobic drug, thus demonstrating potential as a dual-drug-releasing therapeutic.

Project description:Low and high molecular weight alginate biopolymers were chemically modified to store and release potentially therapeutic levels of nitric oxide (NO). Carbodiimide chemistry was first used to modify carboxylic acid functional groups with a series of small molecule alkyl amines. The resulting secondary amines were subsequently converted to N-diazeniumdiolate NO donors via reaction with NO gas under basic conditions. NO donor-modified alginates stored between 0.4-0.6 μmol NO·mg-1. In aqueous solution, the NO-release kinetics were diverse (0.3-13 h half-lives), dependent on the precursor amine structure. The liberated NO showed bactericidal activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus with pathogen eradication efficiency dependent on both molecular weight and NO-release kinetics. The combination of lower molecular weight (∼5 kDa) alginates with moderate NO-release durations (half-life of ∼4 h) resulted in enhanced killing of both planktonic and biofilm-based bacteria. Toxicity against human respiratory epithelial (A549) cells proved negligible at NO-releasing alginate concentrations required to achieve a 5-log reduction in viability in the biofilm eradication assay.

Project description:In this study, the ability of porous silicon nanoparticles (PSi NPs) to entrap and deliver nitric oxide (NO) as an effective antibacterial agent is tested against different Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. NO was entrapped inside PSi NPs functionalized by means of the thermal hydrocarbonization (THC) process. Subsequent reduction of nitrite in the presence of d-glucose led to the production of large NO payloads without reducing the biocompatibility of the PSi NPs with mammalian cells. The resulting PSi NPs demonstrated sustained release of NO and showed remarkable antibacterial efficiency and anti-biofilm-forming properties. These results will set the stage to develop antimicrobial nanoparticle formulations for applications in chronic wound treatment.

Project description:The preparation of electrospun polymer microfibers with nitric oxide (NO)-release capabilities is described. Polymer solutions containing disodium 1-[2-(carboxylato)pyrrolidin-1-yl]diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (PROLI/NO), a low-molecular-weight NO donor, were electrospun to generate fibers ranging from 100-3000 nm in diameter capable of releasing NO upon immersion in aqueous solutions under physiological conditions (pH 7.4, 37 °C), with kinetics depending on polymer composition and fiber diameter. The NO release half-life for PROLI/NO-doped electrospun fibers was 2-200 times longer than that of PROLI/NO alone. The influence of polymer concentration, applied voltage, capillary diameter, solution conductivity, flow rate, and additives on fiber properties are reported and discussed with respect to potential applications.

Project description:Wild-type Campylobacter jejuni NCTC11168 was grown in 2 homemade, parallel chemostats. Cells were grown in 125 ml volumes of Mueller-Hinton Broth where the growth rate was controlled by the dilution rate (0.1 h-1). A gas mix of 80% nitrogen, 10% carbon dioxide and 10% oxygen was pumped into the head-space of the vessels at a rate of 0.25 l/min to obtain a microaerobic environment and the culture was maintained at 42 ºC via a water jacket. Cells were grown as above until steady-state had been reached. At steady-state one of the cultures was exposed to 10 uM NOC-5 & -7 (final concentration) for a period of 10 min. Samples of both the control and stressed cultures were harvested into phenol/ethanol to stabilize the RNA and total RNA was purified using Qiagen’s RNeasy Mini kit (as recommended by the suppliers) prior to use in microarray analysis. Equal quantities of RNA from control and GSNO-supplemented cultures were labelled using nucleotide analogues of dCTP containing either Cy3 or Cy5 fluorescent dyes. The average signal intensity and local background correction were obtained using a commercially available software package from Biodiscovery, Inc (Imagene, version 4.0 and GeneSight, version 4). The mean values from each channel were log2 transformed and normalised using the Lowess method to remove intensity-dependent effects in the log2(ratios) values. The Cy3/Cy5 fluorescent ratios were calculated from the normalized values. Keywords: Stress-response of a cgb mutant to NOC-5 & -7

The average signal intensity and local background correction were obtained using a commercially available software package from Biodiscovery, Inc (Imagene, version 4.0 and GeneSight, version 4). The mean values from each channel were log2 transformed and normalised using the Lowess method to remove intensity-dependent effects in the log2(ratios) values. The Cy3/Cy5 fluorescent ratios were calculated from the normalized values. C. jejuni NCTC11168 was grown in two parallel custom-built chemostats based on Sigma Proculture Dynalift spinner flasks with a working volume of 125 ml, and the dilution rate (which at steady state is equal to the specific growth rate) of 0.1 h-1. A gas mix of 10% O2, 10% CO2 and 80% N2 was passed into the head space of the culture vessel at a rate of 0.25 l min-1 to obtain a microaerobic atmosphere, and silicone water jackets maintained the temperature at 42 ºC. The flasks were placed on KMO 2 basic IKA-Werke stirrers (arbitrary setting, 260; Scientific Laboratory Supplies), which gaveeffective transfer of O2 from the gaseous atmosphere to the culture by virtue of a stable vortex. A fresh overflow sample was used to check the pH at the time of harvest (which was consistently between 6.6 and 7) and to ensure that there was no contamination by plating a 20 μl sample onto both nutrient agar plates incubated at 37 °C at atmospheric oxygen, and Mueller-Hinton plates incubated at 42 °C in the microaerophilic work station. When staedy-state was reached, as verified by collecting at least 5 culture volumes, NOC-5 & -7 (final concentration 10 uM) was added to one culture. After a further 10 min the 125 ml volume was separated into 3 equal volumes and each was mixed immediately on ice with 3.56 ml 100% ethanol and 185 ml phenol to stabilize the RNA. The cells were subsequently harvested by centrifugation. Total RNA was purified by using a Qiagen RNeasy Mini kit as recommended by the supplier. cDNA synthesis was carried out using 12 µg of starting material, which was primed with 9 µg of pd(N)6 random hexamers (Amersham Biosciences). Reaction mixtures (20 µl) containing 0.5 mM ATP, 0.5 mM TTP, 0.5 mM GTP, 0.2 mM CTP, and 1 mM Cy3- or 1 mM Cy5-dCTP were incubated for 2 h at 42 °C with 200 U of Superscript II RNase H reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen). Following synthesis, cDNA was purified by using a PCR purification kit (Qiagen) to remove the unincorporated deoxynucloside triphosphates, fluorescent dye, and primers. Equal volumes of cDNA were combined and evaporated to near dryness with an SPD121P Speed Vac (Thermon Savant). For hybridisation to the microarray slides, cDNA was resuspended in an appropriate volume of salt-based hybridization buffer (provided by Ocimum Biosolutions). Prior to addition to the slides, cDNA samples were heated to 95 °C for 3 min, and then placed on ice for no more than 3 min. The slides were placed in MWG Biotech hybridization chambers and incubated for 16 to 24 h in a shaking water bath at 110 rpm and 42 °C. Following incubation , the slides were washed sequentially for 5 min in 2x SSC-1 % sodium dodecyl sulphate, 1x SSC, 0.5x SSC and 0.1x SSC at 37 °C with gentle agitation (1x SSC is 0.15 M NaCl plus 0.015 M sodium citrate). The slides were dried by centrifugation at 254 xg for 5 min and subsequently scanned with an Affymetrix 428 scanner. The average signal intensity and local background correction were obtained by using commercially available software from Biodiscovery, Inc. (Imagine version 4.0, and Genesight, version 3.5). The mean values from each channel were log2 transformed and normalized by using the subtract-by-mean method to remove intensity-dependent effects in the log2 (ratio) values. The Cy3/Cy5 fluorescence ratios were calculated from the normalized values. Biological experiments (i.e. chemostat growth with and without 0.25 mM GSNO addition) were carried out three times and a dye swap was performed for two of the three experiments which provided two technical repeats, one each for two of the three biological repeats. Data from the independent experiments were combined. Genes that were differentially expressed â?¥ twofold and displayed and P value of â?¤ 0.05 (as determined by a t test) were defined as being statistically significantly differentially transcribed.
