Biocatalyzed Synthesis of Flavor Esters and Polyesters: A Design of Experiments (DoE) Approach.

ABSTRACT: In the present work, different hydrolases were adsorbed onto polypropylene beads to investigate their activity both in short-esters and polyesters synthesis. The software MODDE^® Pro 13 (Sartorius) was used to develop a full-factorial design of experiments (DoE) to analyse the thermostability and selectivity of the immobilized enzyme towards alcohols and acids with different chain lengths in short-esters synthesis reactions. The temperature optima of Candida antarctica lipase B (CaLB), Humicola insolens cutinase (HiC), and Thermobifida cellulosilytica cutinase 1 (Thc_Cut1) were 85 °C, 70 °C, and 50 °C. CaLB and HiC preferred long-chain alcohols and acids as substrate in contrast to Thc_Cut1, which was more active on short-chain monomers. Polymerization of different esters as building blocks was carried out to confirm the applicability of the obtained model on larger macromolecules. The selectivity of both CaLB and HiC was investigated and best results were obtained for dimethyl sebacate (DMSe), leading to polyesters with a M_w of 18 kDa and 6 kDa. For the polymerization of dimethyl adipate (DMA) with BDO and ODO, higher molecular masses were obtained when using CaLB onto polypropylene beads (CaLB_PP) as compared with CaLB immobilized on macroporous acrylic resin beads (i.e., Novozym 435). Namely, for BDO the M_n were 7500 and 4300 Da and for ODO 8100 and 5000 Da for CaLB_PP and for the commercial enzymes, respectively. Thc_Cut1 led to polymers with lower molecular masses, with M_n < 1 kDa. This enzyme showed a temperature optimum of 50 °C with 63% of DMA and BDO when compared to 54% and 27%, at 70 °C and at 85 °C, respectively.

Project description:Introduction: Cell membrane-covered biomimetic nanosystems have allowed the development of homologous nanostructures to bestow nanoparticles with enhanced biointerfacing capabilities. The stability of these structures, however, still represents a challenge for the scientific community. This study is aimed at developing and optimizing cell derived membrane-coated nanostructures upon applying design of experiments (DoE) to improve the therapeutic index by homotypic targeting in cancer cells. Methods: Important physicochemical features of the extracted cell membrane from tumoral cells were assessed by mass spectrometry-based proteomics. PLGA-based nanoparticles encapsulating temozolomide (TMZ NPs) were successfully developed. The coating technology applying the isolated U251 cell membrane (MB) was optimized using a fractional two-level three-factor factorial design. All the formulation runs were systematically characterized regarding their diameter, polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential (ZP). Experimental conditions generated by DoE were also subjected to morphological studies using negative-staining transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Its short-time stability was also assessed. MicroRaman and Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies and Confocal microscopy were used as characterization techniques for evaluating the NP-MB nanostructures. Internalization studies were carried out to evaluate the homotypic targeting ability. Results and Discussion: The results have shown that nearly 80% of plasma membrane proteins were retained in the cell membrane vesicles after the isolation process, including key proteins to the homotypic binding. DoE analysis considering acquired TEM images reveals that condition run five should be the best-optimized procedure to produce the biomimetic cell-derived membrane-coated nanostructure (NP-MB). Storage stability for at least two weeks of the biomimetic system is expected once the original characteristics of diameter, PDI, and ZP, were maintained. Raman, FTIR, and confocal characterization results have shown the successful encapsulation of TMZ drug and provided evidence of the effective coating applying the MB. Cell internalization studies corroborate the proteomic data indicating that the optimized NP-MB achieved specific targeting of homotypic tumor cells. The structure should retain the complex biological functions of U251 natural cell membranes while exhibiting physicochemical properties suitable for effective homotypic recognition. Conclusion: Together, these findings provide coverage and a deeper understanding regarding the dynamics around extracted cell membrane and polymeric nanostructures interactions and an in-depth insight into the cell membrane coating technology and the development of optimized biomimetic and bioinspired nanostructured systems.
