Highly Efficient Modular Construction of Functional Drug Delivery Platform Based on Amphiphilic Biodegradable Polymers via Click Chemistry.

ABSTRACT: Amphiphilic copolymers with pendant functional groups in polyester segments are widely used in nanomedicine. These enriched functionalities are designed to form covalent conjugates with payloads or provide additional stabilization effects for encapsulated drugs. A general method is successfully developed for the efficient preparation of functional biodegradable PEG-polyester copolymers via click chemistry. Firstly, in the presence of mPEG as initiator, Sn(Oct)₂-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization of the α-alkynyl functionalized lactone with D,L-lactide or ε-caprolactone afforded linear mPEG-polyesters bearing multiple pendant alkynyl groups. Kinetic studies indicated the formation of random copolymers. Through copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction, various small azido molecules with different functionalities to polyester segments are efficiently grafted. The molecular weights, polydispersities and grafting efficiencies of azido molecules of these copolymers were investigated by NMR and GPC. Secondly, it is demonstrated that the resulting amphiphilic functional copolymers with low CMC values could self-assemble to form nanoparticles in aqueous media. In addition, the in vitro degradation study and cytotoxicity assays indicated the excellent biodegradability and low cytotoxicity of these copolymers. This work provides a general approach toward the preparation of functional PEG-polyester copolymers in a quite efficient way, which may further facilitate the application of functional PEG-polyesters as drug delivery materials.

Highly Efficient Mono-Functionalization of Knob-in-Hole Antibodies with Strain-Promoted Click Chemistry.

Project description:Knob-in-hole antibodies can be utilized to introduce a single tag for chemo-enzymatic functionalization. By either introducing a single C-terminal sortase tag (sortase-tag expressed protein ligation) or tyrosine tag (G4Y), mono-functionalization of the monoclonal antibody trastuzumab was achieved rapidly and in high yields. This method was applied to selectively and efficiently introduce a single fluorescent tag, cytokine or single-chain variable fragment, as well as produce clean homo dimers of trastuzumab.

Modular synthesis of functional libraries by accelerated SuFEx click chemistry.

Project description:Accelerated SuFEx Click Chemistry (ASCC) is a powerful method for coupling aryl and alkyl alcohols with SuFEx-compatible functional groups. With its hallmark favorable kinetics and exceptional product yields, ASCC streamlines the synthetic workflow, simplifies the purification process, and is ideally suited for discovering functional molecules. We showcase the versatility and practicality of the ASCC reaction as a tool for the late-stage derivatization of bioactive molecules and in the array synthesis of sulfonate-linked, high-potency, microtubule targeting agents (MTAs) that exhibit nanomolar anticancer activity against multidrug-resistant cancer cell lines. These findings underscore ASCC's promise as a robust platform for drug discovery.

Copper-free click-chemistry platform to functionalize cisplatin prodrugs.

Project description:The ability to rationally design and construct a platform technology to develop new platinum(IV) [Pt(IV)] prodrugs with functionalities for installation of targeting moieties, delivery systems, fluorescent reporters from a single precursor with the ability to release biologically active cisplatin by using well-defined chemistry is critical for discovering new platinum-based therapeutics. With limited numbers of possibilities considering the sensitivity of Pt(IV) centers, we used a strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition approach to provide a platform, in which new functionalities can easily be installed on cisplatin prodrugs from a single Pt(IV) precursor. The ability of this platform to be incorporated in nanodelivery vehicle and conjugation to fluorescent reporters were also investigated.

Modular synthesis of biologically active phosphatidic acid probes using click chemistry.

Project description:Phosphatidic acid (PA) is an important signaling lipid that plays roles in a range of biological processes including both physiological and pathophysiological events. PA is one of a number of signaling lipids that can act as site-specific ligands for protein receptors in binding events that enforce membrane association and generally regulate both receptor function and subcellular localization. However, elucidation of the full scope of PA activities has proven problematic, primarily due to the lack of a consensus sequence among PA-binding receptors. Thus, experimental approaches, such as those employing lipid probes, are necessary for characterizing interactions at the molecular level. Herein, we describe an efficient modular approach to the synthesis of a range of PA probes that employs a late stage introduction of reporter groups. This strategy was exploited in the synthesis of PA probes bearing fluorescent and photoaffinity tags as well as a bifunctional probe containing both a photoaffinity moiety and an azide as a secondary handle for purification purposes. To discern the ability of these PA analogs to mimic the natural lipid in protein-binding properties, each compound was incorporated into vesicles for binding studies using a known PA receptor, the C2 domain of PKCalpha. In these studies, each compound exhibited binding properties that were comparable to those of synthetic PA, indicating their viability as probes for effectively studying the activities of PA in cellular processes.

Modular strategy for the construction of radiometalated antibodies for positron emission tomography based on inverse electron demand Diels-Alder click chemistry.

Project description:A modular system for the construction of radiometalated antibodies was developed based on the bioorthogonal cycloaddition reaction between 3-(4-benzylamino)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine and the strained dienophile norbornene. The well-characterized, HER2-specific antibody trastuzumab and the positron emitting radioisotopes (64)Cu and (89)Zr were employed as a model system. The antibody was first covalently coupled to norbornene, and this stock of norbornene-modified antibody was then reacted with tetrazines bearing the chelators 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclo-dodecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) or desferrioxamine (DFO) and subsequently radiometalated with (64)Cu and (89)Zr, respectively. The modification strategy is simple and robust, and the resultant radiometalated constructs were obtained in high specific activity (2.7-5.3 mCi/mg). For a given initial stoichiometric ratio of norbornene to antibody, the (64)Cu-DOTA- and (89)Zr-DFO-based probes were shown to be nearly identical in terms of stability, the number of chelates per antibody, and immunoreactivity (>93% in all cases). In vivo PET imaging and acute biodistribution experiments revealed significant, specific uptake of the (64)Cu- and (89)Zr-trastuzumab bioconjugates in HER2-positive BT-474 xenografts, with little background uptake in HER2-negative MDA-MB-468 xenografts or other tissues. This modular system-one in which the divergent point is a single covalently modified antibody stock that can be reacted selectively with various chelators-will allow for both greater versatility and more facile cross-comparisons in the development of antibody-based radiopharmaceuticals.

New modular platform based on multi-adjuvanted amphiphilic chitosan nanoparticles for efficient lipopeptide vaccine delivery against group A streptococcus.

Project description:An effective vaccine against group A streptococcus (GAS) is highly desirable for definitive control of GAS infections. In the present study, two variants of amphiphilic chitosan nanoparticles-based GAS vaccines were developed. The vaccines were primarily composed of encapsulated KLH protein (a source of T helper cell epitopes) and lipidated M-protein derived B cell peptide epitope (lipoJ14) within the amphiphilic structure of nanoparticles. The only difference between them was one of the nanoparticles vaccines received additional surface coating with poly (I:C). The formulated vaccines exhibited nanosized particles within the range of 220-240 nm. Cellular uptake study showed that nanoparticles vaccine without additional poly (I:C) coating has greater uptake by dendritic cells and macrophages compared to nanoparticles vaccine that was functionalized with poly (I:C). Both vaccines were found to be safe in mice and showed negligible cytotoxicity against HEK293 cells. Upon immunization in mice, both nanoparticle vaccines produced high antigen-specific antibodies titres that were regulated by a balanced Th1 and Th2 response compared to physical mixture. These antibodies elicited high opsonic activity against the tested GAS strains. Overall, our data demonstrated that amphiphilic chitosan nanoparticles platform induced a potent immune response even without additional inclusion of poly (I:C).

"Click" and Olefin Metathesis Chemistry in Water at Room Temperature Enabled by Biodegradable Micelles.

Project description:The two laboratory reactions focus on teaching several concepts associated with green chemistry. Each uses a commercial, nontoxic, and biodegradable surfactant, TPGS-750-M, to promote organic reactions within the lipophilic cores of nanoscale micelles in water. These experiments are based on work by K. Barry Sharpless (an azide-alkyne "click" reaction) and Robert Grubbs (an olefin cross-metathesis reaction); both are suitable for an undergraduate organic laboratory. The copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne [3+2] cycloaddition of benzyl azide and 4-tolylacetylene is very rapid: the triazole product is readily isolated by filtration and is characterized by thin-layer chromatography and melting point analysis. The ruthenium-catalyzed olefin cross-metathesis reaction of benzyl acrylate with 1-hexene is readily monitored by thin-layer chromatography and gas chromatography. The metathesis experiment comparatively evaluates the efficacy of a TPGS-750-M/water medium relative to a traditional reaction performed in dichloromethane (a common solvent used for olefin metathesis).
