Hybrid Multivalent Jack Bean α-Mannosidase Inhibitors: The First Example of Gold Nanoparticles Decorated with Deoxynojirimycin Inhitopes.

ABSTRACT: Among carbohydrate-processing enzymes, Jack bean α-mannosidase (JBα-man) is the glycosidase with the best responsiveness to the multivalent presentation of iminosugar inhitopes. We report, in this work, the preparation of water dispersible gold nanoparticles simultaneously coated with the iminosugar deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) inhitope and simple monosaccharides (β-d-gluco- or α-d-mannosides). The display of DNJ at the gold surface has been modulated (i) by using an amphiphilic linker longer than the aliphatic chain used for the monosaccharides and (ii) by presenting the inhitope, not only in monomeric form, but also in a trimeric fashion through combination of a dendron approach with glyconanotechnology. The latter strategy resulted in a strong enhancement of the inhibitory activity towards JBα-man, with a K_i in the nanomolar range (K_i = 84 nM), i.e., more than three orders of magnitude higher than the monovalent reference compound.

Characterization of jack-bean alpha-D-mannosidase as a zinc metalloenzyme.

Project description:1. Two methods were used to obtain alpha-mannosidase free from unbound Zn2+, (a) by removal of excess of metal ion from preparations purified in the presence of Zn2+ and (b) by purification under conditions that eliminate the need to add Zn2+. 2. The purified enzyme is homogeneous on ultracentrifugation, polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and gel chromatography. 3. The molecular weight is estimated to be 230 000. 4. The enzyme contains between 470 and 565 mug of zinc/g of protein, corresponding to between 1.7 and 2 atoms of zinc/enzyme molecule. The contents of other metals are much lower. 5. The enzyme is inactivated by chelating agents and activity is restored by Zn2+. 6. No other metal ion was found to replace Zn2+ with retention of activity. Some bivalent metal ions, e.g. Cu2+, rapidly inactivate the enzyme. 7. The results indicate that jack-bean alpha-mannosidase exists naturally as a zinc-protein complex and may be considered as a metalloenzyme.

Purification and properties of alpha-D-mannosidase from jack-bean meal.

Project description:1. alpha-Mannosidase from jack-bean meal was purified 150-fold. beta-N-Acetyl-glucosaminidase and beta-galactosidase were removed from the preparation by treatment with pyridine. Zn(2+) was added during the purification to stabilize the alpha-mannosidase. 2. At pH values below neutrality, alpha-mannosidase undergoes reversible spontaneous inactivation at a rate dependent on the temperature, the degree of dilution and the extent of purification. The enzyme is also subject to irreversible inactivation, which is prevented by the addition of albumin. 3. Reversible inactivation of alpha-mannosidase is accelerated by EDTA and reversed or prevented by Zn(2+). Other cations, such as Co(2+), Cd(2+) and Cu(2+), accelerate inactivation; an excess of Zn(2+) again exerts a protective action, and so does EDTA in suitable concentration. 4. Neither Zn(2+) nor EDTA has any marked effect in the assay of untreated enzyme. In an EDTA-treated preparation, however, Zn(2+) reactivates the enzyme during assay. 5. It is postulated that alpha-mannosidase is a dissociable Zn(2+)-protein complex in which Zn(2+) is essential for enzyme activity.

Inhibition of HIV fusion with multivalent gold nanoparticles.

Project description:The design and synthesis of a multivalent gold nanoparticle therapeutic is presented. SDC-1721, a fragment of the potent HIV inhibitor TAK-779, was synthesized and conjugated to 2.0 nm diameter gold nanoparticles. Free SDC-1721 had no inhibitory effect on HIV infection; however, the (SDC-1721)-gold nanoparticle conjugates displayed activity comparable to that of TAK-779. This result suggests that multivalent presentation of small molecules on gold nanoparticle surfaces can convert inactive drugs into potent therapeutics.

Mannose-decorated hybrid nanoparticles for enhanced macrophage targeting.

Project description:Our goal was to design nanocarriers that specifically target and deliver therapeutics to polarized macrophages. Mannose receptors are highly overexpressed on polarized macrophages. In this study, we constructed Pluronic® -F127 polymer and tannic acid (TA) based nanoparticles (F127-TA core nanoparticles) with varying mannose densities. The particle size of the optimized mannose-decorated F127-TA hybrid nanoparticles (MDNPs) was found to be ~?265?nm with a negative zeta potential of ~ -?4.5?mV. No significant changes in the size and zeta potentials of nanoparticles were observed, which demonstrated structural integrity and stability of the nanoformulation. Physicochemical characteristics of MDNPs were evaluated by FTIR and TGA and demonstrated the presence of mannose units on surface nanoparticles. A mannose-dependent cellular targeting and uptake of MDNPs was found in U937 macrophages. The uptake process was found to vary directly with time and volume of MDNPs nanoparticles. The uptake pattern is higher in M2 than M1. This behavior was also evident from the instantaneous and superior binding profile of M2 macrophage lysate protein with MDNPs over that of M1 macrophage lysate protein. These results demonstrated that an appropriate mannose ligand density was confirmed, suggesting efficient targeting of M2. Altogether, these data support that the MDNPs formulation could serve as a targeted therapeutic guide in the generation of nanomedicine to treat various conditions as an anti-inflammation therapy.

Luminescent Gold Nanocluster-Decorated Polymeric Hybrid Particles with Assembly-Induced Emission.

Project description:Ultrasmall gold atom clusters (<2 nm in diameter) or gold nanoclusters exhibit emergent photonic properties (near-infrared absorption and emission) compared to larger plasmonic gold particles because of the significant quantization of their conduction band. Although single gold nanocluster properties and applications are being increasingly investigated, little is still known about their behavior and properties when assembled into suprastructures, and even fewer studies are investigating their use for biomedical applications. Here, a simple synthetic pathway combines gold nanoclusters with thermosensitive diblock copolymers of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly( N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) to form a new class of gold-polymer, micelle-forming, hybrid nanoparticle. The nanohybrids' design is uniquely centered on enabling the temperature-dependent self-assembly of gold nanoclusters into the hydrophobic cores of micelles. This nonbulk assembly not only preserves but also enhances the attractive near-infrared photonics of the gold nanoclusters by significantly increasing their native fluorescent signal. In parallel to the fundamental insights into gold nanocluster ordering and assembly, the gold-polymer nanohybrids also demonstrated great potential as fluorescent live-imaging probes in vitro. This innovative material design based on the temperature-dependent, self-assembly of gold nanoclusters within a polymeric micelle's core shows great promise toward bioassays, nanosensors, and nanomedicine.

Melamine Foams Decorated with In-Situ Synthesized Gold and Palladium Nanoparticles.

Project description:A versatile and straightforward route to produce polymer foams with functional surface through their decoration with gold and palladium nanoparticles is proposed. Melamine foams, used as polymeric porous substrates, are first covered with a uniform coating of polydimethylsiloxane, thin enough to assure the preservation of their original porous structure. The polydimethylsiloxane layer allows the facile in-situ formation of metallic Au and Pd nanoparticles with sizes of tens of nanometers directly on the surface of the struts of the foam by the direct immersion of the foams into gold or palladium precursor solutions. The effect of the gold and palladium precursor concentration, as well as the reaction time with the foams, to the amount and sizes of the nanoparticles synthesized on the foams, was studied and the ideal conditions for an optimized functionalization were defined. Gold and palladium contents of about 1 wt.% were achieved, while the nanoparticles were proven to be stably adhered to the foam, avoiding potential risks related to their accidental release.

'Multicopy multivalent' glycopolymer-stabilized gold nanoparticles as potential synthetic cancer vaccines.

Project description:Mucin-related carbohydrates are overexpressed on the surface of cancer cells, providing a disease-specific target for cancer immunotherapy. Here, we describe the design and construction of peptide-free multivalent glycosylated nanoscale constructs as potential synthetic cancer vaccines that generate significant titers of antibodies selective for aberrant mucin glycans. A polymerizable version of the Tn-antigen glycan was prepared and converted into well-defined glycopolymers by Reversible Addition-Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The polymers were then conjugated to gold nanoparticles, yielding 'multicopy-multivalent' nanoscale glycoconjugates. Immunological studies indicated that these nanomaterials generated strong and long-lasting production of antibodies that are selective to the Tn-antigen glycan and cross-reactive toward mucin proteins displaying Tn. The results demonstrate proof-of-concept of a simple and modular approach toward synthetic anticancer vaccines based on multivalent glycosylated nanomaterials without the need for a typical vaccine protein component.

Redox-Active Hybrid Polyoxometalate-Stabilised Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:We report the design and preparation of multifunctional hybrid nanomaterials through the stabilization of gold nanoparticles with thiol-functionalised hybrid organic-inorganic polyoxometalates (POMs). The covalent attachment of the hybrid POM forms new nanocomposites that are stable at temperatures and pH values which destroy analogous electrostatically functionalised nanocomposites. Photoelectrochemical analysis revealed the unique photochemical and redox properties of these systems.

Surface decorated gold nanoparticles by linear and cyclic peptides as molecular transporters.

Project description:Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized in situ in a green and rapid method from the reaction of reducing linear and cyclic peptides containing tryptophan and lysine residues, (KW)5 and cyclic [KW]5, with an aqueous solution of HAuCl4 and were evaluated as cellular nanodrug delivery systems. The cyclic or linear nature of the peptide was found to determine the morphology and size of the formed peptide-AuNPs and their in vitro molecular transporting efficiency. While cyclic [KW]5-AuNPs formed sponge-like agglomerates, linear (KW)5-AuNPs demonstrated ball-shaped structures. A comparative flow cytometry study showed that the cellular uptake of fluorescence-labeled anti-HIV drugs (emtricitabine (FTC) and lamivudine (3TC)) in human leukemia (CCRF-CEM) cells, and a negatively charged cell-impermeable phosphopeptide (GpYEEI) in human ovarian adecarcinoma (SK-OV-3) cells was significantly higher in the presence of cyclic [KW]5-AuNPs than that of linear (KW)5-AuNPs, parent cyclic [KW]5, and linear (KW)5 peptides. For example, the cellular uptake of F'-GpYEEI was enhanced 12.8-fold by c[KW]5-AuNPs. Confocal microscopy revealed the localization of fluorescence-labeled-3TC in the presence of c[KW]5-AuNPs mostly in nucleus in SK-OV-3 cells after 1 h. On the other hand, l(KW)5-AuNPs delivered fluorescence-labeled-3TC in cytoplasm. These data suggest that noncell penetrating peptides can be converted to efficient molecular transporters through peptide-capped AuNPs formation.
