Affinity-Directed Dynamics of Host-Guest Motifs for Pharmacokinetic Modulation via Supramolecular PEGylation.

ABSTRACT: Proteins are an impactful class of therapeutics but can exhibit suboptimal therapeutic performance, arising from poor control over the timescale of clearance. Covalent PEGylation is one established strategy to extend circulation time but often at the cost of reduced activity and increased immunogenicity. Supramolecular PEGylation may afford similar benefits without necessitating that the protein be permanently modified with a polymer. Here, we show that insulin pharmacokinetics can be modulated by tuning the affinity-directed dynamics of a host-guest motif used to non-covalently endow insulin with a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chain. When administered subcutaneously, supramolecular PEGylation with higher binding affinities extends the time of total insulin exposure systemically. Pharmacokinetic modeling reveals that the extension in the duration of exposure arises specifically from decreased absorption from the subcutaneous depot governed directly by the affinity and dynamics of host-guest exchange. The lifetime of the supramolecular interaction thus dictates the rate of absorption, with negligible impact attributed to association of the PEG upon rapid dilution of the supramolecular complex in circulation. This modular approach to supramolecular PEGylation offers a powerful tool to tune protein pharmacokinetics in response to the needs of different disease applications.

Superstructured Biomaterials Formed by Exchange Dynamics and Host-Guest Interactions in Supramolecular Polymers.

Project description:Dynamic and reversible assembly of molecules is ubiquitous in the hierarchical superstructures of living systems and plays a key role in cellular functions. Recent work from the laboratory reported on the reversible formation of such superstructures in systems of peptide amphiphiles conjugated to oligonucleotides and electrostatically complimentary peptide sequences. Here, a supramolecular system is reported upon where exchange dynamics and host-guest interactions between β-cyclodextrin and adamantane on peptide amphiphiles lead to superstructure formation. Superstructure formation with bundled nanoribbons generates a mechanically robust hydrogel with a highly porous architecture that can be 3D printed. Functionalization of the porous superstructured material with a biological signal results in a matrix with significant in vitro bioactivity toward neurons that could be used as a supramolecular model to design novel biomaterials.

Multivalency Enables Dynamic Supramolecular Host-Guest Hydrogel Formation.

Project description:Supramolecular and dynamic biomaterials hold promise to recapitulate the time-dependent properties and stimuli-responsiveness of the native extracellular matrix (ECM). Host-guest chemistry is one of the most widely studied supramolecular bonds, yet the binding characteristics of host-guest complexes (?-CD/adamantane) in relevant biomaterials have mostly focused on singular host-guest interactions or nondiscrete multivalent pendent polymers. The stepwise synergistic effect of multivalent host-guest interactions for the formation of dynamic biomaterials remains relatively unreported. In this work, we study how a series of multivalent adamantane (guest) cross-linkers affect the overall binding affinity and ability to form supramolecular networks with alginate-CD (Alg-CD). These binding constants of the multivalent cross-linkers were determined via NMR titrations and showed increases in binding constants occurring with multivalent constructs. The higher multivalent cross-linkers enabled hydrogel formation; furthermore, an increase in binding and gelation was observed with the inclusion of a phenyl spacer to the cross-linker. A preliminary screen shows that only cross-linking Alg-CD with an 8-arm-multivalent guest results in robust gel formation. These cytocompatible hydrogels highlight the importance of multivalent design for dynamically cross-linked hydrogels. These materials hold promise for development toward cell- and small molecule-delivery platforms and allow discrete and fine-tuning of network properties.

Guest packing motifs within a supramolecular nanocapsule and a covalent analogue.

Project description:Two hosts that utilize the hydrophobic effect to assemble and/or encapsulate guest molecules were studied. The hosts, octa-acid (OA) and hexalene diamine-linked octa-acid (HOA), were shown to complex a broad range of n-alkanes up to n-hexacosane (C26H54). A combination of (1)H NMR, NMR diffusion, COSY, and NOESY experiments revealed four different guest packing motifs, depending on the size of the guest and the nature of the host. As a function of guest size, smooth transitions from one motif to the next were observed and allowed qualification of their relative stabilities. Furthermore, although the two hosts engender ostensibly identical encapsulation environments, their different assembly properties lead to quite distinct packing-motif profiles, i.e., how the motifs change as a function of guest size.

Supramolecular host-guest interaction of trityl-nitroxide biradicals with cyclodextrins: modulation of spin-spin interaction and redox sensitivity.

Project description:Supramolecular host-guest interactions of trityl-nitroxide (TN) biradicals CT02-VT, CT02-AT and CT02-GT with methyl-?-cyclodextrin (M-?-CD), hydroxypropyl-?-cyclodextrin (H-?-CD) and ?-cyclodextrin (?-CD) were investigated by EPR spectroscopy. In the presence of cyclodextrins (i.e., ?-CD, M-?-CD and H-?-CD), host-guest complexes of CT02-VT are formed where the nitroxide and linker parts possibly interact with the cyclodextrins' cavities. Complexation with cyclodextrins leads to suppression of the intramolecular through-space spin-spin exchange coupling in CT02-VT, thus allowing the determination of the through-bond spin-spin exchange coupling which was calculated to be 1.6 G using EPR simulations. Different types of cyclodextrins have different binding affinities with CT02-VT in the order of ?-CD (95 M(-1)) > M-?-CD (70 M(-1)) > H-?-CD (32 M(-1)). In addition, the effect of the linkers in TN biradicals on the host-guest interactions was also investigated. Among the three TN biradicals studied, CT02-VT has the highest association constant with one designated cyclodextrin derivative. On the other hand, the complexes of CT02-GT (? 22 G) and CT02-AT (7.7-9.0 G) with cyclodextrins have much higher through-bond spin-spin exchange couplings than those of CT02-VT (1.6 G) due to the shorter linkers than those of CT02-VT. Furthermore, the stability of TN biradicals towards ascorbate was significantly enhanced after the complexation with CDs, with an almost 2-fold attenuation of the second-order rate constants for all the biradicals. Therefore, the supramolecular host-guest interactions with cyclodextrins will be an alternative method to modulate the magnitude of the spin-spin interactions and redox sensitivity of TN biradicals, and the resulting complexes are promising as highly efficient DNP polarizing agents as well as EPR redox probes.

Evolution of hierarchical porous structures in supramolecular guest-host hydrogels.

Project description:Macromolecular interactions are used to form supramolecular assemblies, including through the interaction of guest-host chemical pairs. Microstructural heterogeneity has been observed within such physical hydrogels; yet, systematic investigation of the microstructure and its determining inputs are lacking. Herein, we investigated the hierarchical self-assembly of hyaluronic acid (HA) modified by the guest-host pair adamantane (Ad-HA, guest) and ?-cyclodextrin (CD-HA, host), as well as with methacrylate groups to both tether fluorescent agents and to covalently stabilize the material structure. We observed microporous materials in the hydrated state, which temporally arose from initially homogenous hydrogels composed of the two polymers. Independent fluorescent labeling of Ad-HA and CD-HA demonstrated spatiotemporal co-localization, indicative of guest-host polymer condensation on the microscale. The hydrogel void fractions and pore diameters were independently tuned through incubation time (0-7 days), polymer concentration (1.25-10 wt%), and polymer modification (25-50% Ad-HA modification). Void fractions as great as 93.3 ± 2.4% were achieved and pore diameters ranged from 2.1 ± 0.5 to 1025.4 ± 209.4 ?m. The segregation of discrete solid and solute phases was measured with both atomic force microscopy and diffusive microparticle tracking analysis, where the solute phase contained only dilute polymer. The study represents a systematic investigation of hierarchical self-assembly in binary associating hydrogels, and provides insights on mechanisms that control microstructure within supramolecular hydrogels.

Fluorescence detected circular dichroism (FDCD) for supramolecular host-guest complexes.

Project description:Fluorescence-detected circular dichroism (FDCD) spectroscopy is applied for the first time to supramolecular host-guest and host-protein systems and compared to the more known electronic circular dichroism (ECD). We find that FDCD can be an excellent choice for common supramolecular applications, e.g. for the detection and chirality sensing of chiral organic analytes, as well as for reaction monitoring. Our comprehensive investigations demonstrate that FDCD can be conducted in favorable circumstances at much lower concentrations than ECD measurements, even in chromophoric and auto-emissive biofluids such as blood serum, overcoming the sensitivity limitation of absorbance-based chiroptical spectroscopy. Besides, the combined use of FDCD and ECD can provide additional valuable information about the system, e.g. the chemical identity of an analyte or hidden aggregation phenomena. We believe that simultaneous FDCD- and ECD-based chiroptical characterization of emissive supramolecular systems will be of general benefit for characterizing fluorescent, chiral supramolecular systems due to the higher information content obtained by their combined use.

Size compatibility and concentration dependent supramolecular host-guest interactions at interfaces.

Project description:The quantification of supramolecular host-guest interactions is important for finely modulating supramolecular systems. Previously, most host-guest interactions quantified using force spectroscopic techniques have been reported in force units. However, accurately evaluating the adhesion energies of host-guest pairs remains challenging. Herein, using a surface forces apparatus, we directly quantify the interaction energies between cyclodextrin (CD)-modified surfaces and ditopic adamantane (DAd) molecules in water as a function of the DAd concentration and the CD cavity size. The adhesion energy of the β-CD-DAd complex drastically increased with increasing DAd concentration and reached saturation. Moreover, the molecular adhesion energy of a single host-guest inclusion complex was evaluated to be ~9.51 kBT. This approach has potential for quantifying fundamental information toward furthering the understanding of supramolecular chemistry and its applications, such as molecular actuators, underwater adhesives, and biosensors, which require precise tuning of specific host-guest interactions.

Tailoring supramolecular guest-host hydrogel viscoelasticity with covalent fibrinogen double networks.

Project description:Supramolecular chemistry has enabled the design of tunable biomaterials that mimic the dynamic and viscoelastic characteristics of the extracellular matrix. However, the noncovalent nature of supramolecular bonds renders them inherently weak, limiting their applicability to many biomedical applications. To address this, we formulated double network (DN) hydrogels through a combination of supramolecular and covalent networks to tailor hydrogel viscoelastic properties. Specifically, DN hydrogels were formed through the combination of supramolecular guest-host (GH) hyaluronic acid (HA) networks with covalent networks from the photocrosslinking of acrylated poly(ethylene glycol) modified fibrinogen (PEG-fibrinogen) and PEG diacrylate. DN hydrogels exhibited higher compressive moduli, increased failure stresses, and increased toughness when compared to purely covalent networks. While GH concentration had little influence on the compressive moduli across DN hydrogels, an increase in the GH concentration resulted in more viscous behavior of DN hydrogels. High viability of encapsulated bovine mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) was observed across groups with enhanced spreading and proliferation in DN hydrogels with increased GH concentration. This combination of supramolecular and covalent chemistries enables the formation of dynamic hydrogels with tunable properties that can be customized towards repair of viscoelastic tissues.

Supramolecular Hydrogel Based on pNIPAm Microgels Connected via Host⁻Guest Interactions.

Project description:In this work, host⁻guest supramolecular hydrogels were prepared from poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) microgels utilizing electrostatic and host/guest self-assembly. First, pNIPAm microgels bearing a poly(acrylic acid) (pAAc) shell were coated with positively charged β-cyclodextrin polymers. Addition of adamantane-substituted dextrans (Dex-Ada) allowed us to establish interparticle connections through β-cyclodextrin-adamantane (βCD-Ada) inclusion complex formation, and thus to prepare hierarchical hydrogels. Under the conditions of hydrogel formation, close contact between the microgels was ensured. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of doubly crosslinked microgels prepared by noncovalent crosslinking via host⁻guest interactions. The prepared macrogels were studied with rheology, and fast mechanical response to temperature variation was found. Furthermore, the hydrogels exhibit fully reversible temperature-induced gel⁻sol transition at the physiological temperature range (37⁻41 °C), due to the synergetic effect between shrinking of the microgels and dissociation of βCD-Ada crosslinks at higher temperatures. This opens up attractive prospects of their potential use in biomedical applications.
