Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:8422. [PMID: 39125990 PMCID: PMC11312434 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25158422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/27/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The terpolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone (VP) with acrylic acid and triethylene glycol methacrylate were synthesized with more than 90% yield by radical copolymerization in ethanol from monomeric mixtures of different molar composition (98:2:2, 95:5: 2 and 98:2:5) and their monomer composition, absolute molecular masses and hydrodynamic radii in aqueous media were determined. Using the MTT test, these terpolymers were established to be low toxic for non-tumor Vero cells and HeLa tumor cells. Polymer compositions of hydrophobic dye methyl pheophorbide a (MPP) based on studied terpolymers and linear polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were obtained and characterized in water solution. Quantum-chemical modeling of the MPP-copolymer structures was conducted, and the possibility of hydrogen bond formation between terpolymer units and the MPP molecule was shown. Using fluorescence microscopy, the accumulation and distribution of polymer particles in non-tumor (FetMSC) and tumor (HeLa) cells was studied, and an increase in the accumulation of MPP with both types of particles was found.

Abstract
Gene therapy is extensively studied as a realistic and promising therapeutic approach for treating inherited and acquired diseases by repairing defective genes through introducing (transfection) the "healthy" genetic material in the diseased cells. To succeed, the proper DNA or RNA fragments need efficient vectors, and viruses are endowed with excellent transfection efficiency and have been extensively exploited. Due to several drawbacks related to their use, nonviral cationic materials, including lipidic, polymeric, and dendrimer vectors capable of electrostatically interacting with anionic phosphate groups of genetic material, represent appealing alternative options to viral carriers. Particularly, dendrimers are highly branched, nanosized synthetic polymers characterized by a globular structure, low polydispersity index, presence of internal cavities, and a large number of peripheral functional groups exploitable to bind cationic moieties. Dendrimers are successful in several biomedical applications and are currently extensively studied for nonviral gene delivery. Among dendrimers, those derived by 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propanoic acid (b-HMPA), having, unlike PAMAMs, a neutral polyester-based scaffold, could be particularly good-looking due to their degradability in vivo. Here, an overview of gene therapy, its objectives and challenges, and the main cationic materials studied for transporting and delivering genetic materials have been reported. Subsequently, due to their high potential for application in vivo, we have focused on the biodegradable dendrimer scaffolds, telling the history of the birth and development of b-HMPA-derived dendrimers. Finally, thanks to a personal experience in the synthesis of b-HMPA-based dendrimers, our contribution to this field has been described. In particular, we have enriched this work by reporting about the b-HMPA-based derivatives peripherally functionalized with amino acids prepared by us in recent years, thus rendering this paper original and different from the existing reviews.

Remdesivir-loaded bis-MPA hyperbranched dendritic nanocarriers for pulmonary delivery. J Drug Deliv Sci Technol 2022; 75:103625.

Abstract
Remdesivir is the only clinically available antiviral drug for the treatment of COVID-19. However, its very limited aqueous solubility confines its therapeutic activity and the development of novel inhaled nano-based drug delivery systems of remdesivir for enhanced lung tissue targeting and efficacy is internationally pursued. In this work 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid (bis-MPA) hyperbranched dendritic nano-scaffolds were employed as nanocarriers of remdesivir. The produced nano-formulations, empty and loaded, consisted of monodisperse nanoparticles with spherical morphology and neutral surface charge and sizes ranging between 80 and 230 nm. The entrapment efficiency and loading capacity of the loaded samples were 82.0% and 14.1%, respectively, whereas the release of the encapsulated drug was complete after 48 h. The toxicity assays in healthy MRC-5 lung diploid fibroblasts and NR8383 alveolar macrophages indicated their suitability as potential remdesivir carriers in the respiratory system. The novel nano-formulations are non-toxic in both tested cell lines, with IC50 values higher than 400 μΜ after 72 h treatment. Moreover, both free and encapsulated remdesivir exhibited very similar IC50 values, at the range of 80-90 μM, while its aqueous solubility was increased, overall presenting a suitable profile for application in inhaled delivery of therapeutics.

Abstract
Although doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most used chemotherapeutic drugs due to its efficacy against a wide group of cancer types, it presents severe side effects. As such, intensive research is being carried out to find new nanoscale systems that can help to overcome this problem. Polyester dendrimers based on the monomer 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid (bis-MPA) are very promising systems for biomedical applications due to their biodegradability properties. In this study, bis-MPA-based dendrimers were, for the first time, evaluated as DOX delivery vehicles. Generations 4 and 5 of bis-MPA-based dendrimers with hydroxyl groups at the surface were used (B-G4-OH and B-G5-OH), together with dendrimers partially functionalized with amine groups (B-G4-NH2/OH and B-G5-NH2/OH). Partial functionalization was chosen because the main purpose was to compare the effect of different functional groups on dendrimers' drug delivery behavior without compromising cell viability, which is often affected by dendrimers' cationic charge. Results revealed that bis-MPA-based dendrimers were cytocompatible, independently of the chemical groups that were present at their surface. The B-G4-NH2/OH and B-G5-NH2/OH dendrimers were able to retain a higher number of DOX molecules, but the in vitro release of the drug was faster. On the contrary, the hydroxyl-terminated dendrimers exhibited a lower loading capacity but were able to deliver the drug in a more sustained manner. These results were in accordance with the cytotoxicity studies performed in several models of cancer cell lines and human mesenchymal stem cells. Overall, the results confirmed that it is possible to tune the drug delivery properties of bis-MPA-based dendrimers by modifying surface functionalization. Moreover, molecular modeling studies provided insights into the nature of the interactions established between the drug and the bis-MPA-based dendrimers─DOX molecules attach to their surface rather than being physically encapsulated.

Abstract
Multi-drug delivery systems constructed from a basic polymeric scaffold, and which have the ability to target a variety of biomedical applications, can streamline the development of nanomedicine to provide both environmental and economical relief. Herein, amphiphilic ABA-triblock copolymers are synthesized and assembled sequentially into micelles and nanogels as drug delivery systems following a thorough evaluation on advanced in vitro models to explore their potential for the treatment of cancer and bacterial infections. Short blocks of 5-methyl-5-allyloxycarbonyl-1,3-dioxan-2-one (MAC) are oligomerized from PEG6k and thereafter functionalized with dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa)-functional thiols using thiol-ene coupling (TEC) click chemistry. The copolymers self-assemble into well-defined micelles in aqueous solution and are further formulated into nanogels via UV-induced TEC. The resulting spherical micelles and nanogels are stable nanoparticles, with sizes ranging between 100 and 200 nm. The nanogels are found to be non-toxic to a panel of cell lines and mask the toxicity of the potent drugs until their release. The nanogels would be superior to micelles for the elimination of cancer cells supported by both 2D cell culture and a 3D spheroid model. The opposite conclusion could be drawn for bacteria inhibition.

Abstract
Breast cancer is among the most common types of cancer in women and it is the cause of a high rate of mortality globally. The use of anticancer drugs is the standard treatment approach used for this type of cancer. However, most of these drugs are limited by multi-drug resistance, drug toxicity, poor drug bioavailability, low water solubility, poor pharmacokinetics, etc. To overcome multi-drug resistance, combinations of two or more anticancer drugs are used. However, the combination of two or more anticancer drugs produce toxic side effects. Micelles and dendrimers are promising drug delivery systems that can overcome the limitations associated with the currently used anticancer drugs. They have the capability to overcome drug resistance, reduce drug toxicity, improve the drug solubility and bioavailability. Different classes of anticancer drugs have been loaded into micelles and dendrimers, resulting in targeted drug delivery, sustained drug release mechanism, increased cellular uptake, reduced toxic side effects of the loaded drugs with enhanced anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo. This review article reports the biological outcomes of dendrimers and micelles loaded with different known anticancer agents on breast cancer in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The family of Boltorn™ H40 dendrimers is an imperative subclass of hyperbranched biodegradable polymers (HBPs), which has received mounting attention as a result of its inimitable chemical, physical and biodegradable properties. These properties embrace three-dimensional dendrimeric nanoarchitecture to avert tanglement between polymer branches, adequate spatial cavities for increased encapsulation of guest molecules, good solubility as well as low viscosity to improve processability, and a huge number of surface functional groups for chemical manipulations. Similarly, low toxicity, non-immunogenicity, and natural biodegradation are significant and critical advantages in therapeutic applications as compared to other dendritic polymers. All these characteristics of Boltorn™ H40 are of pronounced importance for planning and developing advanced targeted cargo delivery carriers for cancer therapy. The present review highlights the applications of Boltorn™ H40 HBPs for the transport of chemotherapeutic agents to manage various types of cancers.

The Role of Branch Cell Symmetry and Other Critical Nanoscale Design Parameters in the Determination of Dendrimer Encapsulation Properties. Biomolecules 2020; 10:biom10040642.

Abstract
This article reviews progress over the past three decades related to the role of dendrimer-based, branch cell symmetry in the development of advanced drug delivery systems, aqueous based compatibilizers/solubilizers/excipients and nano-metal cluster catalysts. Historically, it begins with early unreported work by the Tomalia Group (i.e., The Dow Chemical Co.) revealing that all known dendrimer family types may be divided into two major symmetry categories; namely: Category I: symmetrical branch cell dendrimers (e.g., Tomalia, Vögtle, Newkome-type dendrimers) possessing interior hollowness/porosity and Category II: asymmetrical branch cell dendrimers (e.g., Denkewalter-type) possessing no interior void space. These two branch cell symmetry features were shown to be pivotal in directing internal packing modes; thereby, differentiating key dendrimer properties such as densities, refractive indices and interior porosities. Furthermore, this discovery provided an explanation for unimolecular micelle encapsulation (UME) behavior observed exclusively for Category I, but not for Category II. This account surveys early experiments confirming the inextricable influence of dendrimer branch cell symmetry on interior packing properties, first examples of Category (I) based UME behavior, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) protocols for systematic encapsulation characterization, application of these principles to the solubilization of active approved drugs, engineering dendrimer critical nanoscale design parameters (CNDPs) for optimized properties and concluding with high optimism for the anticipated role of dendrimer-based solubilization principles in emerging new life science, drug delivery and nanomedical applications.

Abstract
Drug delivery to solid tumour involves multiple physiological, biochemical and biophysical processes taking place across a wide range of length and time scales. The therapeutic efficacy of anticancer drugs is influenced by the complex interplays among the intrinsic properties of tumours, biophysical aspects of drug transport and cellular uptake. Mathematical and computational modelling allows for a well-controlled study on the individual and combined effects of a wide range of parameters on drug transport and therapeutic efficacy, which would not be possible or economically viable through experimental means. A wide spectrum of mathematical models has been developed for the simulation of drug transport and delivery in solid tumours, including PK/PD-based compartmental models, microscopic and macroscopic transport models, and molecular dynamics drug loading and release models. These models have been used as a tool to identify the limiting factors and for optimal design of efficient drug delivery systems. This article gives an overview of the currently available computational models for drug transport in solid tumours, together with their applications to novel drug delivery systems, such as nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery and convection-enhanced delivery.

Abstract
Redox-sensitive hyperbranched dendritic-linear polymers (HBDLPs) were prepared and stabilized individually as unimolecular micelles with diameters in the range 25-40 nm. The high molecular weight (500-950 kDa), core-shell amphiphilic structures were synthesized through a combination of self-condensing vinyl copolymerization (SCVCP) and atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Cleavable disulfide bonds were introduced, either in the backbone, or in pendant groups, of the hyperbranched core of the HBDLPs. By triggered reductive degradation, the HBDLPs showed up to a 7-fold decrease in molecular weight, and the extent of degradation was tuned by the amount of incorporated disulfides. The HBDLP with pendant disulfide-linked functionalities in the hyperbranched core was readily postfunctionalized with a hydrophobic dye, as a mimic for a drug. An instant release of the dye was observed as a response to a reductive environment similar to the one present intracellularly. The proposed strategy shows a facile route to highly stable unimolecular micelles, which attractively exhibit redox-responsive degradation and cargo release properties.

Abstract
The effect of severe confinement on the dynamics of three different generations of hyperbranched polyesters of the Boltorn family is investigated by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS). The polymer chains are intercalated within the galleries of natural montmorillonite (Na+-MMT), thus forming 1 nm polymer films confined between solid walls. The structure of the nanocomposites is studied with X-ray diffraction and the thermal behavior of the polymers in bulk and under confinement is determined by differential scanning calorimetry. The glass transition temperatures of the polymers show a clear dependence on the generation whereas the transition is completely suppressed when all the polymer chains are intercalated. The dynamic investigation of the bulk polymers reveals two sub-Tg processes, with similar behavior for the three polymers with the segmental relaxation observed above the Tg of each polymer. For the nanocomposites, where all the polymer chains are severely confined, the dynamics show significant differences compared to that of the bulk polymers. The sub-Tg processes are similar for the three generations but significantly faster and with weaker temperature dependence than those in the bulk. The segmental process appears at temperatures below the bulk polymer Tg, it exhibits an Arrhenius temperature dependence and shows differences for the three generations. A slow process that appears at higher temperatures is due to interfacial polarization.

Abstract
Histamine functionalized block copolymers based on poly(allyl glycidyl ether)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PAGE-b-PEO) were prepared with different ratios of histamine and octyl or benzyl groups using UV-initiated thiol-ene click chemistry. At neutral pH, the histamine units are uncharged and hydrophobic, while in acidic environments, such as in the endosome, lysosomes, or extracellular sites of tumours, the histamine groups are positively charged and hydrophilic. pH responsible polymer drug delivery systems is a promising route to site specific delivery of drugs and offers the potential to avoid side effects of systemic treatment. Our detailed in vitro experiments of the efficacy of drug delivery and the intracellular localization characteristics of this library of NPs in 2D and 3D cultures of breast cancer revealed that the 50% histamine-modified polymer loaded with DOX exhibited rapid accumulation in the nucleus of free DOX within 2 h. Confocal studies showed enhanced mitochondrial localization and lysosomal escape when compared to controls. From these combined studies, it was shown that by accurately tuning the structure of the initial block copolymers, the resulting self-assembled NPs can be designed to exploit histamine as an endosomal escape trigger and the octyl/benzyl units give rise to a hydrophobic core resulting in highly efficacious drug delivery systems (DDS) with control over intracellular localization. Optimization and rational control of the intracellular localization of both DDS and the parent drug can give nanomedicines a substantial increase in efficacy and should be explored in future studies.

Abstract
Dendritic polymers are highly branched, globular architectures with multiple representations of functional groups. These nanoscale organic frameworks continue to fascinate researchers worldwide and are today under intensive investigation in application-driven research. A large number of potential application areas have been suggested for dendritic polymers, including theranostics, biosensors, optics, adhesives and coatings. The transition from potential to real applications is strongly dictated by their commercial accessibility, scaffolding ability as well as biocompatibility. A dendritic family that fulfills these requirements is based on the 2,2-bismethylolpropionic acid (bis-MPA) monomer. This critical review is the first of its kind to cover most of the research activities generated on aliphatic polyester dendritic architectures based on bis-MPA. It is apparent that these scaffolds will continue to be in the forefront of cutting-edge research as their structural variations are endless including dendrons, dendrimers, hyperbranched polymers, dendritic-linear hybrids and their hybridization with inorganic surfaces.

Abstract
Fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations were employed in order to examine in detail the self-assembly characteristics and the complexation behavior of the anticancer drug doxorubicin with PEGylated hyperbranched polyesters in an aqueous environment. We have examined two variants of the polymeric compound by altering the length of the hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) arms attached to the hydrophobic hyperbranched core. By comparing the clustering properties of the drug molecules in a polymer-free system to those in the polymer-containing models, we were able to assess the effects related to the presence and to the structural features of the polymer moiety. In addition, we have distinguished the effects associated with the neutral and protonated drug molecules separately. It was found that, in the presence of the polymeric material, the drug molecules formed clusters preferentially close to the polymer's periphery, the characteristics of which depended on the structural details of the polymeric host and on the charge of the drug molecules. Hydrogen bonding was found to contribute to the polymer/drug complexation, with the nature of the prevailing donor/acceptor pairs depending on the charge of the drug. Dynamic analysis of the drugs' motion revealed that in the polymer-containing systems the drug molecules experienced a larger degree of confinement within the formed clusters compared to that describing their polymer-free analogues, while the structural coherence of the clusters was found to be more persistent in the system with the larger poly(ethylene glycol) arms. The results described in this work, through the monitoring of both static and dynamic aspects of the self-association and the complexation behavior of the neutral and charged molecules of doxorubicin with the polymeric host, may help toward the elucidation of the key parameters that are involved in the formation of effective polymer-based carriers for drug molecules of the anthracycline family used in cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Dendrimers and their less well-defined cousins, hyperbranched polymers, are widely investigated as scaffold materials in tissue engineering, as drug delivery agents, and in diagnostic imaging applications. Despite the large interest of using these unique materials as polymer-based nanoparticles in biomedical applications, a clear understanding of the cellular uptake and transport of these polyester-based nanoparticles is still lacking. The objective of this study is to evaluate the cellular uptake profiles and intracellular trafficking of polymer micelles built from the hyperbranched polyester Boltorn, fitted with poly(ethylene glycol) and fluorescent groups in MDA-MB468 breast cancer cells. Results show that the uptake of these nanoparticles correlated positively to both time and concentration, and that the uptake of the nanoparticles was energy dependent. These polyesterbased nanoparticles appear to translocate across cells via clathrin- and macropinocytosis-mediated endocytosis. Observations of the intracellular trafficking of the nanoparticles indicate that particles could be released from early endosomes after being internalized, and the particles exhibit perinuclear localization. The uptake behavior of the nanoparticles was further evaluated in a range of cell lines. These results allow the generation of the knowledge base required to design polyester-based nanocarriers that can be used efficiently and specifically for drug delivery applications and imaging applications.

Abstract
Polymeric nanoparticles are promising delivery platforms for various biomedical applications. One of the main challenges toward the development of therapeutic nanoparticles is the premature disassembly and release of the encapsulated drug. Among the different strategies to enhance the kinetic stability of polymeric nanoparticles, shell- and core-crosslinking have been shown to provide robust character, while creating a suitable environment for encapsulation of a wide range of therapeutics, including hydrophilic, hydrophobic, metallic, and small and large biomolecules, with gating of their release as well. The versatility of shell- and core-crosslinked nanoparticles is driven from the ease by which the structures of the shell- and core-forming polymers and crosslinkers can be modified. In addition, postmodification with cell-recognition moieties, grafting of antibiofouling polymers, or chemical degradation of the core to yield nanocages allow the use of these robust nanostructures as "smart" nanocarriers. The building principles of these multifunctional nanoparticles borrow analogy from the synthesis, supramolecular assembly, stabilization, and dynamic activity of the naturally driven biological nanoparticles such as proteins, lipoproteins, and viruses. In this review, the chemistry involved during the buildup from small molecules to polymers to covalently stabilized nanoscopic objects is detailed, with contrast of the strategies of the supramolecular assembly of polymer building blocks followed by intramicellar stabilization into shell-, core-, or core-shell-crosslinked knedel-like nanoparticles versus polymerization of polymers into nanoscopic molecular brushes followed by further intramolecular covalent stabilization events. The rational design of shell-crosslinked knedel-like nanoparticles is then elaborated for therapeutic packaging and delivery, with emphasis on the polymer chemistry aspects to accomplish the synthesis of such nanoparticulate systems.
