Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2024; 200:114338. [PMID: 38789063 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2024.114338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 05/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024]
Abstract
Ionizable lipids are a class of pharmaceutical excipients with a main application in lipid nanoparticles for nucleic acid delivery. New ionizable lipids are needed to tune characteristics of lipid-based nucleic acid delivery systems, e.g. stability, nucleic acid loading capacity and binding strength, as well as bio-distribution. Herein, we present the synthesis of three novel ionizable lipids as putative excipients for lipid-based nucleic acid delivery systems. Langmuir monolayer experiments with classical surface pressure/area isotherm evaluation were used to understand the self-assembly behavior of the lipids. Additional experiments with surface sensitive techniques, namely grazing incidence x-ray scattering and infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS), were performed to understand structural characteristics of lipid associates. The latter technique was also used to investigate the nucleic acid binding process between DNA and the ionizable lipids. Finally, first transfection experiments with the novel lipids formulated as cationic liposomes were performed providing first efficacy data. Although the alkyl chain pattern was comparable for all three ionizable lipids, the results demonstrated that with increasing head-group size the DNA binding capacity changed and the alkyl chain fluidity was increased. The lipid with the lowest phase transition temperature and the smallest packing parameter showed the highest DNA transfer efficiency.

MEMBRANES 2022; 12:membranes12100937.

Abstract
Cell membrane models are useful for obtaining molecular-level information on the interaction of biologically active molecules whose activity is believed to depend also on their effects on the membrane. Cytarabine was conjugated with fatty acids to improve the drug lipophilicity and the interaction with the biomembrane model. Cytarabine was conjugated with fatty acids of different lengths to form the trimyristoyl cytarabine and the tristearoyl cytarabine derivatives. Their interaction with biomembrane models constituted by dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) monolayers was studied by employing the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. DMPC/cytarabine, DMPC/trimyristoyl cytarabine and DMPC/tristearoyl cytarabine mixed monolayers at increasing molar fractions of the compound were prepared and placed on the subphase. The mean molecular area/surface pressure isotherms were recorded at 37 °C. Between the molecules of DMPC and those of cytarabine or prodrugs, repulsive forces act. However, these forces are very weak between DMPC and cytarabine and stronger between DMPC and the cytarabine derivatives, thus avoiding the expulsion of the compounds at higher surface pressure and modifying the stability of the mixed monolayer. The fatty acid moieties could then modulate the affinity of cytarabine for biomembranes.

Abstract
Lipophilic nucleic acids have become a versatile tool for structuring and functionalization of lipid bilayers and biological membranes as well as cargo vehicles to transport and deliver bioactive compounds, like interference RNA, into cells by taking advantage of reversible hybridization with complementary strands. This contribution reviews the different types of conjugates of lipophilic nucleic acids, and their physicochemical and self-assembly properties. Strategies for choosing a nucleic acid, lipophilic modification, and linker are discussed. Interaction with lipid membranes and its stability, dynamic structure and assembly of lipophilic nucleic acids upon embedding into biological membranes are specific points of the review. A large diversity of conjugates including lipophilic peptide nucleic acid and siRNA provides tailored solutions for specific applications in bio- and nanotechnology as well as in cell biology and medicine, as illustrated through some selected examples.

Abstract
The self-assembly of amphiphilic hybrid materials containing an oligonucleotide sequence at the air/water interface was investigated by means of pressure-molecular area (Π-A) isotherms. In addition, films were transferred onto solid substrates and imaged using scanning force microscopy. We used oligonucleotide molecules with lipid tails, which consisted of a single stranded oligonucleotide 11 mer containing two hydrophobically modified 5-(dodec-1-ynyl)uracil nucleobases (dU11) at the 5'-end of the oligonucleotide sequence. The air/water interface was used as confinement for the self-assembling process of dU11. Scanning force microscopy of films transferred via Langmuir-Blodgett technique revealed mono-, bi- (Π ≥ 2 mN/m) and multilayer formation (Π ≥ 30 mN/m). The first layer was 1.6 ± 0.1 nm thick. It was oriented with the hydrophilic oligonucleotide moiety facing the hydrophilic substrate while the hydrophobic alkyl chains faced air. In the second layer the oligonucleotide moiety was found to face the air. The second layer was found to cover up to 95% of the sample area. Our measurements indicated that the rearrangement of the molecules into bi- and multiple bilayers happened already at the air/water interface. Similar results were obtained with a second type of oligonucleotide amphiphile, an oligonucleotide block copolymer, which was composed of an oligonucleotide 11 mer covalently attached at the terminus to polypropyleneoxide (PPO).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The potential use of nucleic acids as therapeutic drugs has triggered the quest for oligonucleotide conjugates with enhanced cellular permeability. To this end, the biophysical aspects of previously reported potential lipid oligodeoxyribonucleotide conjugates were studied including its membrane-binding properties and cellular uptake. METHODS These conjugates were fully characterized by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and HPLC chromatography. Their ability to insert into lipid model membrane systems was evaluated by Langmuir balance and confocal microscopy followed by the study of the internalization of a lipid oligodeoxyribonucleotide conjugate bearing a double-tail lipid modification (C28) into different cell lines by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. This compound was also compared with other lipid containing conjugates and with the classical lipoplex formulation using Transfectin as transfection reagent. RESULTS This double-tail lipid modification showed better incorporation into both lipid model membranes and cell systems. Indeed, this lipid conjugation was capable of inserting the oligodeoxyribonucleotide into both liquid-disordered and liquid-ordered domains of model lipid bilayer systems and produced an enhancement of oligodeoxyribonucleotide uptake in cells, even better than the effect caused by lipoplexes. In addition, in β2 integrin (CR3) expressing cells this receptor was directly involved in the enhanced internalization of this compound. CONCLUSIONS All these features confirm that the dual lipid modification (C28) is an excellent modification for enhancing nucleic acid delivery without altering their binding properties. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Compared to the commercial lipoplex approach, oligodeoxyribonucleotide conjugation with C28 dual lipid modification seems to be promising to improve oligonucleotide delivery in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Recent advances in microelectronics and biosensors are enabling developments of innovative biochips for advanced healthcare by providing fully integrated platforms for continuous monitoring of a large set of human disease biomarkers. Continuous monitoring of several human metabolites can be addressed by using fully integrated and minimally invasive devices located in the sub-cutis, typically in the peritoneal region. This extends the techniques of continuous monitoring of glucose currently being pursued with diabetic patients. However, several issues have to be considered in order to succeed in developing fully integrated and minimally invasive implantable devices. These innovative devices require a high-degree of integration, minimal invasive surgery, long-term biocompatibility, security and privacy in data transmission, high reliability, high reproducibility, high specificity, low detection limit and high sensitivity. Recent advances in the field have already proposed possible solutions for several of these issues. The aim of the present paper is to present a broad spectrum of recent results and to propose future directions of development in order to obtain fully implantable systems for the continuous monitoring of the human metabolism in advanced healthcare applications.

Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the affinity of palladium nanoparticles, stabilized with glucose oxidase, for fatty acid monolayers at the air-water interface, exploiting the interaction between a planar system and spheroids coming from the aqueous subphase. A decrease of the monolayer collapse pressure in the second cycle of interface compression proved that the presence of the nanoparticles causes destabilization of the monolayer in a mechanism driven by the interpenetration of the enzyme into the bilayer/multilayer structure formed during collapse, which is not immediately reversible after monolayer expansion. Surface pressure and surface potential-area isotherms, as well as infrared spectroscopy [polarization modulation infrared reflection adsorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS)] and deposition onto solid plates as Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films, were employed to construct a model in which the nanoparticle has a high affinity for the hydrophobic core of the structure formed after collapse, which provides a slow desorption rate from the interface after monolayer decompression. This may have important consequences on the interaction between the metallic particles and fatty acid monolayers, which implies the regulation of the multifunctional properties of the hybrid material.
