Calix[4]arene Polyamine Triazoles: Synthesis, Aggregation and DNA Binding. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232314889. [PMID: 36499212 PMCID: PMC9738031 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232314889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 11/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Artificial gene delivery systems are in great demand from both scientific and practical biomedical points of view. In this paper, we present the synthesis of a new click chemistry calix[4]arene precursor with free lower rim and new water-soluble calixarene triazoles with 12 amino-groups on the upper rim (one with free phenol hydroxyl groups and two another containing four butyl or tetradecyl fragments). Aggregation in the series of amino-triazole calixarenes of different lipophilicity (calixarene with free phenol hydroxyl groups or butyl and tetradecyl fragments on the lower rim) was studied using dynamic light scattering and fluorescent pyrene probe. It was found that calix[4]arene with a free lower rim, like alkyl-substituted butyl calix[4]arene, forms stable submicron aggregates 150-200 nm in size, while the more lipophilic tetradecyl -substituted calix[4]arene forms micellar aggregates19 nm in size. Using UV-Vis spectroscopy, fluorimetry and CD, it was shown that amino-triazole calix[4]arenes bind to calf thymus DNA by classical intercalation. According to DLS and TEM data, all studied macrocycles cause significant DNA compaction, forming stable nanoparticles 50-20 nm in size. Among all studied calix[4]arenes the most lipophilic tetradecyl one proved to be the best for both binding and compaction of DNA.

Abstract
Magnetic surfactants are a special class of surfactants with magneto-responsive properties. These surfactants possess lower critical micelle concentrations and are more effective in reducing surface tension as compared to conventional surfactants. Such surfactants' ability to manipulate self-assembly in a controlled way by tuning the magnetic field makes them an attractive choice for several applications, including drug delivery, catalysis, separation, oilfield, and water treatment. In this work, we reviewed the properties of magnetic surfactants and possible explanations of magnetic behavior. This article also covers the synthesis methods that can be used to synthesize different types of cationic, anionic, nonionic, and zwitterionic magnetic surfactants. The applications of magnetic surfactants in different fields such as biotechnology, water treatment, catalysis, and oilfield have been discussed in detail.

Highly Accurate and Fast Electrochemical Detection of Scrub Typhus DNA via a Nanoflower NiFe-Based Biosensor. BIOSENSORS 2021; 11:bios11070207.

Abstract
Owing to the lack of specific diagnostic methods, Scrub typhus can sometimes be difficult to diagnose in the Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, an efficient and rapid detection method urgently needs to be developed. Based on competitive single-stranded DNA over modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE), an electrochemical biosensor was established to detect the disease. The nano-flower NiFe layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) modified GCE has a large specific surface area, which supported a large amount of gold nanoparticles, so that a wide linear detection range from 25 fM to 0.5 μM was obtained. The beacon DNA (B-DNA) with the same sequence as the Scrub typhus DNA (T-DNA), but labeled with methylene blue, was used to construct a competitive relationship. When T-DNA and B-DNA were present on the sensor simultaneously, they would hybridize with probe DNA in a strong competition, and the corresponding electrochemical response signal would be generated via testing. It contributed to reducing tedious experimental procedures and excessive response time, and achieved fast electrochemical detection of DNA. The strategy provides a worthy avenue and possesses promising applications in disease diagnosis.

Abstract
The understanding of DNA-surfactant interactions is important for fundamental physical biology and developing biomedical applications. In the present study, we demonstrated a DNA-surfactant nano-machine model by modulating the compaction of DNA in dodecyldimethylamine oxide (DDAO) solutions. By controlling DDAO concentration and pH of solution, we are able to adjust the compacting force of DNA so as to pull biomolecular subunits connected to it. The pulling force of the machine depends on DDAO concentration and pH of solution, ranging from near zero to about 4.6 pN for 10 mM DDAO concentration at pH = 4. The response time of the machine is about 3 minutes for contracting and 2 minutes for releasing in 5 mM DDAO solution. We found that DDAO has no significant influence on DNA under basic conditions, but compacts DNA under acidic conditions, which is enhanced with decreasing pH of solution. Meanwhile, we found the accompanying charge inversion of DNA in the process of DNA compaction by DDAO.

Abstract
Operations with nucleic acids are among the main means of studying the mechanisms of gene function and developing novel methods of molecular medicine and gene therapy. These endeavours usually imply the necessity of nucleic acid storage and delivery into eukaryotic cells. In spite of diversity of the existing dedicated techniques, all of them have their limitations. Thus, a recent notion of using ionic liquids in manipulations of nucleic acids has been attracting significant attention lately. Due to their unique physicochemical properties, in particular, their micro-structuring impact and tunability, ionic liquids are currently applied as solvents and stabilizing media in chemical synthesis, electrochemistry, biotechnology, and other areas. Here, we review the current knowledge on interactions between nucleic acids and ionic liquids and discuss potential advantages of applying the latter in delivery of the former into eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
We report DNA thermotropic liquid crystal (TLC) formation by positively charged catanionic surfactant bilayer vesicles. The properties of DNA TLCs were found to be manipulated by both the chemical structures of cationic and anionic surfactants and the DNA amount. Positively charged catanionic bilayer vesicles bond to negative DNA sites resulting in the transition from vesicles to long range ordered lamellar crystals of DNA-catanionic surfactants, as confirmed by cryo- and freeze-fracture (FF) TEM observations and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements.

Abstract
DNA molecular compaction/decompaction is of great significance for the exploration of basic life processes, the research of biomedical and genetic engineering, and so forth. However, the detailed mechanism of DNA compaction/decompaction caused by surfactants remains an open and challenging problem that has not been fully solved so far. In this paper, a sort of novel solid substrate, nanoPAA-ZnCl2-AuLs, with good stability and high sensitivity, was prepared by a self-assembly method. Based on this substrate, the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology was employed to investigate characteristics of interactions between DNA molecules and surfactants at a single molecular level. SERS spectra of calf thymus DNA (ctDNA), cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) with a concentration as low as 10-9 M, and SERS spectra of ctDNA-CTAB and ctDNA-CTAB-SDS composites were collected, respectively. The interactions between ctDNA and surfactants were analyzed by changes in SERS spectra, for example, disappearances and appearances of SERS bands and relative changes of peak intensity, in which CTAB resulted in the compaction of the DNA molecule while SDS induced the decompaction of the ctDNA-CTAB complex. Moreover, UV-visible spectrophotometry was employed to demonstrate the compaction/decompaction of ctDNA molecules caused by surfactants. The local binding modes of ctDNA molecules and surfactant molecules were expounded. This work will be helpful for understanding biological processes such as DNA compaction and recombination within nucleus or/and cells and for the development of gene therapy technologies.

Abstract
A homologous series of Gemini surfactants, dimethylene-1,2-bis(alkyldimethyl-ammonium bromide) (referred to as n-2-n·2Br, n = 14, 16, and 18) and Fe- or lanthanide metal-based magnetic Gemini surfactants (abbreviated as n-2-n·2X, X = Fe, Ce, and Gd), were first synthesized. Measurements of surface tension and electrical conductivity determine the physical quantities related to the surface activities of n-2-n·2Br and n-2-n·2X, and the magnetic behaviors of n-2-n·2X are elucidated by superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry have been used to investigate thermotropic liquid crystalline properties of all aforementioned surfactants, and the liquid crystal textures were further observed via polarizing optical microscopy. These results reveal that for magneto-responsive Gemini surfactants, both magnetic counterions and alkyl chain lengths have certain effect on surface activities, magnetism, and thermotropic phase behavior. We summed up these changes and discussed the causes, which could provide a new insight into controlling the properties of magnetic surfactants.

Abstract
Self-assembly exploits a facile non-covalent way to couple structurally different building blocks for creating soft materials with synergetic novel properties and functions. Taking advantage of magneto-properties from magnetic surfactants as well as versatile functional ligand formed by carbon quantum dots with cysteine (cys-CQDs), the magnetic network materials were firstly constructed by using magnetic surfactants and cys-CQDs as self-assembly building blocks. Counterions of Br-, [GdCl3Br]-, [HoCl3Br]- in surfactants could control the morphology of magnetic network structures, and the concentration of magnetic surfactants manoeuvres a versatile scenario of self-assembly behavior. Self-assembly of cys-CQDs and CTAHo brought out a 10-fold increase in magnetic moment of CTAHo. The fluorescent property of carbon quantum dots firstly served as an effective indicator element to dissect the collective effect in self-assembly process. For the sake of capturing the target sequence-specific DNA molecules, in situ growth of Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) upon the magnetic network structures was realized by synergetically electrostatic and coordinated interaction of carboxyl groups and Ag ions. The magnetic Ag self-assemblies anchored thiol-containing DNA, serving as a magnetic separation booster for the target sequence-specific DNA molecules under an applied magnetic field, which will bring light on designing magneto-functional self-assembly materials according to practical application requirements.

Abstract
To endow valuable responsiveness to self-assemblies of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs), the magnetic Au nanoparticles (Au NPs)/C16H33(CH3)3N+[CeCl3Br]- (CTACe) mixtures were first prepared by using an emulsion self-assembly of a magnetic surfactant, C16H33(CH3)3N+[CeCl3Br]-. A versatile morphology of self-assemblies of Au NPs could be controlled by the counterions in surfactants including [CeCl3Br]-, [FeCl3Br]-, and Br- as well as solvent. In particular, the magnetic counterion, [CeCl3Br]-, can induce self-growth of Au NPs in an emulsion self-assembly process due to the oxidability of [CeCl3Br]-. It enhances the rigidity of Au NPs/CTACe scaffolds template compared with Au NPs/hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide. [CeCl3Br]- engaged Au NPs/CTACe with fascinating capability of conglutination and targeted migration of DNA (150 μmol/L) under a magnet field. The conglutination capability of the DNA molecules can increase to 39.8% by adopting the magnetic strategy when using Au NPs/CTACe as a magnetic booster. Au NPs/CTACe mixtures can ideally self-assemble to be scaffolds, providing abundant conjugation sites of surface charges. Magnetic Au NPs/CTACe can serve as a template scaffold to secondary self-assemble with DNA (40 mmol/L) outside, producing smooth-faced and hollow DNA nanocapsules. We believe that the creative Au NPs/CTACe/DNA nanocapsules will extend the biological application field of Au NPs assemblies.

Abstract
The mechanism and detailed processes of DNA compaction and decompaction are essential for the life activities, as well as for the researches in the molecular biology, genetics and biomedicine. The compaction of two kinds of DNA molecules caused by Cetyltrimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB) and their decompaction induced with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or excessive amount of CTAB have been investigated with multiple perspectives such as the UV-VIS spectrophotometry, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential. The compaction phenomenon of DNA can easily be observed when the CTAB combines with the DNA, not just when the molar ratio QCTAB/QDNA is approximately equal to 1 as the conventional recognition, but also when QCTAB/QDNA <1,DNA can be compacted; Molecular state of DNA is only changed in the conformational structure, but not in the chemical structure. Finally, a model is suggested to help catch on the biophysical mechanism of DNA chain conformational change.

Abstract
It is difficult to synthesize magnetic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with ultrafine sizes (<2 nm) based on a conventional method via coating AuNPs using magnetic particles, compounds, or ions. Here, magnetic cationic surfactants C16H33N+(CH3)3[CeCl3Br]- (CTACe) and C16H33N+(CH3)3[GdCl3Br]- (CTAGd) are prepared by a one-step coordination reaction, i.e., C16H33N+(CH3)3Br- (CTABr) + CeCl3 or GdCl3 → CTACe or CTAGd. A simple strategy for fabricate ultrafine (<2 nm) magnetic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) via surface modification with weak oxidizing paramagnetic cationic surfactants, CTACe or CTAGd, is developed. The resulting AuNPs can highly concentrate the charges of cationic surfactants on their surfaces, thereby presenting strong electrostatic interaction with negatively charged biomacromolecules, DNA, and proteins. As a consequence, they can converge DNA and proteins over 90% at a lower dosage than magnetic surfactants or existing magnetic AuNPs. The surface modification with these cationic surfactants endows AuNPs with strong magnetism, which allows them to magnetize and migrate the attached biomacromolecules with a much higher efficiency. The native conformation of DNA and proteins can be protected during the migration. Besides, the captured DNA and proteins could be released after adding sufficient inorganic salts such as at cNaBr = 50 mmol·L-1. Our results could offer new guidance for a diverse range of systems including gene delivery, DNA transfection, and protein delivery and separation.

Abstract
We created the dual-responsive nanovehicle that can effectively combine and abundantly utilize magnetic and glutathione (GSH)-reductive triggers to control the drug delivery and achieve more intelligent and powerful targeting. In the nanovehicles, paramagnetic fullerene (C60@CTAF) was prepared via one-step modification of fullerene with magnetic surfactant CTAF by hydrophobic interaction for the first time. The perfect conjugation of C60 and CTAF increased the solubility or dispersity of fullerenes and qualified CTAF with more powerful assembly capability with DNA. DNA molecule in the nanovehicles acted as an electrostatic scaffold to load anticancer drug Dox as well as the important building block for assembly with C60@CTAF into C60@CTAF/DNA. The further combination of deshielding and targeting functions in reduction-responsive disulfide modified HA-SS-COOH coating on C60@CTAF/DNA complexes could reduce the agglomeration and regulate the morphology of C60@CTAF/DNA complexes from irregular microstructures to more uniform ones. More importantly, the introduction of HA-SS-COOH provided a response to a simulating reductive extra-tumoral environment by efficient cleavage of disulfide linkages by GSH and site-specific drug delivery to HepG2 cells. Amazingly, the final nanovehicles presented an increased magnetic susceptibility compared with paramagnetic CTAF, and they "walked" under an applied magnetic field. Because of their facile fabrication, rapid responsiveness to extra tumoral environment, and external automatic controllability by external magnet, the drug delivery nanovehicles constructed by magnetic fullerene-DNA/hyaluronic acid might be of great interest for making new functional nucleic-acid-based drug carriers.

Abstract
The thermo-reversible capture and release of DNA were studied by the protonation and deprotonation of alkyldimethylamine oxide (CnDMAO, n = 10, 12 and 14) in Tris-HCl buffer solution. DNA/C14DMAO in Tris-HCl buffer solution with pH = 7.2 is transparent at 25 °C, indicating that DNA molecules exist mainly in individuals and the binding of C14DMAO is weak. With the increase of temperature, the pH of the buffer solution continuously decreases, which leads to protonation of C14DMAO (C14DMAO + H(+)→ C14DMAOH(+)) and an obvious increase of the turbidity of the samples. This indicates a stronger binding of the protonated C14DMAOH(+) to DNA. Further investigations demonstrated the formation of DNA/C14DMAOH(+) complexes, in which the stretched DNA molecules are effectively compacted as evidenced from UV-vis absorptions, circular dichroism (CD) measurements, atomic force microscopy (AFM) observations, dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements and agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE). Interestingly, when the temperature is turned back to 25 °C, the compacted DNA molecules can fully recover to the stretched conformation. This cycle can be repeated several times without obvious loss of efficiency. The effect of the chain length of CnDMAO has also been investigated. When C14DMAO was replaced by C12DMAO, similar phenomena can be observed with a slightly higher critical surfactant concentration for DNA compaction and a slightly lower pH of Tris-HCl buffer solution with pH = 6.8. For the DNA/C10DMAO system, however, no DNA compaction was observed even in Tris-HCl buffer solution with a much lower pH and a much higher C10DMAO concentration. The negative charges of DNA molecules can easily be neutralized by positive charges of cationic CnDMAOH(+) (n = 12 and 14) micelles. DNA was compacted and then insoluble DNA/CnDMAOH(+) complexes were formed. Because of the much higher critical micelle concentration (cmc) of the shorter chain length C10DMAOH(+), cationic C10DMAOH(+) micelles cannot form under the studied condition to compact DNA. The strategy may provide an efficient and alternative approach for stimuli-responsive gene therapy and drug release.

Abstract
Phenylboronic acid (PBA) is a tumor-targeting molecule, but its nonspecific interaction with normal cells or other components containing cis-diol residues undoubtedly limits its potential application in tumor-targeting drug delivery. Herein, we developed fructose-coated mixed micelles via PBA-terminated polyethylene glycol monostearate (PBA-PEG-C18) and Pluronic P123 (PEG20-PPG70-PEG20) to solve this problem, as the stability of borate formed by PBA and fructose was dramatically dependent on pH. The fluorescence spectroscopic results indicated that the borate formed by PBA and fructose decomposed at a decreased pH, and better binding between PBA and sialic acid (SA) was observed at a low pH. These results implied that the fructose groups decorated on the surface of the micelles could be out-competed by SA at a low pH. In vitro uptake and cytotoxicity studies demonstrated that the fructose coating on the mixed micelles improved the endocytosis and enhanced the cytotoxicity of drug-loaded mixed micelles in HepG2 cells but reduced the cytotoxicity in normal cells. These results demonstrate that a simple decorating strategy may facilitate PBA-targeted nanoparticles for tumor-specific drug delivery.

Abstract
New magnetic surfactants, (cationic hexadecyltrimethlyammonium bromotrichlorogadolinate (CTAG), decyltrimethylammonium bromotrichlorogadolinate (DTAG), and a magnetic polymer (poly(3-acrylamidopropyl)trimethylammonium tetrachlorogadolinate (APTAG)) have been synthesized by the simple mixing of the corresponding surfactants and polymer with gadolinium metal ions. A magnetic anionic surfactant, gadolinium tri(1,4-bis(2-ethylhexoxy)-1,4-dioxobutane-2-sulfonate) (Gd(AOT)3), was synthesized via metathesis. Both routes enable facile preparation of magnetically responsive magnetic polymers and surfactants without the need to rely on nanocomposites or organic frameworks with polyradicals. Electrical conductivity, surface tensiometry, SQUID magnetometry, and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) demonstrate surface activity and self-aggregation behavior of the magnetic surfactants similar to their magnetically inert parent analogues but with added magnetic properties. The binding of the magnetic surfactants to proteins enables efficient separations under low-strength (0.33 T) magnetic fields in a new, nanoparticle-free approach to magnetophoretic protein separations and extractions. Importantly, the toxicity of the magnetic surfactants and polymers is, in some cases, lower than that of their halide analogues.

Abstract
Gemini surfactants with hexadecyl tails and hydroxyethylated head groups bridged with tetramethylene (G4), hexamethylene (G6) and dodecamethylene (G12) spacers were shown to self-assemble at the lower critical micelle concentration compared to their conventional m-s-m analogs. The lipoplex formation and the plasmid DNA transfer into different kinds of host cells were studied. In the case of eukaryotic cells, high transfection efficacy has been demonstrated for DNA-gemini complexes, which increased as follows: G6<G4<G12. Different activity series, i.e., G6>G4>G12 has been obtained in the case of transformation of bacterial cells with plasmid DNA-gemini complexes, mediated by electroporation technique. Solely G6 shows transformation efficacy exceeding the control result (uncomplexed DNA), while the inhibitory effect occurs for G4 and G12. Analysis of physico-chemical features of single surfactants and lipoplexes shows that compaction and condensation effects change as follows: G6<G4 ≤ G12, i.e., agree with the order of transfection efficacy, which is supported by membrane tropic properties of G12. On the other hand, gel retardation assay and docking study testify low electrostatic affinity in G12/DNA pair, thereby indicating that hydrophobic effect probably plays important role in the lipoplex formation. Two factors are assumed to be responsible for the inhibition effect of gemini in the case of transformation of bacterial cells. They are (i) an unfavorable influence of cationic surfactants on the electroporation procedure due to depressing the electrophoretic effect; and (ii) antibacterial activity of cationic surfactants that may cause the disruption of integrity of cell membranes.
