van der Vlies AJ, Hasegawa U. Functionalization of Framboidal Phenylboronic Acid-Containing Nanoparticles via Aqueous Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling Reactions. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28083602. [PMID: 37110835 PMCID: PMC10141150 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28083602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Polymeric nanoparticles with reactive functional groups are an attractive platform for drug carriers that can be conjugated with drugs through a cleavable covalent linkage. Since the required functional groups vary depending on the drug molecule, there is a need for development of a novel post-modification method to introduce different functional groups to polymeric nanoparticles. We recently reported phenylboronic acid (PBA)-containing nanoparticles (BNP) with a unique framboidal morphology created via one-step aqueous dispersion polymerization. Since BNPs have high surface area due to their framboidal morphology and contain a high density of PBA groups, these particles can be used as nanocarriers for drugs that can bind to PBA groups such as curcumin and a catechol-bearing carbon monoxide donor. To further explore the potential of BNPs, in this article we report a novel strategy to introduce different functional groups to BNPs via the palladium-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction between the PBA groups and iodo- and bromo-coupling partners. We developed a new catalytic system that efficiently catalyzes Suzuki-Miyaura reactions in water without the need for an organic solvent, as confirmed by NMR. Using this catalyst system, we show that BNPs can be functionalized with carboxylic acids, aldehyde, and hydrazide groups while keeping their original framboidal morphology as confirmed via IR, alizarin red assay, and TEM. Furthermore, the potential of the functionalized BNP in drug delivery applications was demonstrated by conjugating the hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-releasing compound anethole dithiolone to carboxylic acid-functionalized BNPs and show their H2S-releasing capability in cell lysate.

Abstract
Macrophages are the most important innate immune cells that participate in various inflammation-related diseases. Therefore, macrophage-related pathological processes are essential targets in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Since nanoparticles (NPs) can be preferentially taken up by macrophages, NPs have attracted most attention for specific macrophage-targeting. In this review, the interactions between NPs and the immune system are introduced to help understand the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of NPs in immune cells. The current design and strategy of NPs modification for specific macrophage-targeting are investigated and summarized.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are recruited from circulatory monocytes by tumor-derived factors, which differentiate into macrophages residing in the tumor microenvironment. TAMs play critical roles in promoting angiogenesis, invasion, metastasis and immune escape, and the direct depletion of TAMs is a promising strategy for tumor immunotherapy. In this study, we developed lipid-coated calcium zoledronate nanoparticles (CaZol@pMNPs) containing conjugated mannose, which were sterically shielded with an extracellular pH-sensitive material. The NPs specifically targeted TAMs and induced their apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. In a S180 tumor-bearing mouse model, CaZol@pMNPs effectively depleted TAMs, markedly decreased angiogenesis, reduced immune suppression, and eventually restrained tumor growth without eliciting systemic effects. The collective data indicate the potential of the direct depletion of TAMs using CaZol@pMNPs for cancer immunotherapy.

Metal Organic Framework (MOF) Particles as Potential Bacteria-Mimicking Delivery Systems for Infectious Diseases: Characterization and Cellular Internalization in Alveolar Macrophages. Pharm Res 2019; 36:53. [PMID: 30790066 DOI: 10.1007/s11095-019-2589-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2018] [Accepted: 02/10/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Intramacrophagic bacteria pose a great challenge for the treatment of infectious diseases despite many macrophage targeted drug delivery approaches explored. The use of biomimetic approaches for treating infectious diseases is promising, but not studied extensively. The study purpose is to evaluate iron-based metal-organic frameworks (MOF) as a potential bacteria-mimicking delivery system for infectious diseases. METHODS Two types of carboxylated MOFs, MIL-88A(Fe) and MIL-100(Fe) were developed as "pathogen-like" particles by surface coating with mannose. MOF morphology, cellular uptake kinetics, and endocytic mechanisms in 3D4/21 alveolar macrophages were characterized. RESULTS MIL-88A(Fe) is rod-shape (aspect ratio 1:5) with a long-axis size of 3628 ± 573 nm and MIL-100(Fe) is spherical with diameter of 103.9 ± 7.2 nm. Cellular uptake kinetics of MOFs showed that MIL-100(Fe) nanoparticles were internalized at a faster rate and higher extent compared to MIL-88A(Fe) microparticles. Mannosylation did not improve the uptake of MIL-100(Fe) particles, whereas it highly increased MIL-88A(Fe) cellular uptake and number of cells involved in internalization. Cell uptake inhibition studies indicated that macropinocytosis/phagocytosis was the main endocytic pathway for internalization of MOFs. Accumulation of MOF particles in acidic compartments was clearly observed. CONCLUSIONS The successfully synthesized "pathogen-like" particles provide a novel application of MOF-based particles as biomimetic delivery system for intramacrophagic-based infections.

Abstract
Glucose- and temperature-sensitive polymers of a phenylboronic acid derivative and diethylene glycol dimethacrylate (poly(3-acrylamidophenyl boronic acid-b-diethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate); p(AAPBA-b-DEGMA)) were prepared by reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer polymerization. Successful polymerization was evidenced by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy, and the polymers were further explored in terms of their glass transition temperatures and by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The materials were found to be temperature sensitive, with lower critical solution temperatures in the region of 12°C–47°C depending on the monomer ratio used for reaction. The polymers could be self-assembled into nanoparticles (NPs), and the zeta potential and size of these particles were determined as a function of temperature and glucose concentration. Subsequently, the optimum NP formulation was loaded with insulin, and the drug release was studied. We found that insulin was easily encapsulated into the p(AAPBA-b-DEGMA) NPs, with a loading capacity of ~15% and encapsulation efficiency of ~70%. Insulin release could be regulated by changes in temperature and glucose concentration. Furthermore, the NPs were non-toxic both in vitro and in vivo. Finally, the efficacy of the formulations at managing blood glucose levels in a murine hyperglycemic diabetes model was studied. The insulin-loaded NPs could reduce blood glucose levels over an extended period of 48 h. Since they are both temperature and glucose sensitive and offer a sustained-release profile, these systems may comprise potent new formulations for insulin delivery.

Abstract
A new block polymer named poly 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid-b-6-O-vinylazeloyl-d-galactose (p(AAPBA-b-OVZG)) was prepared using 3-acrylamidophenylboronic acid (AAPBA) and 6-O-vinylazeloyl-d-galactose (OVZG) via a two-step procedure involving S-1-dodecyl-S-(α', α'-dimethyl-α″-acetic acid) trithiocarbonate (DDATC) as chain transfer agent, 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator and dimethyl formamide (DMF) as solvent. The structures of the polymer were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and 1H NMR and the thermal stability was determined by thermal gravimetric analysis (TG/DTG). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were utilized to evaluate the morphology and properties of the p(AAPBA-b-OVZG) nanoparticles. The cell toxicity, animal toxicity and therapeutic efficacy were also investigated. The results indicate the p(AAPBA-b-OVZG) was successfully synthesized and had excellent thermal stability. Moreover, the p(AAPBA-b-OVZG) nanoparticles were submicron in size and glucose-sensitive in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). In addition, insulin as a model drug had a high encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity and the release of insulin was increased at higher glucose levels. Furthermore, the nanoparticles showed a low-toxicity in cell and animal studies and they were effective at decreasing blood glucose levels of mice over 96h. These p(AAPBA-b-OVZG) nanoparticles show promise for applications in diabetes treatment using insulin or other hypoglycemic proteins.
