Self-adjuvant Astragalus polysaccharide-based nanovaccines for enhanced tumor immunotherapy: a novel delivery system candidate for tumor vaccines. SCIENCE CHINA. LIFE SCIENCES 2024; 67:680-697. [PMID: 38206438 DOI: 10.1007/s11427-023-2465-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
The study of tumor nanovaccines (NVs) has gained interest because they specifically recognize and eliminate tumor cells. However, the poor recognition and internalization by dendritic cells (DCs) and insufficient immunogenicity restricted the vaccine efficacy. Herein, we extracted two molecular-weight Astragalus polysaccharides (APS, 12.19 kD; APSHMw, 135.67 kD) from Radix Astragali and made them self-assemble with OVA257-264 directly forming OVA/APS integrated nanocomplexes through the microfluidic method. The nanocomplexes were wrapped with a sheddable calcium phosphate layer to improve stability. APS in the formed nanocomplexes served as drug carriers and immune adjuvants for potent tumor immunotherapy. The optimal APS-NVs were approximately 160 nm with uniform size distribution and could remain stable in physiological saline solution. The FITC-OVA in APS-NVs could be effectively taken up by DCs, and APS-NVs could stimulate the maturation of DCs, improving the antigen cross-presentation efficiency in vitro. The possible mechanism was that APS can induce DC activation via multiple receptors such as dectin-1 and Toll-like receptors 2 and 4. Enhanced accumulation of APS-NVs both in draining and distal lymph nodes were observed following s.c. injection. Smaller APS-NVs could easily access the lymph nodes. Furthermore, APS-NVs could markedly promote antigen delivery efficiency to DCs and activate cytotoxic T cells. In addition, APS-NVs achieve a better antitumor effect in established B16-OVA melanoma tumors compared with the OVA+Alum treatment group. The antitumor mechanism correlated with the increase in cytotoxic T cells in the tumor region. Subsequently, the poor tumor inhibitory effect of APS-NVs on the nude mouse model of melanoma also confirmed the participation of antitumor adaptive immune response induced by NVs. Therefore, this study developed a promising APS-based tumor NV that is an efficient tumor immunotherapy without systemic side effects.

Abstract
In this work, we present a metal-free coupling protocol for the regio- and stereoselective C3-thioarylation of 6-amino-2,3,6-trideoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (iminoKdo). The developed procedure enables the coupling of electron-rich, electron-deficient, and hindered arylthiols, providing a series of C3-modified iminoKdo derivatives in moderate to good yields. Elucidation of active species through controlled experimental studies and time-lapse 31 P NMR analysis provides insights into the reaction mechanism. We demonstrate that, following a tandem Staudinger/aza-Wittig reaction of an azido-containing keto ester, an inseparable equimolar mixture of imine/enamine is formed. The enamine then undergoes a Stork-like nucleophilic attack with the in situ-formed disulfide reagent, resulting in the formation of the coupling products. Additionally, we describe a rarely reported acid-promoted aromatization of the C3-thioarylated iminoKdo skeleton into 3,6-disubstituted picolinates, which are reminiscent of dichotomines.

Abstract
An approach for the construction of the tricyclic framework of naturally occurring cyclocalopin A is described. The establishment of the crucial intermediate α-methylene bis-γ,δ-lactone involves a [2 + 2 + 1]-cyclocarbonylation of newly introduced allenyl glyoxylate via direct methods using Mo(CO)6 or sequential reaction pathways. The sequential reaction route involved a stannylative cyclization by Pd(0) catalyst, bromination of an vinyl stannane moiety, and final cyclocarbonylation by palladium catalysis to provide the bis-γ,δ-lactone. The feasibility of forming the spiro-system by an exo-selective [4 + 2]-cycloaddition was accomplished.

Abstract
A visible-light-promoted aerobic hydroxyazidation of indole derivatives with TMSN3 is described. The reaction proceeded under photocatalyst-free conditions to furnish trans-2-azidoindolin-3-ols with high regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. The protocol is operationally simple, and the starting materials (e.g., 1-(pyrimidin-2-yl) indoles, azidotrimethylsilane, and air) are readily available. The proposed mechanism in which substrates act as photocatalysts upon excitation using blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) was supported by experimental studies.
