Demonstrating the In Vitro and In Situ Antimicrobial Activity of Oxide Mineral Microspheres: An Innovative Technology to Be Incorporated into Porous and Nonporous Materials. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15041261. [PMID: 37111747 PMCID: PMC10144421 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15041261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The antimicrobial activity of surfaces treated with zinc and/or magnesium mineral oxide microspheres is a patented technology that has been demonstrated in vitro against bacteria and viruses. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency and sustainability of the technology in vitro, under simulation-of-use conditions, and in situ. The tests were undertaken in vitro according to the ISO 22196:2011, ISO 20473:2013, and NF S90-700:2019 standards with adapted parameters. Simulation-of-use tests evaluated the robustness of the activity under worst-case scenarios. The in situ tests were conducted on high-touch surfaces. The in vitro results show efficient antimicrobial activity against referenced strains with a log reduction of >2. The sustainability of this effect was time-dependent and detected at lower temperatures (20 ± 2.5 °C) and humidity (46%) conditions for variable inoculum concentrations and contact times. The simulation of use proved the microsphere's efficiency under harsh mechanical and chemical tests. The in situ studies showed a higher than 90% reduction in CFU/25 cm2 per treated surface versus the untreated surfaces, reaching a targeted value of <50 CFU/cm2. Mineral oxide microspheres can be incorporated into unlimited surface types, including medical devices, to efficiently and sustainably prevent microbial contamination.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third-largest cause of cancer death worldwide, while immunotherapy is rapidly being developed to fight HCC with great potential. Nucleic acid drugs are the most important modulators in HCC immunotherapy. To boost the efficacy of therapeutics and amplify the efficiency of genetic materials, biocompatible polymers are commonly used. However, under the strong need of a summary for current developments of biocompatible polymeric nucleic acid carriers for immunotherapy of HCC, there is rare review article specific to this topic to our best knowledge. In this article, we will discuss the current progress of immunotherapy for HCC, biocompatible cationic polymers (BCPs) as nucleic acid carriers used (or potential) to fight HCC, the roles of biocompatible polymeric carriers for nucleic acid delivery, and nucleic acid delivery by biocompatible polymers for immunotherapy. At the end, we will conclude the review and discuss future perspectives. This article discusses biocompatible polymeric nucleic acid carriers for immunotherapy of HCC from multidiscipline perspectives and provides a new insight in this domain. We believe this review will be interesting to polymer chemists, pharmacists, clinic doctors, and PhD students in related disciplines.

Abstract
The quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) method is commonly used to predict different physicochemical characteristics of interest of chemical compounds with an objective to accelerate the process of design and development of novel chemical compounds in the biotechnology and healthcare industries. In the present report, we have employed a QSPR approach to predict the different properties of the aminoglycoside-derived polymers (i.e. polymer DNA binding and aminoglycoside-derived polymers mediated transgene expression). The final QSPR models were obtained using the partial least squares (PLS) regression approach using only specific categories of two-dimensional descriptors and subsequently evaluated considering different internationally accepted validation metrics. The proposed models are robust and non-random, demonstrating excellent predictive ability using test set compounds. We have also developed different kinds of consensus models using several validated individual models to improve the prediction quality for external set compounds. The present findings provide new insight for exploring the design of an aminoglycoside-derived polymer library based on different identified physicochemical properties as well as predict their property before their synthesis.

Abstract
Herein we report the synthesis of ternary statistical methacrylate copolymers comprising cationic ammonium (amino-ethyl methacrylate: AEMA), carboxylic acid (propanoic acid methacrylate: PAMA) and hydrophobic (ethyl methacrylate: EMA) side chain monomers, to study the functional role of anionic groups on their antimicrobial and hemolytic activities as well as the conformation of polymer chains. The hydrophobic monomer EMA was maintained at 40 mol% in all the polymers, with different percentages of cationic ammonium (AEMA) and anionic carboxylate (PAMA) side chains, resulting in different total net charge for the polymers. The antimicrobial and hemolytic activities of the copolymer were determined by the net charge of +3 or larger, suggesting that there was no distinct effect of the anionic carboxylate groups on the antimicrobial and hemolytic activities of the copolymers. However, the pH titration and atomic molecular dynamics simulations suggest that anionic groups may play a strong role in controlling the polymer conformation. This was achieved via formation of salt bridges between cationic and anionic groups, transiently crosslinking the polymer chain allowing dynamic switching between compact and extended conformations. These results suggest that inclusion of functional groups in general, other than the canonical hydrophobic and cationic groups in antimicrobial agents, may have broader implications in acquiring functional structures required for adequate antimicrobial activity. In order to explain the implications, we propose a molecular model in which formation of intra-chain, transient salt bridges, due to the presence of both anionic and cationic groups along the polymer, may function as "adhesives" which facilitate compact packing of the polymer chain to enable functional group interaction but without rigidly locking down the overall polymer structure, which may adversely affect their functional roles.

Abstract
![]()
Cationic
lipids (CLs) have gained significant attention among nonviral
gene delivery vectors due to their ease of synthesis and functionalization
with multivalent moieties. In particular, there is an increasing request
for multifunctional CLs having gene delivery capacity and antibacterial
activity. Herein, we describe the design and synthesis of a novel
class of aminoglycoside (AG)-based multifunctional vectors with high
transfection efficiency and noticeable antibacterial properties. Specifically,
cationic amphiphiles were built on a triazine scaffold, allowing for
an easy derivatization with up to three potentially different substituents,
such as neomycin (Neo) that serves as the polar head and one or two
lipophilic tails, namely stearyl (ST) and oleyl (OL) alkyl chains
and cholesteryl (Chol) tail. With the aim to shed more light on the
effect of different types and numbers of lipophilic moieties on the
ability of CLs to condense and transfect cells, the performance of
Neo–triazine-based derivatives as gene delivery vectors was
evaluated and compared. The ability of Neo–triazine-based derivatives
to act as antimicrobial agents was evaluated as well. Neo–triazine-based
CLs invariably exhibited excellent DNA condensation ability, even
at a low charge ratio (CR, +/−). Besides, each derivative showed
very good transfection performance at its optimal CR on two different
cell lines, along with negligible cytotoxicity. CLs bearing symmetric
two-tailed OL proved to be the most effective in transfection. Interestingly,
Neo–triazine-based derivatives, used as either free lipids
or lipoplexes, exhibited strong antibacterial activity against Gram-negative
bacteria, especially in the case of CLs bearing one or two aliphatic
chains. Altogether, these results highlight the potential of Neo–triazine-based
derivatives as effective multifunctional nonviral gene delivery vectors.

Abstract
Aminoglycosides are a class of naturally occurring and semi synthetic antibiotics that have been used for a long time in fighting bacterial infections. Due to acquired antibiotic resistance and inherent toxicity, aminoglycosides have experienced a decrease in interest over time. However, in the last decade, we are seeing a renaissance of aminoglycosides thanks to a better understanding of their chemistry and mode of action, which had led to new trends of application. The purpose of this comprehensive review is to highlight one of these new fields of application: the use of aminoglycosides as building blocks for the development of liposomal and polymeric vectors for gene delivery. The design, synthetic strategies, ability to condensate the genetic material, the efficiency in transfection, and cytotoxicity as well as when available, the antibacterial activity of aminoglycoside-based cationic lipids and polymers are covered and critically analyzed.

Abstract
The global antimicrobial resistance crisis has prompted worldwide efforts to develop new and more efficient antimicrobial compounds, as well as to develop new drug delivery strategies and targeting mechanisms. This study aimed to synthesize a novel polyethylene glycol-fusidic acid (PEG-FA) conjugate for self-assembly into nano-sized structures and explore its potential for simultaneously enhancing aqueous solubility and antibacterial activity of FA. In addition, the ability of PEG-FA to bind to HSA with lower affinity than FA is also investigated. Haemolysis and in vitro cytotoxicity studies confirmed superior biosafety of the novel PEG-FA compared to FA. The water solubility of FA after PEG conjugation was increased by 25-fold compared to the bare drug. PEG-FA nanoparticles displayed particle size, polydispersity index and zeta potential of 149.3 ± 0.21 nm, 0.267 ± 0.01 and 5.97 ± 1.03 mV, respectively. Morphology studies using high-resolution transmission electron microscope revealed a homogenous spherical shape of the PEG-FA nanoparticles. In silico studies showed that Van der Waals forces facilitated PEG-FA self-assembly. HSA binding studies showed that PEG-FA had very weak or no interaction with HSA using in silico molecular docking (-2.93 kcal/mol) and microscale thermophoresis (Kd=14999 ± 1.36 µM), which may prevent bilirubin displacement. Conjugation with PEG did not inhibit the antibacterial activity of FA but rather enhanced it by 2.5-fold against Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, compared to the bare FA. These results show that PEG-FA can simultaneously enhance solubility and antibacterial activity of FA, whilst also reducing binding of HSA to decrease its side effects.

Abstract
Clinically related infection is a critical risk for human health and is usually caused by biofilm formation on medical devices. Herein, typical polyphenols, catechin (Cat), and rare-earth ions (Re3+) were used for self-assembled Cat-Re nanoparticles that can be facilely coated on the surface of a polyamide (PA) membrane to synergistically prevent bacterial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation. The antibacterial adhesion feature of the assembled Cat-Re nanoparticles coated on the PA membrane surface was assessed using Pseudomonas aeruginosa, one of the most common pathogenic bacteria, as probe bacteria under static and dynamic simulation flow conditions. The Cat-Re nanocoating showed excellent antibacterial and anti-adhesion activities against P. aeruginosa and successfully prevented biofilm formation on the material's surface. Regardless of the conditions, the Cat-Re nanocoating significantly suppressed the growth and attachment of P. aeruginosa and maintained >90% inhibition activity with favorable reusability and long-term stability. The results suggest that the self-assembled rare-earth-phenolic nanocoating has promising application potential in the prevention of medical device-related biofilm formation.

Abstract
Highly efficient and safe gene delivery has become an important aspect of neuronal gene therapy. We evaluated the ability of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer grafted with phenylalanine, histidine, and arginine (PAMAM-FHR), a nonviral gene delivery vector, to deliver a therapeutic, tumor cell-specific killer gene, apoptin, into the human primary glioma cell line GBL-14 and human dermal fibroblasts. We performed a transfection assay using plasmids of luciferase and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and assessed cell viability. Both cell lines were treated with complexes of PAMAM-FHR and apoptin after which their intracellular uptake and localization were examined by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)analysis and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Confocal microscopy showed that the PAMAM-FHR escaped from the endo-lysosome into the cytosol. Cell cycle phase distribution analysis, annexin V staining, and a tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE) assay established that apoptin triggered apoptosis in the GBL-14 cell line but not in normal fibroblasts. These results indicated that the PAMAM-FHR/apoptin complex is an effective gene vehicle for cancer therapy in vitro.

Abstract
Nucleic acid (NA)-based therapy is promising for tissue repair, such as skin and bone defect therapy. However, bacterial infections often occur in the process of tissue healing. The ideal treatment of tissue repair requires both anti-infection and simultaneous tissue healing. The epidermal growth factor (EGF) plays an important role in wound healing processes. In this work, degradable antibacterial gene vectors based on tobramycin (clinically relevant antibiotic) conjugated poly(aspartic acid) (TPT) are proposed as multifunctional delivery nanosystems of plasmid encoding EGF (pEGF) to realize the antibacterial therapy and tissue healing of infected skin defects. TPT has low cytotoxicity and good degradability, which is helpful in the NA delivery process. TPT demonstrates good transfection performances and hemocompatibility, as well as excellent antibacterial activities in vitro. The outstanding pEGF delivery ability of TPT and the bioactivity of expressed EGF facilitate the proliferation of fibroblast cells. The effective in vivo infected skin defect therapy is also demonstrated with TPT/pEGF nanocomplexes, where skin tissue healing is promoted. The present work opens new avenues for the design of multifunctional delivery nanosystems with antibacterial ability to treat infected tissue defect.

Abstract
Hyperbranched polyaminoglycosides were prepared by the polymerization of kanamycin, gentamicin, and neomycin, and N,N'-methylenebis(acrylamide) via a one-pot reaction. The secondary amines at the linear units of the hyperbranched polymers were subsequently reacted with NO gas at high pressure under alkaline conditions to form N-diazeniumdiolate NO donors. The resulting NO-releasing hyperbranched polyaminoglycosides exhibited a wide range of NO payloads (~0.4-1.3 µmol mg-1) and release kinetics (half-lives ~70-180 min). The therapeutic utility of these materials was evaluated by examining their bactericidal activity against common dental pathogens and toxicity to human gingival fibroblast cells. The antibacterial efficacy of NO-releasing hyperbranched polyaminoglycosides was dependent on specific physiochemical properties, with greater degrees of branching and aminoglycoside terminal groups correlating to enhanced action. Nitric oxide-releasing hyperbranched polykanamycin and polyneomycin elicited the least cytotoxicity at bactericidal concentrations, indicating the greatest therapeutic index for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
2-Deoxy-β-C-aryl/alkyl glycosides were synthesized from di-O-pivaloyl protected homoallylic alcohol derived from D-mannitol with various aldehydes via the Prins cyclization. The salient features of this methodology are high yields and excellent stereoselectivity. This method has also been successfully applied to the synthesis of differently protected 2-deoxy-β-C-aryl glycosides and C-disaccharides. One of the 2-deoxy-β-C-aryl glycosides was utilized as a glycosyl acceptor in the glycosylation to synthesize an O-linked disaccharides.

Abstract
In this study, we have designed and developed two series of bifunctional conjugates by tethering polyethylenimine with streptomycin. By varying the amount of streptomycin, conjugates, polyethylenimine-streptomycin, have been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. Gel electrophoresis assay revealed a slight decrease in the cationic charge density on the conjugates as these retarded the mobility of pDNA at higher w/w ratios. Further, transfection studies showed that both the series of conjugates transfected the mammalian cells efficiently with low-molecular weight polyethylenimine-streptomycin conjugates were more competent (∼9-fold enhancement with respect to native bPEI) exhibiting high cell viability too. Besides, both the series of conjugates displayed excellent antibacterial activity on pathogenic bacteria, even better than native streptomycin on resistant strains. Altogether, these results ensure the promising potential of the projected bifunctional conjugates as safe and efficient gene delivery vectors as well as antibacterials for future biomedical applications.

The Length of Hydrophobic Chain in Amphiphilic Polypeptides Regulates the Efficiency of Gene Delivery. Polymers (Basel) 2018; 10:polym10040379.

Abstract
The major challenges of non-viral carriers are low transfection efficiency and high toxicity. To overcome this bottleneck, it is very important to investigate the structure-property-function (transfection efficiency) relationships of polycations. Herein, different length hydrophobic poly(l-leucine) chains in amphiphilic polypeptides were precisely synthesized by α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides (NCA) ring-opening polymerization and these biocompatible polypeptides were chosen as a model to further examine the transfection in vitro. These polypeptides were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). Agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) was employed to validate the ability of DNA condensation and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to observe the assemblies of polyplexes. Cytotoxicity was evaluated in COS-7 cell lines and transfection was performed in normal cell COS-7 and cancer cell Hep G2. The results showed that NCA monomers were prepared and the amphiphilic polypeptides, poly(lysine(CBZ))50-block-poly(l-leucine)10, poly(l-lysine(CBZ))50-block-poly(l-leucine)15, and poly(l-lysine(CBZ))50-block-poly(l-leucine)25, were successfully synthesized with controlled molecular weight and narrow distribution. After deprotection of CBZ, these materials can condense plasmid DNA into 100 nm nanoparticles and the cellular uptake of polyplexes was as fast as 30 min. The transfection data shown these materials had a good transfection efficiency comparing to polyethylenimine (Branched, 25 kDa) while they displayed ignored cytotoxicity. More importantly, we discovered the length of hydrophobic poly(l-leucine) in amphiphilic polypeptides steadily regulates gene delivery efficiency in two kinds of cells ranking poly(l-lysine)50-block-poly(l-leucine)25 > poly(l-lysine)50-block-poly(l-leucine)15 > poly(l-lysine)50-block-poly(l-leucine)10.

Abstract
Biomaterials scientists strive to develop polymeric materials with distinct chemical make-up, complex molecular architectures, robust mechanical properties and defined biological functions by drawing inspirations from biological systems. Salient features of biological designs include (1) repetitive presentation of basic motifs; and (2) efficient integration of diverse building blocks. Thus, an appealing approach to biomaterials synthesis is to combine synthetic and natural building blocks in a modular fashion employing novel chemical methods. Over the past decade, orthogonal chemistries have become powerful enabling tools for the modular synthesis of advanced biomaterials. These reactions require building blocks with complementary functionalities, occur under mild conditions in the presence of biological molecules and living cells and proceed with high yield and exceptional selectivity. These chemistries have facilitated the construction of complex polymers and networks in a step-growth fashion, allowing facile modulation of materials properties by simple variations of the building blocks. In this review, we first summarize features of several types of orthogonal chemistries. We then discuss recent progress in the synthesis of step growth linear polymers, dendrimers and networks that find application in drug delivery, 3D cell culture and tissue engineering. Overall, orthogonal reactions and modulular synthesis have not only minimized the steps needed for the desired chemical transformations but also maximized the diversity and functionality of the final products. The modular nature of the design, combined with the potential synergistic effect of the hybrid system, will likely result in novel hydrogel matrices with robust structures and defined functions.

Abstract
Many currently used antibiotics suffer from issues such as systemic toxicity, short half-life, and increased susceptibility to bacterial resistance. Although most antibiotic classes are administered systemically through oral or intravenous routes, a more efficient delivery system is needed. This review discusses the chemical conjugation of antibiotics to polymers, achieved by forming covalent bonds between antibiotics and a pre-existing polymer or by developing novel antibiotic-containing polymers. Through conjugating antibiotics to polymers, unique polymer properties can be taken advantage of. These polymeric antibiotics display controlled, sustained drug release and vary in antibiotic class type, synthetic method, polymer composition, bond lability, and antibacterial activity. The polymer synthesis, characterization, drug release, and antibacterial activities, if applicable, will be presented to offer a detailed overview of each system.
