[PMID: 36678895 PMCID: PMC9863651 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15010265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Revised: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Peptide monomers can either self-assemble with themselves enacting a solo-component assembly or they can co-assemble by interacting with other suitable partners to mediate peptide co-assembly. Peptide co-assemblies represent an innovative class of naive, multifunctional, bio-inspired supramolecular constructs that result in the production of nanostructures with widespread functional, structural, and chemical multiplicity. Herein, the co-assembly of novel chimeric peptides (conjugates of T7 (HAIYPRH)/t-Lyp-1 (CGNKRTR) peptides and aurein 1.2 (GLFDIIKKIAESF)) has been explored as a means to produce glioma theranostics exhibiting combinatorial chemo-phototherapy. Briefly, we have reported here the design and solid phase synthesis of a naive generation of twin-functional peptide drugs incorporating the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and glioma dual-targeting functionalities along with anti-glioma activity (G-Anti G and B-Anti G). Additionally, we have addressed their multicomponent co-assembly and explored their potential application as glioma drug delivery vehicles. Our naive peptide drug-based nanoparticles (NPs) successfully demonstrated a heightened glioma-specific delivery and anti-glioma activity. Multicomponent indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded peptide co-assembled NPs (PINPs: with a hydrodynamic size of 348 nm and a zeta-potential of 5 mV) showed enhanced anti-glioma responses in several cellular assays involving C6 cells. These included a mass demolition with no wound closure (i.e., a 100% cell destruction) and around 63% collaborative chemo-phototoxicity (with both a photothermal and photodynamic effect) after near infrared (NIR) 808 laser irradiation. The dual targeting ability of peptide bioconjugates towards both the BBB and glioma cells, presents new opportunities for designing tailored and better peptide-based nanostructures or nanophototheranostics for glioma.

Abstract
Carrier-free pure drug self-assembled nanosystems have been proposed as a promising strategy for synergetic anticancer therapy. Herein, we purposefully designed and synthesized disulfide-modified glutathione (GSH)-responsive natural pentacyclic triterpene betulinic acid (BA) with better biodegradability and biocompatibility to construct carrier-free photosensitive prodrugs BA-S-S/Ce6 NPs for synergistically enhanced and biosafe photochemotherapy. The molecular dynamics simulation elucidates the possible coassembly mechanism that the coplanar arrangement of BA-S-S dimeric may be primarily responsible for the formation of a long lamella-like or spherical morphology. The density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the reduced energy gap (ΔEST) of Ce6 facilitates the improved singlet oxygen generation of BA-S-S/Ce6 nanoparticles (NPs). The assembled prodrugs exhibited remarkable GSH-responsive property and multiple favorable therapeutic features, leading to enhanced synergistic antitumor efficacy without noticeable toxicity. Additionally, evaluation of the antitumor efficacy of another tetracyclic triterpene stigmasterol (ST)-mediated ST-S-S/Ce6 NPs further confirmed the effectiveness of this rational design. This work provides a promising insight for exploring the pure drug self-assembly behavior and construction of GSH-responsive carrier-free triterpenoid prodrugs toward improved multiple combination antitumor therapies.

Abstract
Self-assembling natural small molecules (NSMs) with favorable anticancer activity are of increasing interest as novel drug delivery platforms without structural modification for biomedical applications. However, a lack of knowledge and practicability of NSMs as drug carriers limited their current biomedical application. Here, via a green and facile supramolecular coassembly strategy, we report and develop a series of carrier-free terpenoid natural small molecule-mediated coassembled photosensitive drugs for enhanced and synergistic chemo/photodynamic therapy. After screening 17 terpenoid NSMs, we identified 11 compounds that could form coassembled NSMs-Ce6 NPs with regulatable drug sizes. Analysis of the representative betulonic acid (BC)-mediated nano-coassemblies (BC-Ce6 NPs) reveals the high efficiency of the coassembly strategy and highlights the tremendous potential of NSMs as novel drug delivery platforms. Through molecular dynamics simulation and theoretical calculations, we elucidate the mystery of the coassembly process, indicating that the linear coplanar arrangement of BC dimeric units is primarily responsible for the formation of rod-like or spherical morphology. Meanwhile, we demonstrated that the reduced energy gap between the singlet and triplet excited states (ΔEST) facilitates efficient reactive oxygen species generation by promoting ·OH generation via a type I photoreaction mechanism. The assembled nanodrugs exhibit multiple favorable therapeutic features, ensuring a remarkably enhanced, synergistic, and secure combinatorial anticancer efficacy of 93.6% with highly efficient tumor ablation. This work not only expands the possibility of natural biodegradable materials for wide biological applications but also provides a new perspective for the construction of NSM-mediated nano-coassemblies for precision therapy.

Abstract
Therapeutic efficiency of amphiphilic methotrexate-camptothecin (MTX-CPT) prodrug compared to free drug mixture (MTX/CPT) has been investigated using all-atom molecular dynamics simulation and first principles density functional theory calculations. This comparison revealed that MTX-CPT prodrug tends to form spherical self-assembled nanoparticle (NP), while free MTX/CPT mixture forms rod-shape NP. These observations are attributed to a structural defect in the MTX-CPT prodrug and solvation free energies of MTX, CPT and MTX-CPT molecules. The results provided evidence that noncovalent interactions (NCIs) among the pharmaceutical drugs play a very important role in anticancer agents aggregation process, leading to enhanced stability of the self-assembled NPs. It is found that the stability of MTX-CPT self-assembled NP is greater than the MTX/CPT NP due to the synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding between monomers and solvent (water). Moreover, the noncatalyzed as well as catalyzed hydrolysis reactions of MTX-CPT prodrug are theoretically studied at the PCM(water)//M06-2X/6-31G(d,p) computational level to shed additional light on the role of acidic condition in tumor tissues. We found that the ester hydrolysis in mild acidic solutions is a concerted reaction. In an agreement between theory and experiment, we also confirmed that the activation energies of the catalyzed-hydrolysis steps are much lower than the activation energies of the corresponding steps in the noncatalyzed reaction. Thus, the MTX-CPT prodrug reveals very promising properties as a pH-controlled drug delivery system.

Abstract
Four Ala-Ala dipeptides with a perfluoroalkyl chain at the N-terminal were synthesized. They were able to self-assemble into helical nanofibers and/or twisted nanobelts in a mixture of DMSO/H2 O. The handedness of nanofibers and nanobelts was controlled by the chirality of the alanine at the N-terminal. The stacking handedness of the phenylene groups and the helicity of the perfluoroalkyl chain were studied using circular dichroism spectroscopy and vibrational circular dichroism, respectively. The chirality of the alanine at N-terminal controlled the stacking handedness of the neighboring phenylene groups. Moreover, due to the low potential barrier between M- and P-helices of the perfluorocarbon chain, the handedness of the organic self-assemblies eventually controlled the helicity of the perfluorocarbon chain. X-ray diffraction indicated that a lamellar structure was formed by the dimers of the dipeptides.

Abstract
In mixtures of water and dimethyl sulfoxide, 4'-(n-dodecyloxy)-1,1'-biphenyl-4-carbonyl Ala-Ala dipeptides can self-assemble into tubular structures that are formed by coiled nanoribbons. The twist and stacking handedness of biphenylene groups were studied using circular dichroism and confirmed by theoretical chemical calculations. The handedness of the coiled nanoribbons and the stacking handedness of biphenylene groups are controlled by the chirality of alanine at the C-terminus, whereas the twist handedness of biphenylene groups is determined by the chirality of alanine at the N-terminus. 1H NMR spectra indicated that the hydrogen bond formed by the N-H group of alanine at the N-terminus plays an important role in the formation of organic self-assemblies. On the basis of small-angle X-ray scattering characterization, a dimer structure was proposed to form through the terminal COOH groups.

The handedness of the twisted nanoribbons is controlled by the chirality of the phenylalanine near the alkyl chain, while the stacking handedness of the phenyl and carbonyl groups is determined by the alanine at the C-terminal. The homochiral and heterochiral lipodipeptides self-assemble into parallel and antiparallel β-sheet structures, respectively. The 1H NMR, FTIR, X-ray diffraction, and circular dichroism characterizations indicate that these phenomena are mainly driven by the interaction between neighboring phenyl groups and H-bonding among the amide groups.

Abstract
Eight dipeptides, composed of phenylalanine and phenylglycine, that are able to self-assemble into twisted nanoribbons in deionized water are synthesized. The handedness of the nanoribbons is controlled by the chirality of the phenylalanine and the steric hindrance owing to the phenyl group of the phenylglycine. When the phenylalanine is at the C-terminal, π-π stacking by the phenyl groups, hydrogen bonding by the NH group of the phenylalanine, and hydrophobic associations of the alkyl chains control the stacking of the molecules. When phenylglycine is at the C-terminal, the chiral π-π stacking by the phenyl groups of the phenylalanines is suppressed. The hydrogen bonds formed by the NH groups of the phenylalanines had a greater contribution on forming organic self-assemblies than those formed by the NH groups of the phenylglycines.
