Cationic amino-acid functionalized polymethacrylamide vectors for siRNA transfection based on modification of poly(2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline). J Control Release 2023; 364:687-699. [PMID: 37935258 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2023.11.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/09/2023]
Abstract
Poly(2-isopropenyl-2-oxazoline) (PiPOx) is a functional polymer showing great potential for the development of smart biomaterials. The straightforward synthesis and post-polymerization functionalization of PiPOx offers many opportunities for tailoring the properties of the polymer towards biomaterials. In this study we report for the first time PiPOx-based cationic charged polymethacrylamides with amino acid side chains that can complex siRNA and promote transfection in vitro. Therefore, PiPOx was fully modified via ring opening addition reactions with the carboxylic acid groups of a series of N-Boc-L-amino acids and their reaction kinetics were investigated. Based on the determined kinetic constants, another series of PiPOx-based copolymers with balanced hydrophilic/hydrophobic content of N-Boc-L-amino acids were obtained via one-pot modification reaction with two different N-Boc-L-amino acids. The N-Boc protected homopolymers and related copolymers were deprotected to obtain (co)polymers with the targeted side chain cationic charged units. The (co)polymers' structures were fully investigated via FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and TGA-DSC-MS analysis. The polarimetry measurements revealed that the homopolymers retain their chiroptical properties after post-modification, and a sign inversion is noticed from (L) N-Boc-protected analogues to (D) for the TFA cationic charged homopolymers. Generally, cationically charged homopolymers with hydrophilic amino acids on the side chain showed efficient complexation of siRNA, but poor transfection while cationic copolymers having both tryptophan and valine or proline side chains revealed moderate siRNA binding, high transfection efficiency (> 90% of the cells) and potent gene silencing with IC50 values down to 5.5 nM. Particularly, these cationic copolymers showed higher gene silencing potency as compared to the commercial JetPRIME® reference, without reducing cell viability in the concentration range used for transfection, making this a very interesting system for in vitro siRNA transfection.

Abstract
Amyloidosis pathologically proceeds via production of amyloidogenic proteins by organs, formation of protein aggregates through structural changes, and their deposition on tissues. A growing body of evidence demonstrates that amyloidosis generally develops through three critical pathological steps: (1) production of amyloid precursor proteins, (2) amyloid formation, and (3) amyloid deposition. However, no clinically effective therapy that is capable of targeting each pathological step of amyloidosis independently is currently available. Here, we combined therapeutic effects and developed a short hairpin RNA expression vector (shRNA) complex with a cyclodextrin-appended cationic dendrimer (CDE) as a novel multitarget therapeutic drug that is capable of simultaneously suppressing these three steps. We evaluated its therapeutic effects on systemic transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis and Alzheimer's disease (AD) as localized amyloidosis, by targeting TTR and amyloid β, respectively. CDE/shRNA exhibited RNAi effects to suppress amyloid protein production and also achieved both inhibition of amyloid formation and disruption of existing amyloid fibrils. The multitarget therapeutic effects of CDE/shRNA were confirmed by evaluating TTR deposition reduction in early- and late-onset human ATTR amyloidosis model rats and amyloid β deposition reduction in AppNL-G-F/NL-G-F AD model mice. Thus, the CDE/shRNA complex exhibits multifunctional therapeutic efficacy and may reveal novel strategies for establishing curative treatments for both systemic and localized amyloidosis.

Abstract
Schizophyllan (SPG), a member of the β-glucan family, can form novel complexes with homo-polynucleotides such as poly(dA) through hydrogen bonding between two main chain glucoses and the one nucleotide base. Dectin-1, one of the major receptors for β-glucans, is known to be expressed on antigen presenting cells (APCs) such as macrophages and dendritic cells. This suggests that the above-mentioned complexes could deliver bound functional oligonucleotides (ODNs) including antisense (AS)-ODNs, small interfering RNA, and CpG-ODNs to the APCs. Analysis using a quartz crystal microbalance revealed that a complex consisting of SPG and dA60 with a phosphorothioate backbone was recognized by recombinant Dectin-1 protein. Treatment with this complex containing an AS-ODN for tumor necrosis factor alpha protected mice against lipopolysaccharide-induced hepatitis at a very low AS-ODN dose. Moreover, immunization with CpG-ODN/SPG complex and antigenic proteins induced potent antigen specific immune responses. The present review also represents peptide delivery by conjugation with dA60 and the preparation of a nanogel using DNA-DNA hybridization. These findings indicate that the delivery of a specific ODN using β-glucans could be used for treating various diseases caused by APCs and for activating antigen specific immune responses.

Abstract
The main antiviral drug-cyclodextrin interactions, changes in physicochemical and physiological properties of the most commonly used virucides are summarized. The potential complexation of antiviral molecules against the SARS-Cov2 also pointed out the lack of detailed information in designing effective and general medicines against viral infections. The principal problem of the current molecules is the 3D structures of the currently active compounds. Improving the solubility or bioavailability of antiviral molecules is possible, however, there is no universal solution, and the complexation experiments dominantly use the already approved cyclodextrin derivatives. This review discusses the basic properties of the different cyclodextrin derivatives, their potential in antiviral formulations, and the prevention and treatment of viral infections. The biologically active new cyclodextrin derivatives are also discussed.

Abstract
Recently, the number of gene and oligonucleotide drugs are increasing. Of various drug delivery systems (DDSs) for gene and oligonucleotide drugs, few examples of the clinical application of polymer as drug carriers are known, despite development of the novel polymers has been progressing. Cyclodextrin (CD) conjugates with starburst polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer (CDEs), as a new type of polymer-based carriers, were first published in 2001. After that, galactose-, lactose-, mannose-, fucose-, folate-, and polyethyleneglycol (PEG)-appended CDEs have been prepared for passive and active targeting for gene, oligonucleotide, and low-molecular-weight drugs. PEG-appended CDE formed polypsuedorotaxanes with α-CD and γ-CD, which are useful for a sustained release system of gene and oligonucleotide drugs. Interestingly, CDEs were found to have anti-inflammatory effects and anti-amyloid effects themselves, which have potential as active pharmaceutical ingredients. Most recently, CDE is reported to be a useful Cas9-RNA ribonucleoproteins (Cas9 RNP) carrier that induces genome editing in the neuron and brain. In this review, the history and progression of CDEs are overviewed.

Abstract
Developing new delivery dosage forms with robust delivery and safety profiles remains a challenge to the pharmaceutical industry in terms of optimum gut absorption, consistent dosing and bioavailability; particularly for orally administered drugs that are poorly water soluble. Coenzyme Q10 is an example of a poorly water-soluble compound with low bioavailability, and significant inter-individual variation after oral administration; limiting its optimum efficacy, as a powerful antioxidant with significant promise in treating hearing disorders. Microencapsulation technology is one way to optimize drug bioavailability and absorption profile. One example is Ionic Gelation Vibrational Jet Flow techniques, using new encapsulating parameters to determine the nature of formed capsules. Bile acids are an example of an excipient that can be used to improve membrane permeability; and will be examined. This review addresses the applications of microencapsulation technology on oral delivery and efficacy profiles of poorly water-soluble drugs, focusing on Coenzyme Q10.

Abstract
A preassembled Cas9/single-guide RNA complex (Cas9 ribonucleoprotein; Cas9 RNP) induces genome editing efficiently, with small off-target effects compared with the conventional techniques, such as plasmid DNA and mRNA systems. However, penetration of Cas9 RNP through the cell membrane is low. In particular, the incorporation of Cas9 RNP into neurons and the brain is challenging. In the present study, we have reported the use of a dendrimer (generation 3; G3)/glucuronylglucosyl-β-cyclodextrin conjugate (GUG-β-CDE (G3)) as a carrier of Cas9 RNP and evaluated genome editing activity in the neuron and the brain. A Cas9 RNP ternary complex with GUG-β-CDE (G3) was prepared by only mixing the components. The resulting complex exhibited higher genome editing activity than the complex with the dendrimer (G3), Lipofectamine 3000 or Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX in SH-SY5Y cells, a human neuroblastoma cell line. In addition, GUG-β-CDE (G3) enhanced the genome editing activity of Cas9 RNP in the whole mouse brain after a single intraventricular administration. Thus, GUG-β-CDE (G3) is a useful Cas9 RNP carrier that can induce genome editing in the neuron and brain.

Abstract
A series of peptide dendrimers and their conjugates with antimicrobial agent FMDP (N3 -(4-methoxyfumaroyl)-(S)-2,3-diamino-propanoic acid) were synthesized. The obtained compounds were tested for the antibacterial and antifungal activity. All novel dendrimers displayed much better activity against the tested strains than FMDP itself. Moreover, their conjugates with FMDP also exhibited antimicrobial activity. The most promising molecules were tested against a broad selection of fungal strains. The analysis of their antifungal properties indicates that the examined molecules are efficient growth inhibitors of fluconazole-resistant hospital-acquired strains. Moreover, an application of amphiphilic branched peptides such as FMDP carriers suggests that transport mechanism involves more likely the cell membrane perturbation than the mediation of the specific transport proteins. The activity of obtained compounds strongly depends on the specific structure of the molecule.

Abstract
Amyloidogenic transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis is caused by a formation of ATTR amyloid fibrils. Because ATTR misfolding triggers the formation of aggregates and amyloid fibrils, which are considered to deposit on the tissues, novel clinically effective therapeutic strategies targeted to those processes are urgently needed. In this study, to discover a new drug candidate for ATTR amyloidosis therapy, we focused on polyamidoamine dendrimer (dendrimer), a 3D-structural nanomaterial, which has a branched cationic polymer repeating polyamidoamine units. Dendrimer (G2) not only inhibited ATTR V30M amyloid fibril formation, but also reduced already formed ATTR V30M amyloid fibrils by reducing β-sheet structure of ATTR V30M protein. Moreover, intravenous administration of dendrimer (G2) reduced TTR deposition in human ATTR V30M transgenic rats. These results indicate that dendrimer (G2) may possess both inhibitory and breaking effects on ATTR V30M amyloid, suggesting that dendrimer has the potential as a dual effective agents against TTR amyloidosis.

Abstract
For many years, researchers have worked with supramolecular structures involving inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins. These studies have resulted in new commercially available drugs which have been of great benefit. More recently, studies using nanoparticles, including nanosystems containing cyclodextrins, have become a focus of academic research due to the versatility of the systems and their remarkable therapeutic potential. This review focuses on studies published between 2002 and 2018 involving nanosystems containing cyclodextrins. We consider the type of nanosystems, their importance in a health context, the physicochemical techniques used to show the quality of these systems and their potential for the development of novel pharmaceutical formulations. These have been developed in recent studies which have mainly been focusing on basic science with no clinical trials as yet being performed. This is important to note because it means that the studies do not include any toxicity tests. Despite this limitation, the characterization assays performed suggest that these new formulations may have therapeutic potential. However, more research is required to assess the efficacy and safety of these nanosystems.

Abstract
Methyl-β-cyclodextrin (M-β-CyD) exhibits cytotoxic activity, and has the potentials as an antitumor agent. However, a tumor-selectivity of M-β-CyD is low, leading to low antitumor activity and the adverse effects. Meanwhile, hyaluronic acid (HA) is known as a promising tumor targeting ligand, because various cancer cells overexpress CD44, a HA-binding glycoprotein. In the present study, to develop a tumor-selective delivery system for M-β-CyD, we designed a supramolecular complex of M-β-CyD with adamantane-grafted HA (Ad-HA/M-β-CyD) and evaluated it as a tumor-selective antitumor agent. M-β-CyD formed a stable complex with Ad-HA (Kc>104 M-1). In addition, Ad-HA/M-β-CyD formed slightly a negative-charged nanoparticle with ca. 140 nm of a particle size, indicating the favorable physicochemical properties for antitumor agents. Ad-HA/M-β-CyD showed the superior cytotoxic activity via CD44-mediated endosomal pathways in HCT116 cells (CD44(+)), a human colon cancer cell line. In addition, cytotoxic activity of Ad-HA/M-β-CyD was induced by apoptosis. These results suggest that Ad-HA/M-β-CyD has the potentials as a tumor-selective supramolecular antitumor agent.

Chiral separation of terbutaline and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs by using a new lysine-bridged hemispherodextrin in capillary electrophoresis. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2017; 145:734-741. [PMID: 28806570 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2017.07.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2017] [Revised: 07/28/2017] [Accepted: 07/29/2017] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
A method for the separation of a mixture of terbutaline and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs was developed using capillary electrophoresis with a new hemispherodextrin, ad hoc designed, the lysine - bridged hemispherodextrin (THLYSH). The use of lysine residues to bridge the trehalose capping unit moiety to the cyclodextrin cavity gives rise to a receptor with two long chains with amine nitrogen atoms, whose charge can be easily tuned as a function of the solution pH. The new hemispherodextrin was accurately characterised by ESI-MS and NMR spectroscopy, also highlighting its protonation behaviour. Circular dichroism and ESR spectroscopy measurements were also carried out to test its inclusion ability towards anthraquinone-3-sulfonate and its metal coordination ability towards copper(II) ion, respectively. Analogously to the other hemispherodextrins, the main skill of this new derivative lies in its chiral selector properties, as shown by the separation of the enantiomeric pairs of terbutaline and ibuprofen, flurbiprofen, suprofen and tiaprofenic acid by capillary electrophoresis. The focused use of the solution equilibria involved in the separations made it possible to understand the phenomena occurring in solution, and to finely tune the charge status of the receptor. In this way the chiral separation of the racemic mixture was successfully obtained, even if the receptor was individually used, differently by the other hemispherodextrins previously studied whose chiral separation capabilities are present only if used as binary mixtures.
