Heterotelechelic polymer prodrug nanoparticles: Adaptability to different drug combinations and influence of the dual functionalization on the cytotoxicity
摘要:
Well-defined, heterotelechelic polymer prodrugs for combination therapy were synthesized by using a combination of the "drug-initiated" nitroxide-mediated polymerization from a gemcitabine-alkoxyamine initiator and the nitroxide exchange reaction using TEMPO-bearing drugs to end-cap the drug-polymer chain-end by a second drug. This methodology was successfully applied to two different clinically relevant combinations, gemcitabine/doxorubicin (Gem/Dox) and gemcitabine/lapatinib (Gem/Lap), showing a certain degree of universality of the synthetic methodology. It also represented the first nanocarrier for the co-delivery of Gem and Lap ever reported. Well-controlled, low molar mass heterotelechelic polymers (M-n = 2100-4090 g.mol(-1), D = 1.18-1.38) with similar to 1:1 drug ratios and high overall drug loadings up to 40 wt% were obtained. They were formulated into nanoparticles by nanoprecipitation and exhibited average diameters in the 34-154 nm range, with narrow particle size distributions (PSD= 0.01-0.22) and excellent colloidal stability over time. Their biological evaluation in terms of drug release and cytotoxicity was performed and compared to that of different monofunctional polymer prodrug formulations. We showed that heterobifunctional polymer prodrugs induced cytotoxicity to MCF-7 cells, with IC50 values in the 120-300 nM range depending on the combination tested. Interestingly, whereas Gem/Dox combination did not lead to noticeable improvement over monofunctional therapies, co-nanoprecipitation of Gem/Lap prodrugs led to synergistic effect.

The highly efficient and mild oxidation of alcohols using new soluble polymer-supported TEMPO derivatives in combination with Oxone is disclosed. Two types of the PEG-supported TEMPO derivative were easily synthesized by a simple esterification or Click Chemistry. The oxidation of primary alcohols with the precatalysts, TBAB, and Oxone in CH 2 Cl 2 or BTF proceeded to afford the corresponding oxidized

TEMPO derivatives bearing hydroxyl, azide and carboxylic acid functionalities, and polymers such as poly(ethylene glycol) (TEMPO‐PEG) and poly(ε‐caprolactone) (TEMPO‐PCL). Due to the simultaneous radical generation and reversible termination of the polymer radical, TEMPO moiety on polystyrene is replaced to form the corresponding end‐functional polymers and block copolymers. The intermediates and final

Synthetic ditempolphosphatidylcholine liposome-like nanoparticles for anti-oxidative therapy of atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis (AS), a chronic inflammatory disease, is the leading cause of death worldwide. Anti-oxidative therapy has been developed for AS therapy in light of the critical role of ROS in pathogenesis of AS, but current anti-oxidants have exhibited limited outcomes in the clinic. Herein, new ROS-eliminating liposome-like NPs (Tempol-Lips) were assembled from synthetic lipids that covalently conjugated
动脉粥样硬化 (AS) 是一种慢性炎症性疾病,是全世界死亡的主要原因。鉴于 ROS 在 AS 发病机制中的关键作用,已经开发了用于 AS 治疗的抗氧化疗法,但目前的抗氧化剂在临床上表现出有限的结果。在此,新的 ROS 消除脂质体样 NPs (Tempol-Lips) 由合成脂质组装而成,合成脂质通过酯化反应将两个 Tempol 分子与磷脂酰胆碱共价结合。获得的 Tempol-Lips 可以有效地内化到炎症巨噬细胞中,并通过清除细胞内过量产生的 ROS 来减轻炎症。静脉注射后,具有纳米级特征的 Tempol-Lips 积聚在 ApoE 的斑块中-/-与用对照药物治疗的小鼠相比,小鼠通过被动靶向显着抑制了 AS 的发病机制。Tempol-Lips 的治疗益处主要归因于减少局部和系统性氧化应激和炎症。体内初步研究进一步证明,长期静脉注射后 Tempol-Lips 是安全且具有生物相容性的。总而言之,Tempol-Lips
