Carbohydrate mediated drug delivery: Synthesis and characterization of new lipid-conjugates
摘要:
A new synthetic methodology for cationic glycolipids using p-aminophenyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside (PAPM) and p-aminophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside (PAPG) with spacer in between the quaternary nitrogen atom and the sugar unit is developed. In addition, a new class of neutral glycolipid conjugates, such as PAPM-lipids or PAPG-lipids conjugates was also synthesized for targeting drugs to receptors. The precipitation-inhibition assay showed that conjugate of PAPM inhibited the concanavalin A and invertase aggregation. This binding inhibition study of a synthesized compound suggests that conjugates of PAPM can be potentially used to target mannose receptors. In addition, a higher transfection was obtained by mixing PAPM with pSV-beta-gal reporter gene and incubating with mannose binding protein/receptor expressing A549 cells. The coexistence of both mannose group and a net positive charge may result in improved transfection efficiency in cells expressing mannose binding proteins/receptors. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

derivatives of α-/β-glucose and α-/β-galactose-carrying helical poly(phenyl isocyanide)s were used as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for HPLC to estimate their chiral recognition abilities. CD spectroscopy suggested that the helix sense in these rigid helical polymers may be regulated by the chirality of the α- or β-anomeric center of the sugar moieties.

The present invention concerns a method for selectively establishing a dynamic combinatorial library of ligands binding to a target which binds at least two functionalities, which method comprises the following steps:
selecting a plurality of functionalities which upon combination with each other are capable of forming an antity which may bind to the at least two functionalities in the target;
linking at least two identical or different functionalities by at least one spacer group allowing reversible bond formation, thus creating discrete ligands;
mixing together a plurality of a different discrete ligands having different combinations of functionalities;
subjecting the mixture to conditions allowing a reversible bond formation and cleavage, hence a scrambling of the formalities;
analyzing the mixture obtained;
adding the target to the mixture;
again analyzing the mixture, comparing the results obtained and identifying the functionality combinations which are most appropriate for the formation of a bond.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the target is added when the discrete ligands are mixed together, in order to be present when the scrambling takes place.
A solvent in which dichloromethane is mixed with alcohol as a poor solvent is used for preparing a dope. Alcohol is supplied to the dope in a inline pipe to mix with a static mixer, such as a casting dope in which a composition of alcohol is increased. The temperature of the rotary drum is adjusted to −7° C. The casting dope is fed from a casting die to the rotary drum so as to form a casting film whose thickness is 40 μm. Since the content of alcohol is high and a storage modulus of the cooled casting film is at least 150 thousands Pa, the peeling defect does not occur, and the stretch is reduced as far as possible. A gel-like film is dried by a tenter type drying device, and stretched such that the stretch ratio is at most 110%. The produced film is thin and excellent in a surface condition and optical isotropy.

The present invention concerns a method for selectively establishing a dynamic combinatorial library of ligands for a target which binds at least two functionalities, which method comprises the following steps: selecting a plurality of functionalities which upon combination with each other are capable of forming an entity which may bind to the at least two functionalities in the target; selecting at least one spacer group to be located between the at least two functionalities, which spacer group is of an appropriate size and/or flexibility to allow the functionalities to fit into the binding sites on the target and allowing a reversible bond formation and cleavage; creating discrete ligands by linking at least two identical or different functionalities by at least one spacer group or; linking the functionalities to fragments of the spacer group which contain functions allowing the said reversible bond formation under formation of the spacer group and cleavage of it; mixing together a plurality of different discrete ligands and/or different functionalities; subjecting the mixture to conditions allowing a reversible bond formation and cleavage; adding the target to the mixture; identifying the functionality combinations which are most appropriate for the formation of a complex between the target and the active molecule. In a further embodiment of the invention, the target is added when the discrete ligands are mixed together, in order to be present when the scrambling takes place.
