Supramolecular Additive-Initiated Controlled Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization of Zwitterionic Polymers on Ureido-pyrimidinone-Based Biomaterial Surfaces.

ABSTRACT: Surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization is a popular technique for the modification of biomaterials with, for example, antifouling polymers. Here, we report on the functionalization of a supramolecular biomaterial with zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) via atom transfer radical polymerization from a macroinitiator additive, which is embedded in the hard phase of the ureido-pyrimidinone-based material. Poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) was successfully polymerized from these surfaces, and the polymerized sulfobetaine content, with corresponding antifouling properties, depended on both the macroinitiator additive concentration and polymerization time. Furthermore, the polymerization from the macroinitiator additive was successfully translated to functional electrospun scaffolds, showing the potential for this functionalization strategy in supramolecular material systems.

Project description:Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) can kill bacteria by disrupting their cytoplasmic membrane, which reduces the tendency of antibacterial resistance compared to conventional antibiotics. Their possible toxicity to human cells, however, limits their applicability. The combination of magnetically controlled drug delivery and supramolecular engineering can help to reduce the dosage of AMPs, control the delivery, and improve their cytocompatibility. Lasioglossin III (LL) is a natural AMP form bee venom that is highly antimicrobial. Here, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONs) with a supramolecular ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) coating were investigated as a drug carrier for LL for a controlled delivery to a specific target. Binding to IONs can improve the antimicrobial activity of the peptide. Different transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques showed that the particles have a crystalline iron oxide core with a UPy shell and UPy fibers. Cytocompatibility and internalization experiments were carried out with two different cell types, phagocytic and nonphagocytic cells. The drug carrier system showed good cytocompatibility (>70%) with human kidney cells (HK-2) and concentration-dependent toxicity to macrophagic cells (THP-1). The particles were internalized by both cell types, giving them the potential for effective delivery of AMPs into mammalian cells. By self-assembly, the UPy-coated nanoparticles can bind UPy-functionalized LL (UPy-LL) highly efficiently (99%), leading to a drug loading of 0.68 g g-1. The binding of UPy-LL on the supramolecular nanoparticle system increased its antimicrobial activity against E. coli (MIC 3.53 µM to 1.77 µM) and improved its cytocompatible dosage for HK-2 cells from 5.40 µM to 10.6 µM. The system showed higher cytotoxicity (5.4 µM) to the macrophages. The high drug loading, efficient binding, enhanced antimicrobial behavior, and reduced cytotoxicity makes ION@UPy-NH2 an interesting drug carrier for AMPs. The combination with superparamagnetic IONs allows potential magnetically controlled drug delivery and reduced drug amount of the system to address intracellular infections or improve cancer treatment.
