A biocompatible poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer octa-substituted with α-cyclodextrin towards the controlled release of doxorubicin hydrochloride from its ferrocenyl prodrug.

ABSTRACT: Facile and efficient methods for the synthesis of the first poly(aminodamine) PAMAM G1.0 dendrimer octa-substituted with α-cyclodextrin and a novel ferrocenyl prodrug of doxorubicin hydrochloride are developed. This vector is non-toxic and can bind the designed ferrocenyl prodrug. It also shows a controlled drug release profile and high cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells (MCF-7), as elucidated by the in vitro biological studies performed with an innovative cell-on-a-chip microfluidic system.

Synthesis of β-Cyclodextrin-Decorated Dendritic Compounds Based on EDTA Core: A New Class of PAMAM Dendrimer Analogs.

Project description:In this work, two dendritic molecules containing an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) core decorated with two and four β-cyclodextrin (βCD) units were synthesized and fully characterized. Copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) click chemistry under microwave irradiation was used to obtain the target compounds with yields up to 99%. The classical ethylenediamine (EDA) core present in PAMAM dendrimers was replaced by an EDTA core, obtaining platforms that increase the water solubility at least 80 times compared with native βCD. The synthetic methodology presented here represents a convenient alternative for the rapid and efficient construction of PAMAM analogs. These molecules are envisaged for future applications as drug carriers.

Conjugate of PAMAM Dendrimer, Doxorubicin and Monoclonal Antibody-Trastuzumab: The New Approach of a Well-Known Strategy.

Project description:The strategy utilizing trastuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against human epidermal growth receptor 2 (HER-2), as a therapeutic agent in HER-2 positive breast cancer therapy seems to have advantage over traditional chemotherapy, especially when given in combination with anticancer drugs. However, the effectiveness of single antibody or antibody conjugated with chemotherapeutics is still far from ideal. Antibody⁻dendrimer conjugates hold the potential to improve the targeting and release of active substance at the tumor site. In the present study, we developed and synthesized PAMAM dendrimer⁻trastuzumab conjugates carrying doxorubicin (dox) specifically to cells overexpressing HER-2. ¹HNMR, FTIR and RP-HPLC were used to characterize the products and analyze their purity. Toxicity of PAMAM⁻trastuzumab and PAMAM⁻dox⁻trastuzumab conjugates compared with free trastuzumab and doxorubicin towards HER-2 positive (SKBR-3) and negative (MCF-7) human breast cancer cell lines was determined using MTT assay. Furthermore, the cellular uptake and cellular localization were studied by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy, respectively. A cytotoxicity profile of above mentioned compounds indicated that conjugate PAMAM⁻dox⁻trastuzumab was more effective when compared to free drug or the conjugate PAMAM⁻trastuzumab. Moreover, these results reveal that trastuzumab can be used as a targeting agent in PAMAM⁻dox⁻trastuzumab conjugate. Therefore PAMAM⁻dox⁻trastuzumab conjugate might be an interesting proposition which could lead to improvements in the effectiveness of drug delivery systems for tumors that overexpress HER-2.

Efficient modification of PAMAM G1 dendrimer surface with β-cyclodextrin units by CuAAC: impact on the water solubility and cytotoxicity.

Project description:The toxicity of the poly(amidoamine) dendrimers (PAMAM) caused by the peripheral amino groups has been a limitation for their use as drug carriers in clinical applications. In this work, we completely modified the periphery of PAMAM dendrimer generation 1 (PAMAM G1) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) units through the Cu(i)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) to obtain the PAMAM G1-β-CD dendrimer with high yield. The PAMAM G1-β-CD was characterized by 1H- and 13C-NMR and mass spectrometry studies. Moreover, the PAMAM G1-β-CD dendrimer showed remarkably higher water solubility than native β-CD. Finally, we studied the toxicity of PAMAM G1-β-CD dendrimer in four different cell lines, human breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231), human cervical adenocarcinoma cancer cells (HeLa) and pig kidney epithelial cells (LLC-PK1). The PAMAM G1-β-CD dendrimer did not present any cytotoxicity in cell lines tested which shows the potentiality of this new class of dendrimers.

Stoichiometry and Structure of Poly(amidoamine) Dendrimer-Lipid Complexes.

Project description:The energetics, stoichiometry, and structure of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer-phospholipid interactions were measured with isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Dendrimers of sixth-generation and smaller interacted with the lipids at an average stoichiometry and enthalpy proportional to the number of primary amines per dendrimers (4.5 ± 0.1 lipids/primary amine and 6.3 ± 0.3 kJ/mol of primary amines, respectively). Larger dendrimers, however, demonstrated a decreased number of bound lipids and heat release per primary amine, presumably due to the steric restriction of dendrimer deformation on the lipid bilayer. For example, eighth-generation PAMAM dendrimers bound to 44% fewer lipids per primary amine and released 63% less heat per primary amine as compared to the smaller dendrimers. These differences in binding stoichiometry support generation-dependent models for dendrimer-lipid complexation, which are consistent with previously observed generation-dependent differences in dendrimer-induced membrane disruption. Dendrimers of seventh-generation and larger bound to lipids with an average stoichiometry consistent with each dendrimer having been wrapped by a bilayer of lipids, whereas smaller dendrimers did not.

Potentiation of ribonuclease cytotoxicity by a poly(amidoamine) dendrimer.

Project description:Variants of bovine pancreatic ribonuclease (RNase A) engineered to evade the endogenous ribonuclease inhibitor protein (RI) are toxic to human cancer cells. Increasing the basicity of these variants facilitates their entry into the cytosol and thus increases their cytotoxicity. The installation of additional positive charge also has the deleterious consequence of decreasing ribonucleolytic activity or conformational stability. Here, we report that the same benefit can be availed by co-treating cells with a cationic dendrimer. We find that adding the generation 2 poly(amidoamine) dendrimer in trans increases the cytotoxicity of RI-evasive RNase A variants without decreasing their activity or stability. The increased cytotoxicity is not due to increased RI-evasion or cellular internalization, but likely results from improved translocation into the cytosol after endocytosis. These data indicate that co-treatment with highly cationic molecules could enhance the efficacy of ribonucleases as chemotherapeutic agents.

Nitric oxide-releasing amphiphilic poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers as antibacterial agents.

Project description:A series of amphiphilic nitric oxide (NO)-releasing poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers with different exterior functionalities were synthesized by a ring-opening reaction between primary amines on the dendrimer and propylene oxide (PO), 1,2-epoxy-9-decene (ED), or a ratio of the two, followed by reaction with NO at 10 atm to produce N-diazeniumdiolate-modified scaffolds with a total storage of ~1 μmol/mg. The hydrophobicity of the exterior functionality was tuned by varying the ratio of PO and ED grafted onto the dendrimers. The bactericidal efficacy of these NO-releasing vehicles against established Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms was then evaluated as a function of dendrimer exterior hydrophobicity (i.e., ratio of PO/ED), size (i.e., generation), and NO release. Both the size and exterior functionalization of dendrimer proved important to a number of parameters including dendrimer-bacteria association, NO delivery efficiency, bacteria membrane disruption, migration within the biofilm, and toxicity to mammalian cells. Although enhanced bactericidal efficacy was observed for the hydrophobic chains (e.g., ED), toxicity to L929 mouse fibroblast cells was also noted at concentrations necessary to reduce bacterial viability by 5-logs (99.999% killing). The optimal PO to ED ratios for biofilm eradication with minimal toxicity against L929 mouse fibroblast cells were 7:3 and 5:5. The study presented herein demonstrated the importance of both dendrimer size and exterior properties in determining efficacy against established biofilms without compromising biocompatibility to mammalian cells.

Diffusion NMR study of generation-five PAMAM dendrimer materials.

Project description:Commercial generation-five poly(amidoamine) dendrimer material (G5c) was fractionated into its major structural components. Monomeric G5 (G5m; 21--30 kDa) was isolated to compare its functional properties to the G5c material. Diffusion-ordered nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was employed to measure the self-diffusion coefficients and corresponding hydrodynamic radii of G5m and other G5c components as a function of dendrimer size (i.e., molecular weight) and tertiary structure (i.e., generational or oligomeric nature). It was found that the hydrodynamic radius (R(H)) scales with approximate numbers of atoms in the trailing generations, G5m, and oligomeric material at a rate of R(H)∝N(0.35), in good agreement with previous reports of RH scaling for PAMAM dendrimer with generation. G5c materials can be thought of as a heterogeneous mixture of dendrimers ranging in size from trailing generation two to tetramers of G5, approximately the same in size as a G7 dendrimer, with G5m comprising ∼65% of the material. The radius of hydration for G5m was measured to be 3.1 ± 0.1 nm at pH 7.4. The 10% swelling in response to a drop in pH observed for the G5c material was not observed for isolated G5m; however, the isolated G5--G5 dimers had an increase of 44% in R(H), indicating that the G5c pH response results from the increase in R(H) of the oligomeric fraction upon protonation. Finally, the data allow for an experimental test of the "slip" and "stick" boundary models of the Stokes--Einstein equation for PAMAM dendrimer in water.
