Polymeric Nanotubes as Drug Delivery Vectors─Comparison of Covalently and Supramolecularly Assembled Constructs.

ABSTRACT: Rod-shaped nanoparticles have been identified as promising drug delivery candidates. In this report, the in vitro cell uptake and in vivo pharmacokinetic/bio-distribution behavior of molecular bottle-brush (BB) and cyclic peptide self-assembled nanotubes were studied in the size range of 36-41 nm in length. It was found that BB possessed the longest plasma circulation time (t_1\2 > 35 h), with the cyclic peptide system displaying an intermediate half-life (14.6 h), although still substantially elevated over a non-assembling linear control (2.7 h). The covalently bound BB underwent substantial distribution into the liver, whereas the cyclic peptide nanotube was able to mostly circumvent organ accumulation, highlighting the advantage of the inherent degradability of the cyclic peptide systems through their reversible aggregation of hydrogen bonding core units.

Project description:The useful concepts of reticular chemistry, rigid and predictable metal nodes together with strong and manageable covalent interactions between metal centers and organic linkers, have made the so-called metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) a flourishing area of enormous applicability. In this work, the extension of similar strategies to supramolecularly assembled metal-organic materials has allowed us to obtain a family of isoreticular compounds of the general formula [Cu7(μ-adeninato-κN3:κN9)6(μ3-OH)6(μ-OH2)6](OOC-R-COO)·nH2O (R: ethylene-, acetylene-, naphthalene-, or biphenyl-group) in which the rigid copper-adeninato entities and the organic dicarboxylate anions are held together not by covalent interactions but by a robust and flexible network of synergic hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions based on well-known supramolecular synthons (SMOFs). All compounds are isoreticular, highly insoluble, and water-stable and show a porous crystalline structure with a pcu topology containing a two-dimensional (2D) network of channels, whose dimensions and degree of porosity of the supramolecular network are tailored by the length of the dicarboxylate anion. The partial loss of the crystallization water molecules upon removal from the mother liquor produces a shrinkage of the unit cell and porosity, which leads to a color change of the compounds (from blue to olive green) if complete dehydration is achieved by means of gentle heating or vacuuming. However, the supramolecular network of noncovalent interactions is robust and flexible enough to reverse to the expanded unit cell and color after exposure to a humid atmosphere. This humidity-driven breathing behavior has been used to design a sensor in which the electrical resistance varies reversibly with the degree of humidity, very similar to the water vapor adsorption isotherm of the SMOF. The in-solution adsorption properties were explored for the uptake and release of the widely employed 5-fluorouracil, 4-aminosalycilic acid, 5-aminosalycilic acid, and allopurinol drugs. In addition, cytotoxicity activity assays were completed for the pristine and 5-fluorouracil-loaded samples.
