Herein, a novel series of multivalent polycationic β-cyclodextrin "click clusters" with discrete molecular weight have been synthesized, characterized, and examined as therapeutic pDNA carriers. The materials were creatively designed based on a β-cyclodextrin core to impart a biocompatible multivalent architecture and oligoethyleneamine arms to facilitate pDNA binding, encapsulation, and cellular uptake. An acetylated-per-azido- β-cyclodextrin (4) was reacted with series of alkyne dendrons (7a-e) (containing one to five ethyleneamine units) using copper-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, to form a series of click clusters (9a-e) bearing 1,2,3-triazole linkers. Gel electrophoresis experiments, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the macromolecules bind and compact pDNA into spherical nanoparticles in the size range of 80-130 nm. The polycations protect pDNA against nuclease degradation, where structures 9c, 9d, and 9e did not allow pDNA degradation in the presence of serum for up to 48 h. The cellular uptake profiles were evaluated in Opti-MEM and demonstrate that all the click clusters efficiently deliver Cy5-labeled pDNA into HeLa and H9c2 (2-1) cells, and compounds 9d and 9e yielded efficacy similar to that of the positive controls, Jet-PEI and Superfect. Furthermore, the luciferase gene delivery experiments revealed that the level of reporter gene expression increased with an increase in oligoethyleneamine number within the cluster arms. The cytotoxicity profiles of these materials were evaluated by protein, MTT, and LDH assays, which demonstrate that all the click clusters remain nontoxic within the expected dosage range while the positive controls, Jet PEI and Superfect, were highly cytotoxic. In particular, 9d and 9e were the most effective and promising polycationic vehicles to be further optimized for future systemic delivery experiments.

The ever-growing risk of bacterial resistance is a critical concern. Among the various antimicrobial resistant bacterial strains, methicillin and vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus are among the most dreadful, causing serious complications. On the basis of the hypothesis that microbes have reduced ability to develop resistance against membrane targeting antibiotics, bile acid oligomers having unique facially amphiphilic topologies were designed and synthesized. The oligomers with specific linkers exhibited potent and selective antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The lead compounds also improved the efficacy of a range of known antibiotics belonging to different classes when tested in combination. The active dimers were found to be effective against antibiotic-resistant clinical isolates of S. aureus, including multidrug resistant isolates. A significant inhibitory activity against S. aureus biofilm, a highly drug-resistant bacterial phenotype often unresponsive to antibiotic therapy, was also noticed. No adverse effects were observed by these dimers in a cell viability assay against HEK293 cells.

Three platinum complexes in which substituted (7-OMe, 9-NH2; 7-F, 9-NH2; and 7-H, 9-NH(CH2)2OH) 9-aminoacridine-4-carboxamides were tethered to a platinum(II)diamine moiety were synthesised and characterised at the chemical and biological level. These variants showed a decrease in cytotoxicity, as measured by IC50 values in HeLa cells, when compared with the parent 7-H, 9-NH2 compound. The 7-F and 9-NH(CH2)2OH substituents gave rise to a small decrease in cytotoxicity, and the 7-OMe substituent resulted in a larger decrease in cytotoxicity. Their binding to purified pUC19 plasmid DNA was investigated and it was found that the addition of 7-F, 9-NH(CH2)2OH and especially the 7-OMe substituents, resulted in reduced DNA binding. This correlated well with the IC50 cytotoxicity values. However, the DNA sequence selectivity was unaffected by the addition of these moieties.

The affinity of a synthetic polymer nanoparticle (NP) to a target biomacromolecule is determined by the association and dissociation rate constants (kon, koff) of the interaction. The individual rates and their sensitivity to local environmental influences are important factors for the on-demand capture and release a target biomacromolecule. Positively charged NPs for small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery is a case in point. The knockdown efficacy of siRNA can be strongly influenced by the binding kinetics to the NP. Here, we show that kon and koff of siRNA to NPs can be individually engineered by tuning the chemical structure and composition of the NP. N-Isopropylacrylamide-based NPs functionalized with hydrophobic and amine monomers were used. koff decreased by increasing the amount of amine groups in the NP, whereas kon did not change. Importantly, NPs showing a low koff at pH 5.5 together with a high koff at pH 7.4 showed high knockdown efficiency when NP/siRNA complexes were packaged in lipid nanoparticles. These results provide direct evidence for the premise that the efficacy of an siRNA delivery vector is linked with the strong affinity to the siRNA in the endosome and low affinity in the cytoplasm.
A Single Methylene Group in Oligoalkylamine-Based Cationic Polymers and Lipids Promotes Enhanced mRNA Delivery

The development of chemically modified mRNA holds great promise as a new class of biologic therapeutics. However, the intracellular delivery and endosomal escape of mRNA encapsulated in nanoparticles has not been systematically investigated. Here, we synthesized a diverse set of cationic polymers and lipids from a series of oligoalkylamines and subsequently characterized their mRNA delivery capability. Notably, a structure with an alternating alkyl chain length between amines showed the highest transfection efficiency, which was linked to a high buffering capacity in a narrow range of pH 6.2 to 6.5. Variation in only one methylene group resulted in enhanced mRNA delivery to both the murine liver as well as porcine lungs after systemic or aerosol administration, respectively. These findings reveal a novel fundamental structure–activity relationship for the delivery of mRNA that is independent of the class of mRNA carrier and define a promising new path of exploration in the field of mRNA therapeutics.

scheme or table, p. 6292 - 6304 (2010/10/19)
NG-Acylated argininamides, covering a broad range of lipophilicity (calculated log D values: -1.8-12.5), were synthesized and investigated for NPY Y1 receptor (Y1R) antagonism, Y 1R affinity and stability in buffer (NG-deacylation, yielding BIBP 3226). Broad structural variation of substituents was tolerated. The Ki (binding) and Kb values (Y1R antagonism) varied from low nM to one-digit μM. Most of the compounds proved to be sufficiently stable at pH 7.4 over 90 min to determine reliable pharmacological data in vitro. Exceptionally high instability was detected when a succinyl moiety was attached to the guanidine, probably, due to an intramolecular cleavage mechanism.
