Kushnirov Melnitzer, Vladislav published the artcileHybrid Titanium Oxide/Polymer Amphiphilic Nanomaterials with Controlled Size for Drug Encapsulation and Delivery, Application of 2-((5-Nitrothiazol-2-yl)carbamoyl)phenyl acetate, the main research area is nanoparticle titanium oxide polymer pharmaceutical.

This work describes for the first time the synthesis of hybrid drug-loaded TiO2/polymer amphiphilic nanoparticles of finely controlled size utilizing a simple and reproducible sol-gel process that comprises the formation of a titanium(IV)/acetone oxo-organo complex followed by its blending with an amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(propylene oxide) block copolymer in acetone and its aqueous-phase nanopptn. The size of the hybrid nanoparticles is governed by the complex aging, e.g., hybrid nanoparticles display diameter between 228 and 53 nm for aging of 1 and 36 days, resp. (dynamic light scattering). In addition, they show excellent phys. stability in water owing to the coating of the surface with poly(ethylene oxide) blocks of the copolymer. Conversely, polymer-free TiO2 particles are large and precipitate fast. Incorporation of a model hydrophobic drug, nitazoxanide, to the precursor solution results in hybrid nanoparticles containing 12.9% weight/weight cargo that is released following a bimodal profile. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (Titan Cubed Themis G2 300) anal. reveals the porous amorphous nanostructure of these novel hybrids and colocalization of drug and copolymer in the nanoparticle bulk. Finally, upon ultrasonication, our hybrid nanoparticles produce reactive oxygen species in vitro which paves the way for their use in sonodynamic and drug release therapies.

Koda, Yuta published the artcileAmphiphilic Poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate]s with OH Groups in the PEG Side Chains for Controlling Solution/Rheological Properties and toward Bioapplication, Name: Dodecyl 2-methylacrylate, the main research area is hydroxyl group amphiphilic polyethylene glycol methacrylate bioapplication; PEGylation; amphiphilic copolymers; bioapplication; living radical polymerization; poly(ethylene glycol); protein−polymer conjugation.

Poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate]s with OH groups on the PEG side chains [poly(PEGOHMA)s] were synthesized using ruthenium-catalyzed living radical polymerization (Ru-LRP) to diversify the polymer design of PEGylated methacrylate-based copolymers. Poly(PEGOHMA)s could not be prepared using the approach previously reported for the synthesis of poly[poly(ethylene glycol) Me ether methacrylate] [poly(PEGMA)]; therefore, the polymerization was adapted for poly(PEGOHMA)s. As a result, both homopolymerization and random and block copolymerization of PEGOHMA with other hydrophobic monomers were successfully achieved, resulting in the preparation of amphiphilic random block and star polymers. The solution and bulk properties of PEGOHMA-based (co)polymers were markedly different from those of PEGMA-based (co)polymers. By reacting the OH groups with biotin, protein-poly(PEGOHMA) conjugates were successfully prepared; however, it was not possible to prepare protein-polymer conjugates using terminal biotinylated PEGMA-based copolymers, owing to the steric hindrance of the unreactive PEG side chains.

Kanno, Rikuto published the artcileReversible Co-Self-Assembly and Self-Sorting Systems of Polymer Micelles in Water: Polymers Switch Association Partners in Response to Salts, Category: esters-buliding-blocks, the main research area is self sorting system polymer micelle water switch partner.

Reversible self-sorting and co-self-assembly systems of amphiphilic synthetic mols. in water would bring innovative methodologies in creating repeatedly transformable multicomponent self-assemblies that are responsive to the outer environment and stimuli. Herein, we report reversible co-self-assembly and self-sorting systems of the binary blends of amphiphilic random copolymers bearing quaternary ammonium cation and dodecyl groups and those carrying poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains and dodecyl groups in water. The cation copolymers co-self-assembled with the PEG copolymers to form cation/PEG-fused micelles in pure water, while the fused micelles self-sorted into discrete cation or PEG micelles in the presence of salts. Importantly, those random copolymers reversibly switch association partners in response to the presence or absence of salts in water. The size of the fused micelles was dependent on their copolymer composition but independent of the mixing ratio of cation and PEG copolymers. The fused micelles thus coexisted with the extra amount of cation or PEG micelles. We further revealed that the co-self-assembly and self-sorting of their copolymers are driven by the exchange of polymer chains between micelles like the exchange of subdomains in protein self-assemblies.

Lu, Nannan published the artcileAcid-responsive endosomolytic polymeric nanoparticles with amplification of intracellular oxidative stress for prodrug delivery and activation, Name: 2′,7′-Dichloro-3-oxo-3H-spiro[isobenzofuran-1,9′-xanthene]-3′,6′-diyl diacetate, the main research area is prodrug delivery endosomolytic polymeric nanoparticle intracellular oxidative stress.

Prodrug strategy especially in the field of chemotherapy of cancers possesses significant advantages reducing the side toxicity of anticancer drugs. However, high-efficiency delivery and in situ activation of prodrugs for tumor growth suppression are still a great challenge. Herein, we report rationally engineered pH-responsive endosomolytic polymeric micelles for the delivery of an oxidation-activable prodrug into the cytoplasm of cancer cells and amplification of intracellular oxidative stress for further prodrug activation. The prepared block copolymers consist of a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) block and a segment grafted by endosomolytic moieties and acetal linkage-connected cinnamaldehyde groups. The amphiphilic diblock copolymers can self-assemble to form micelles in water for loading the oxidation-activable phenylboronic pinacol ester-caged camptothecin prodrug (ProCPT). The obtained micelles can release free cinnamaldehyde under acidic conditions in tumor tissues and endo/lysosomes followed by efficient endosomal escape, which further induces enhancement of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) to activate the prodrugs. Simultaneously, intracellular glutathione (GSH) can be reduced by quinone methide that was produced during prodrug activation. The ProCPT-loaded micelles can finally achieve efficient tumor accumulation and retention as well as effective tumor growth inhibition. More importantly, hematol. and pathol. anal. of toxicity reveals that the ProCPT-loaded micelles do not cause obvious toxic side effects toward important organs of mice. A pos. immunomodulatory microenvironment in tumor tissue and serum can be detected after treatment with ProCPT-loaded micelles. Therefore, the endosomolytic ProCPT-loaded micelles exert synergistic therapeutic effects toward tumors through amplification of intracellular oxidative stress and activation of the prodrugs.

Sun, Xiuhua published the artcileStudy on the Core-Shell Reversion of PSBMA-b-PLMA Nanoparticles for the Fabrication of Antifouling Coatings, COA of Formula: C16H30O2, the main research area is core shell nanoparticle sulfobetaine lauryl methacrylate copolymer antifouling coating; PSBMA–PLMA nanoparticle; amphiphilic copolymer; antibacterial; antifouling; core−shell reversion.

In this paper, two series of poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate)-b-poly(lauryl methacrylate) (PSBMA-b-PLMA) diblock copolymers were prepared to investigate the core-shell reversion of amphiphilic copolymers. Exptl. results proved that the PSBMA-b-PLMA copolymers can be self-assembled as core-shell nanoparticles in chloroform. Moreover, 1H NMR spectra and contact angle measurements revealed that there is a transitional PSBMA/PLMA block ratio of 0.6, above which the nanoparticles are capable of switching their core and shell in aqueous solution Consequently, nanoparticles with PSBMA/PLMA block ratios above 0.6 showed superior antifouling and antibacterial abilities to those with block ratios below 0.4. Moreover, it was also found that the block chain length plays an important role in core-shell reversion as evidenced by 1H NMR spectra, water contact angle, and antifouling tests. As a result, coatings fabricated with the PLMA100 series of nanoparticles showed better antifouling abilities than those of the PLMA150 series at the same block ratio probably because of the thinner shell of PLMA100 copolymers. PSBMA100-b-PLMA100 was proved to be the best candidate for the fabrication of antifouling coatings as it exhibited the highest efficacy in antibacterial adhesion and antiprotein adsorption. This study provided a facile method to fabricate antifouling coatings by developing amphiphilic diblock copolymers with tuned hydrophobic/hydrophilic block ratio, block chain length, etc.

Zhao, Ji published the artcileCytotoxicity of mesoporous silica modified by amino and carboxyl groups on vascular endothelial cells, Name: 2′,7′-Dichloro-3-oxo-3H-spiro[isobenzofuran-1,9′-xanthene]-3′,6′-diyl diacetate, the main research area is silica mesoporous amino carboxyl group vascular endothelial cell cytotoxicity; amino; carboxyl; cytotoxicity; human umbilical vein endothelial cells; mesoporous silica.

Mesoporous silica is widely used because of its unique and excellent properties, especially it can be used as a drug carrier and gene carrier in the biomedical field. After the mesoporous silica is put into clin. use, it is more likely to be exposed in human body. Therefore, the effect of mesoporous silica on human body cannot be ignored. The injury of vascular endothelial cells is a prerequisite for the occurrence of many cardiovascular diseases. As a drug and gene carrier, mesoporous silica increases its contact with vascular endothelial cells, so its toxic effect on cardiovascular system cannot be ignored. In this study, amino (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) were modified on mesoporous silica SBA-15 by post-grafting. The results showed that it still maintained the one-dimensional hexagonal mesoporous structure of SBA-15 and had typical mesoporous structure. Then human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were infected with SBA-15, NH2-SBA-15, and COOH-SBA-15. The results showed that the functionalized mesoporous silica SBA-15 had cytotoxicity to HUVECs and damaged the cell membrane, but compared with the unmodified mesoporous silica SBA-15 the cytotoxicity of functionalized mesoporous silica SBA-15 was lower and the toxicity of carboxyl modified group was the lowest. By comparing the cell inhibition rate and the expression level of lactate dehydrogenate and reactive oxygen species induced by the three materials, oxidative damage and cell membrane damage may be two mechanisms of cytotoxicity. Mesoporous silica SBA-15 has an effect on cardiovascular system by inducing the high expression of nitric oxide, intercellular adhesive mol.-1 and vascular cell adhesive mol.-1 in HUVECs. In summary, our results show that mesoporous silica is toxic to vascular endothelial cells.

Mueller, Joachim published the artcileNitroreductases of bacterial origin in Giardia lamblia: Potential role in detoxification of xenobiotics, Application In Synthesis of 55981-09-4, the main research area is Giardia nitroreductase bacterial origin detoxification xenobiotics; anaerobic metabolism; detoxification; electron transfer; pathogenicity; resistance; susceptibility.

The anaerobic parasite Giardia lamblia, causative agent of persistent diarrhea, contains a family of nitroreductase genes most likely acquired by lateral transfer from anaerobic bacteria or archaebacteria. Two of these nitroreductases, containing a ferredoxin domain at their N-terminus, NR1, and NR2, have been characterized previously. Here, we present the characterization of a third member of this family, NR3. In functional assays, recombinant NR1 and NR3 reduced quinones like menadione and the antibiotic tetracycline, and-to much lesser extents-the nitro compound dinitrotoluene. Conversely, recombinant NR2 had no activity on tetracycline. Escherichia coli expressing NR3 were less susceptible to tetracycline, but more susceptible to the nitro compound metronidazole under semi-aerobic growth conditions. G. lamblia overexpressing NR1 and NR3, but not lines overexpressing NR2, are more susceptible to the nitro drug nitazoxanide. These findings suggest that NR3 is an active quinone reductase with a mode of action similar to NR1, but different from NR2. The biol. function of this family of enzymes may reside in the use of xenobiotics as final electron acceptors. Thereby, these enzymes may provide at least two evolutionary advantages namely a higher potential to recycle NAD(P) as electron acceptors for the (fermentative) energy and intermediary metabolism, and the possibility to inactivate toxic xenobiotics produced by microorganisms living in concurrence inside the intestinal habitat.

Darrah, Kristie published the artcileAllosteres to regulate neurotransmitter sulfonation, Recommanded Product: Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate, the main research area is SULT1A3 allosteric inhibitor catecholamine sulfonation; SULT1A3; allosteric regulation; allostery; catecholamine; dopamine; enzyme inhibitor; enzyme kinetics; enzyme mechanism; enzyme structure; epinephrine; inhibition; mechanism; neurotransmitter; norepinephrine; nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR); serotonin; spin label; sulfotransferase.

Catecholamine neurotransmitter levels in the synapses of the brain shape human disposition – cognitive flexibility, aggression, depression, and reward seeking – and manipulating these levels is a major objective of the pharmaceutical industry. Certain neurotransmitters are extensively sulfonated and inactivated by human sulfotransferase 1A3 (SULT1A3). To our knowledge, sulfonation as a therapeutic means of regulating transmitter activity has not been explored. Here, we describe the discovery of a SULT1A3 allosteric site that can be used to inhibit the enzyme. The structure of the new site is determined using spin-label-triangulation NMR. The site forms a cleft at the edge of a conserved ∼30-residue active-site cap that must open and close during the catalytic cycle. Allosteres anchor into the site via π-stacking interactions with two residues that sandwich the planar core of the allostere and inhibit the enzyme through cap-stabilizing interactions with substituents attached to the core. Changes in cap free energy were calculated ab initio as a function of core substituents and used to design and synthesize a series of inhibitors intended to progressively stabilize the cap and slow turnover. The inhibitors bound tightly (34 nm to 7.4μm) and exhibited progressive inhibition. The cap-stabilizing effects of the inhibitors were exptl. determined and agreed remarkably well with the theor. predictions. These studies establish a reliable heuristic for the design of SULT1A3 allosteric inhibitors and demonstrate that the free-energy changes of a small, dynamic loop that is critical for SULT substrate selection and turnover can be calculated accurately.

Kuppusamy, Saranya published the artcileExamining the polyphenol content, antioxidant activity and fatty acid composition of twenty-one different wastes of fruits, vegetables, oilseeds and beverages, Recommanded Product: Methyl docosanoate, the main research area is fruit vegetable oilseed beverage polyphenol food waste antioxidant activity.

Abstract: One of the most abundantly available, cost-effective valuable resources that are of all-time concern for minimization and economical re-utilization is food waste, and quantifying the phenolic compounds and identifying the principle chem. constituents will favor their industrial exploitation potential. Water, methanol and ethanol extracts of 21 common food wastes of four different classes (fruits, vegetables, oilseeds and beverages) were screened by determination of their antioxidant activity (measured by DPPH activity, reducing power and phosphomolybdenum method) as well as total phenol, flavonoid and ascorbic acid contents. Further predominant chem. constituents (essential fatty acid composition and elemental contents) of the top four phytochem.-rich food wastes were investigated by GC-MS and ICP-MS. Water was more efficient for polyphenol extraction, and ethanol extracts for antioxidant power. Onion peel, pineapple skin and date seed had the highest phenolic content and antioxidant activity. Radish peel showed the highest ascorbic acid content (48.9 ± 1.5 mg/g). Onion peel emerged as a unique source of flavonoids (> 80%). Onion peel, radish peel and pineapple skin were identified to be the sources of essential fatty acid, i.e., linoleic acid, particularly radish peel being the rich source of alpha-linoleic acid highlighting its potential for human dietary intake or as animal feed. Moreover, the screened polyphenol and unsaturated omega fatty acid-rich food wastes constituted considerable quantities of essential macro- and micronutrients. Our study demonstrates the possibility of recovering large amounts of natural phytochems. from food wastes as alternatives to synthetics and for industrial applications.
