[PMID: 37214549 PMCID: PMC10199221 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2023.100644] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2022] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Self-assembled short peptides have intrigued scientists due to the convenience of synthesis, good biocompatibility, low toxicity, inherent biodegradability and fast response to change in the physiological environment. Therefore, it is necessary to present a comprehensive summary of the recent advances in the last decade regarding the construction, route of administration and application of self-assembled short peptides based on the knowledge on their unique and specific ability of self-assembly. Herein, we firstly explored the molecular mechanisms of self-assembly of short peptides, such as non-modified amino acids, as well as Fmoc-modified, N-functionalized, and C-functionalized peptides. Next, cell penetration, fusion, and peptide targeting in peptide-based drug delivery were characterized. Then, the common administration routes and the potential pharmaceutical applications (drug delivery, antibacterial activity, stabilizers, imaging agents, and applications in bioengineering) of peptide drugs were respectively summarized. Last but not least, some general conclusions and future perspectives in the relevant fields were briefly listed. Although with certain challenges, great opportunities are offered by self-assembled short peptides to the fascinating area of drug development.

Abstract
Charge transfer (CT) interactions have been widely used to construct supramolecular systems, such as functional nanostructures and gels. However, to date, there is no report on the generation of CT complexes at the liquid-liquid interface. Here, by using an electron-deficient acceptor dissolved in water and an electron-rich donor dissolved in oil, we present the in situ formation and assembly of CT complex surfactants (CTCSs) at the oil-water interface. With time, CTCSs can assemble into higher-order nanofilms with exceptional mechanical properties, allowing the stabilization of liquids and offering the possibility to structure liquids into nonequilibrium shapes. Moreover, due to the redox-responsiveness of the electron-deficient acceptor, the association and dissociation of CTCSs can be reversibly manipulated in a redox process, leading to the switchable assembly and disassembly of the resultant constructs.

Abstract
Conjugated polymers are an important class of chromophores for optoelectronic devices. Understanding and controlling their excited state properties, in particular, radiative and non‐radiative recombination processes are among the greatest challenges that must be overcome. We report the synthesis and characterization of a molecularly encapsulated naphthalene diimide‐based polymer, one of the most successfully used motifs, and explore its structural and optical properties. The molecular encapsulation enables a detailed understanding of the effect of interpolymer interactions. We reveal that the non‐encapsulated analogue P(NDI‐2OD‐T) undergoes aggregation enhanced emission; an effect that is suppressed upon encapsulation due to an increasing π‐interchain stacking distance. This suggests that decreasing π‐stacking distances may be an attractive method to enhance the radiative properties of conjugated polymers in contrast to the current paradigm where it is viewed as a source of optical quenching.

Abstract
This study vividly displays the different self-assembling behavior and consequent tuning of the fluorescence property of a peptide-appended core-substituted naphthalenediimide (N1) in the aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents (n-hexane/n-decane/methyl cyclohexane) and in an aqueous medium within micelles. The N1 is highly fluorescent in the monomeric state and self-aggregates in a hydrocarbon solvent, exhibiting "H-type" or "face-to-face" stacking as indicated by a blue shift of absorption maxima in the UV-vis spectrum. In the H-aggregated state, the fluorescence emission of N1 changes to green from the yellow emission obtained in the monomeric state. In the presence of a micelle-forming surfactant, cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), the N1 is found to be dispersed in a water medium. Interestingly, upon encapsulation of N1 into the micelle, the molecule alters its self-assembling pattern and optical property compared to its behavior in the hydrocarbon solvent. The N1 exhibits "edge-to-edge" stacking or J aggregates inside the micelle as indicated by the UV-vis spectroscopic study, which shows a red shift of the absorption maxima compared to that in the monomeric state. The fluorescence emission also differs in the water medium with the NDI derivative exhibiting red emission. FT-IR studies reveal that all amide NHs of N1 are hydrogen-bonded within the micelle (in the J-aggregated state), whereas both non-bonding and hydrogen-bonding amide NHs are present in the H-aggregated state. This is a wonderful example of solvent-mediated transformation of the aggregation pattern (from H to J) and solvatochromism of emission over a wide range from green in the H-aggregated state to yellow in the monomeric state and orangish-red in the J-aggregated state. Moreover, the J aggregate has been successfully utilized for selective and sensitive detection of nitrite ions in water even in the presence of other common anions (NO3-, SO42-, HSO4-, CO32-, and Cl-).

Abstract
Synthesis of supramolecular block co-polymers (BCP) with small monomers and predictive sequence requires elegant molecular design and synthetic strategies. Herein we report the unparalleled synthesis of tri-component supramolecular BCPs with tunable microstructure by a kinetically controlled sequential seeded supramolecular polymerization of fluorescent π-conjugated monomers. Core-substituted naphthalene diimide (cNDI) derivatives with different core substitutions and appended with β-sheet forming peptide side chains provide perfect monomer design with spectral complementarity, pathway complexity and minimal structural mismatch to synthesize and characterize the multi-component BCPs. The distinct fluorescent nature of various cNDI monomers aids the spectroscopic probing of the seeded growth process and the microscopic visualization of resultant supramolecular BCPs using Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM). Kinetically controlled sequential seeded supramolecular polymerization presented here is reminiscent of the multi-step synthesis of covalent BCPs via living chain polymerization. These findings provide a promising platform for constructing unique functional organic heterostructures for various optoelectronic and catalytic applications.

Abstract
A histidine-containing bola-amphiphilic molecule (NDIP) containing a peptide-appended naphthalenediimide (NDI) forms fluorescent hydrogels in phosphate buffer and organogels with benzenoid solvents. These gels were characterized by several spectroscopic and microscopic techniques including FT-IR, HR-TEM, powder X-ray diffraction and small-angle X-ray scattering, UV-Vis and fluorescence studies. The gelator molecule exhibits no significant fluorescence in the xerogel state, while it shows a significant fluorescence (bright cyan) in the presence of volatile organic/inorganic acid vapors; this cyan color vanishes in presence of base (ammonia vapors). A reusable paper-strip-based method based on this self-assembled fluorescent material can be used to easily detect hazardous volatile acid and base vapors with the naked eye.

Abstract
The pH-responsive nature of two self-assembled NDI-peptide amphiphile conjugates is reported. The diethoxy substituted NDI showed a pH-dependent assembly behaviour, as expected. In contrast, the isopropylamino- and ethoxy-substituted NDI based supramolecular polymer was stable at acidic and basic aqueous conditions. This finding highlights how subtle changes in the molecular design of π-stacked chromophore-peptide conjugates have a drastic impact on their equilibrium structure and ultimately functional properties.

Abstract
Two naphthalene diimide containing molecules, one with a covalently linked peptide (P1) and the other with a covalently attached amino acid residue and a diamine moiety (P2), have been chosen in such a way that the number of intervening amide groups and the centrally located imide moieties are the same, and their molecular formulae are also identical. However, the positions of the amide groups are different in these two molecules and this can dictate a different behaviour in molecular assembly and gelation processes for each of the individual NDI-appended peptide (P1) and pseudo-peptide (P2). The molecule P1 with an attached peptide moiety and the intervening -CO-NH groups forms an organogel in a mixture of chloroform-methylcyclohexane at a very rapid rate and the mechanical strength of the gel is quite high, whereas the molecule P2, containing the amino acid and diamide moieties, and with the intervening -NH-CO groups forms an organogel in a relatively much slower rate in chloroform-methylcyclohexane mixture. The mechanical strength of the P2 gel is significantly lower compared to that of the P1 gel at the same concentration and solvent system. The minimum gelation concentration of P1 is much smaller than that of P2 in the same solvent system. The thermal stability of the P1 gel is higher than that of the P2 gel at the same concentration and solvent system. However, both of these gels form J-type aggregates in a mixture of chloroform-methylcyclohexane with a red shift in the UV-vis spectrum. The gelator P1 exhibits enhanced fluorescence compared to that of P2 at a fixed concentration and in the same solvent system (mixture of chloroform-methylcyclohexane, 5 : 95 (v/v)). The lifetime and quantum yield of the P1 gel are also significantly higher than those of the P2 gel under similar gelation conditions. Moreover, both P1 and P2 are found to exhibit significant semiconducting behaviours in their dried/xerogel states. It is important to note that the stronger gel P1 exhibits relatively better semiconducting behaviour than the weak gel P2. Interestingly, the self-assembly, gelation, photoluminescence and electrical conductivity are different for the gels obtained from these two molecules. This indicates the role of the amide bond and its linkage (whether -CONH/-NHCO) in the self-assembly, gelation and optoelectronic behaviour of these molecules in their assembled states.

Abstract
Three l-tartaric acid based symmetrical A-π-D-chiral-D-π-A type structural isomeric nitrobenzylidenes (1-3) have been synthesized with intent to achieve isomer specific metallogels with intramolecular charge transfer properties. Alkali metal ions in these systems not only trigger charge transfer but also play a vital role in gelation. The presence of intramolecular rather than intermolecular charge transfer as well as aggregation has been well established by various kinds of experiments using UV-vis, CD, (1)H NMR, DFT and crystallography techniques. The role of alkali metal ions in triggering ICT was proved by titration with their respective crown ethers. Notably, Na(+) afforded twisted fiber morphology whilst Li(+) gave merely long range fibers. The true gel phase material was proved by detailed rheological studies.

Abstract
As a new class of biomaterials, most supramolecular hydrogels formed by small peptides require the attachment of long alkyl chains, multiple aromatic groups, or strong electrostatic interactions. Based on the fact that the most abundant protein assemblies in nature are dimeric, we select short peptide sequences from the interface of a heterodimer of proteins with known crystal structure to conjugate with nucleobases to form nucleopeptides. Being driven mainly by hydrogen bonds, the nucleopeptides self-assemble to form nanofibers, which results in supramolecular hydrogels upon simple mixing of two distinct nucleopeptides in water. Moreover, besides being biocompatible to mammalian cells, the heterodimer of the nucleopeptides exhibit excellent proteolytic resistance against proteinase K. This work illustrates a new and rational approach to create soft biomaterials by a supramolecular hydrogelation triggered by mixing heterodimeric nucleopeptides.
