Abstract
A novel family of precision-engineered gene vectors with well-defined structures built on trehalose and trehalose-based macrocycles (cyclotrehalans) comprising linear or cyclic polyamine heads have been synthesized through procedures that exploit click chemistry reactions. The strategy was conceived to enable systematic structural variations and, at the same time, ensuring that enantiomerically pure vectors are obtained. Notably, changes in the molecular architecture translated into topological differences at the nanoscale upon co-assembly with plasmid DNA, especially regarding the presence of regions with short- or long-range internal order as observed by TEM. In vitro and in vivo experiments further evidenced a significant impact on cell and organ transfection selectivity. Altogether, the results highlight the potential of trehalose-polyamine/pDNA nanocomplex monoformulations to achieve targeting transfection without the need for any additional cell- or organ-sorting component.

Abstract
The growing applications of therapeutic nucleic acids requires the concomitant development of vectors that are optimized to complex one type of nucleic acid, forming nanoparticles suitable for further trafficking and delivery. While fine-tuning a vector by molecular engineering to obtain a particular nanoscale organization at the nanoparticle level can be a challenging endeavor, we turned the situation around and instead screened the complexation preferences of dynamic constitutional frameworks toward different types of DNAs. Dynamic constitutional frameworks (DCF) are recently-identified vectors by our group that can be prepared in a versatile manner through dynamic covalent chemistry. Herein, we designed and synthesized 40 new DCFs that vary in hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance, number of cationic headgroups. The results of DNA complexation obtained through gel electrophoresis and fluorescent displacement assays reveal binding preferences of different DCFs toward different DNAs. The formation of compact spherical architectures with an optimal diameter of 100-200 nm suggests that condensation into nanoparticles is more effective for longer PEG chains and PEI groups that induce a better binding performance in the presence of DNA targets.

A β-Cyclodextrin-Based Nanoparticle with Very High Transfection Efficiency Unveils siRNA-Activated TLR3 Responses in Human Prostate Cancer Cells. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:2424.

Abstract
Synthetic double-stranded small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) mimic interference RNAs (RNAi) and can bind target mRNAs with a high degree of specificity, leading to selective knockdown of the proteins they encode. However, siRNAs are very labile and must be both protected and transported by nanoparticles to be efficiently delivered into cells. In this work, we used a Janus-type polycationic amphiphilic β-cyclodextrin derivative to efficiently transfect siRNAs targeting mRNAs encoding mitogen-activated protein kinase (p42-MAPK) or Ras homolog enriched in brain (Rheb) into different cancer cell lines as well as astrocytes. We took advantage of this high transfection efficiency to simultaneously knock down p42-MAPK and Rheb to boost docetaxel (DTX)-mediated toxicity in two human prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP and PC3). We found that double knockdown of p42-MAPK and Rheb increased DTX-toxicity in LNCaP but not in PC3 cells. However, we also observed the same effect when scramble siRNA was used, therefore pointing to an off-target effect. Indeed, we found that the siRNA we used in this work induced toll-like receptor 3 activation, leading to β-interferon production and caspase activation. We believe that this mechanism could be very useful as a general strategy to elicit an immune response against prostate cancer cells.

Abstract
The dynamic functionalization of the nanoparticle surface with biocompatible coatings is a critical step towards the development of functional nano-sized systems. While covalent approaches have been broadly exploited in the stabilization of nanoparticle colloidal systems, these strategies hinder the dynamic nanosurface chemical reconfiguration. Supramolecular strategies based on specific host-guest interactions hold promise due to their intrinsic reversibility, self-healing capabilities and modularity. Host/guest couples have recently been implemented in nanoparticle platforms for the exchange and release of effector molecules. However, the direct exchange of biocompatible hydrophilic oligomers (e.g. peptides) for the modulation of the surface charge and chemical properties of nanoparticles still remains a challenge. Here, we show the intracellular reconfiguration of nanoparticles by a host/guest mechanism with biocompatible oligomeric competitors. The surface of gold nanoparticles was functionalized with cyclodextrin hosts and the guest exchange was studied with biocompatible mono and divalent adamantyl competitors. The systematic characterization of the size and surface potential of the host/guest nanoparticles allowed the optimization of the binding and the stabilization properties of these supramolecular systems. The in cellulo host/guest-mediated direct reconfiguration of the peptide layer at the surface of nanoparticles is achieved by controlling the valence of adamantane-equipped peptides. This work demonstrates that host/guest supramolecular systems can be exploited for the direct exchange of pendants at the surface of nanoparticles and the intracellular dynamic chemical reconfiguration of biocompatible colloidal systems.

Abstract
Instilling segregated cationic and lipophilic domains with an angular disposition in a trehalose-based trifaceted macrocyclic scaffold allows engineering patchy molecular nanoparticles leveraging directional interactions that emulate those controlling self-assembling processes in viral capsids. The resulting trilobular amphiphilic derivatives, featuring a Mickey Mouse architecture, can electrostatically interact with plasmid DNA (pDNA) and further engage in hydrophobic contacts to promote condensation into transfectious nanocomplexes. Notably, the topology and internal structure of the cyclooligosaccharide/pDNA co-assemblies can be molded by fine-tuning the valency and characteristics of the cationic and lipophilic patches, which strongly impacts the transfection efficacy in vitro and in vivo. Outstanding organ selectivities can then be programmed with no need of incorporating a biorecognizable motif in the formulation. The results provide a versatile strategy for the construction of fully synthetic and perfectly monodisperse nonviral gene delivery systems uniquely suited for optimization schemes by making cyclooligosaccharide patchiness the focus.

Abstract
The interaction between calf-thymus DNA, ctDNA, and various single-chained surfactants with different functional groups at the end of hydrophobic tail was studied with the goal of investigating the influence of the functional group nature on surfactant DNA compacting efficiency. The surfactants investigated were dodecyltriethylammonium bromide (DTEABr), triethyl(1-phenoxydodecyl)ammonium bromide (12PhBr), triethyl(2-naphthoxydodecyl)ammonium bromide (12NBr) and 11-(isonicotinoyloxy)-N,N,N-triethyl-1-undecanaminium bromide (11PyBr). Results made evident that the surfactants' tendencies to self-aggregation is the key factor determining their efficiency to compact the nucleic acid. Subsequently, DOPE/12NBr/pEGFP-C1 lipoplexes, with different cationic surfactant molar fractions (α) and mass ratios (L/D), were prepared and characterized. DOPE is a zwitterionic phospholipid 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, and the plasmid pEGFP-C1 carries a GFP coding sequence with the necessary regulatory elements for constitutive expression of the gene in human cells. 12NBr was chosen because it was the most efficient DNA compacting agent among the surfactants investigated. Finally, the cytotoxicity and transfection efficiency (TE) of DOPE/12NBr/pDNA lipoplexes, with different compositions, were investigated.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) have long occupied a prominent position in most pharmaceutical laboratories as "off-the-shelve" tools to manipulate the pharmacokinetics of a broad range of active principles, due to their unique combination of biocompatibility and inclusion abilities. The development of precision chemical methods for their selective functionalization, in combination with "click" multiconjugation procedures, have further leveraged the nanoscaffold nature of these oligosaccharides, creating a direct link between the glyco and the nano worlds. CDs have greatly contributed to understand and exploit the interactions between multivalent glycodisplays and carbohydrate-binding proteins (lectins) and to improve the drug-loading and functional properties of nanomaterials through host-guest strategies. The whole range of capabilities can be enabled through self-assembly, template-assisted assembly or covalent connection of CD/glycan building blocks. This review discusses the advancements made in this field during the last decade and the amazing variety of functional glyconanomaterials empowered by the versatility of the CD component.

Abstract
Original molecular vectors that ensure broad flexibility to tune the shape and surface properties of plasmid DNA (pDNA) condensates are reported herein. The prototypic design involves a cyclodextrin (CD) platform bearing a polycationic cluster at the primary face and a doubly linked aromatic module bridging two consecutive monosaccharide units at the secondary face that behaves as a topology-encoding element. Subtle differences at the molecular level then translate into disparate morphologies at the nanoscale, including rods, worms, toroids, globules, ellipsoids, and spheroids. In vitro evaluation of the transfection capabilities revealed marked selectivity differences as a function of nanocomplex morphology. Remarkably high transfection efficiencies were associated with ellipsoidal or spherical shapes with a lamellar internal arrangement of pDNA chains and CD bilayers. Computational studies support that the stability of such supramolecular edifices is directly related to the tendency of the molecular vector to form noncovalent dimers upon DNA templating. Because the stability of the dimers depends on the protonation state of the polycationic clusters, the coaggregates display pH responsiveness, which facilitates endosomal escape and timely DNA release, a key step in successful transfection. The results provide a versatile strategy for the construction of fully synthetic and perfectly monodisperse nonviral gene delivery systems uniquely suited for optimization schemes.

Abstract
The architectural perfection and multivalency of dendrimers have made them useful for biodelivery via peripheral functionalization and the adjustment of dendrimer generations. Modulation of the core-forming and internal matrix-forming structures offers virtually unlimited opportunities for further optimization, but only in a few cases this has been made compatible with strict diastereomeric purity over molecularly diverse series, low toxicity, and limited synthetic effort. Fully regular star polymers built on biocompatible macrocyclic platforms, such as hyperbranched cyclodextrins, offer advantages in terms of facile synthesis and flexible compositions, but core elaboration in terms of shape and function becomes problematic. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of star polymers consisting of functional trehalose-based macrocyclic cores (cyclotrehalans, CTs) and aminothiourea dendron arms, which can be efficiently synthesized from sequential click reactions of orthogonal monomers, display no cytotoxicity, and efficiently complex and deliver plasmid DNA in vitro and in vivo. When compared with some commercial cationic dendrimers or polymers, the new CT-scaffolded star polymers show better transfection efficiencies in several cell lines and structure-dependent cell selectivity patterns. Notably, the CT core could be predefined to exert Zn(II) complexing or molecular inclusion capabilities, which has been exploited to synergistically boost cell transfection by orders of magnitude and modulate the organ tropism in vivo.

Abstract
Macrocycle, cyclo[4] [(1,3-(4,6)-dimethylbezene)[4](2,6-(3,5)-dimethylpyridine (B4P4), shows highly selective binding affinity with protirelin (Pyr-His-Pro-NH2 ; TRH) among the tested 26 drug or drug adductive substrates. The stable complexation in a 1:1 manner was fully characterized in solution, gas phase, and solid state study. Furthermore, B4P4 acts as an efficient TRH inhibitor even at [macrocycle]:[drug] <1:300, both in membrane transport and cellar incubation. The current work provides an unprecedented strategy for macrocycles to be efficiently used in drug target therapy.

Abstract
Gene therapy is a therapeutic process consisting of the transport of genetic material into cells. The design and preparation of novel carriers to transport DNA is an important research line in the medical field. Hybrid compounds such as metallo-liposomes, containing a mixture of lipids, were prepared and characterized. Cationic metal lipids derived from the [Ru(bpy)3]2+ complex, RuC11C11 or RuC19C19, both with different hydrophobic/lipophilic ratios, were mixed with the phospholipid DOPE. A relation between the size and the molar fraction α was found and a multidisciplinary study about the interaction between the metallo-liposomes and DNA was performed. The metallo-liposomes/DNA association was quantified and a relationship between Kapp and α was obtained. Techniques such as AFM, SEM, zeta potential, dynamic light scattering and agarose gel electrophoresis demonstrated the formation of lipoplexes and showed the structure of the liposomes. L/D values corresponding to the polynucleotide’s condensation were estimated. In vitro assays proved the low cell toxicity of the metallo-liposomes, lower for normal cells than for cancer cell lines, and a good internalization into cells. The latter as well as the transfection measurements carried out with plasmid DNA pEGFP-C1 have demonstrated a good availability of the Ru(II)-based liposomes for being used as non-toxic nanovectors in gene therapy.

Abstract
We present three easily rationalized star-shaped PEGylated β-cyclodextrin (βCD) derivatives synthesized via conjugation of different molecular weight PEG chains (5000, 2000, and 550 Da) to the βCD primary face by click chemistry (βCD-PEG5000, βCD-PEG2000, βCD-PEG550 respectively). βCDPEG systems are envisioned to further carry bioactive molecules, therefore, their interactions with biological interfaces must be determined at an early stage of development. Hence, the effect of βCDPEGs chain length on cell viability was investigated. To this aim, three models were selected: Vero cells for their fibroblast-like features; HeLa cells that are commonly used for preliminary viability screening; and human peripheral monocytes which are macrophage precursors. Of the three pegylated derivatives, βCD-PEG550 was the one that significantly affected HeLa cells and human monocytes viability. Despite the popularity of PEGylation approach, our results underscore the importance of careful and systematic PEGylated materials design for their future success in drug delivery systems.

Abstract
The ester bond as a universal linker has recently been applied in gene delivery systems owing to its efficient gene release by electrostatic repulsion after its cleavage. However, the ester bond is nonlabile and is difficult to cleave in cells. This work reports a method in which a secondary amine was introduced to the β-position of the ester bond to generate a hydrogen-bond cyclization (HBC) structure that can make the ester bond hydrolysis ultrafast. A series of molecules comprising ultrasensitive esters that can be activated by H2 O2 were synthesized, and it was found that those able to form an HBC structure showed complete ester hydrolysis within 5 h in both water and phosphate-buffered saline solution, which was several times faster than other methods reported. Then, a series of amphiphilic poly(amidoamine) dendrimers were constructed, comprising the ultrasensitive ester groups for gene delivery; it was found that they could effectively release genes under quite a low concentration of H2 O2 (<200 μm) and transport them into the nucleus within 2 h in Hela cells with high safety. Their gene transfection efficiencies were higher than that of PEI25k . The results demonstrated that the hydrogen-bond-induced ultrasensitive esters could be powerfully applied to construct gene delivery systems.

Abstract
Nanosized metal-organic frameworks (nanoMOFs) MIL-100(Fe) are highly porous and biodegradable materials that have emerged as promising drug nanocarriers. A challenging issue concerns their surface functionalization in order to evade the immune system and to provide molecular recognition ability, so that they can be used for specific targeting. A convenient method for their coating with tetraethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and mannose residues is reported herein. The method consists of the organic solvent-free self-assembly on the nanoMOFs of building blocks based on β-cyclodextrin facially derivatized with the referred functional moieties, and multiple phosphate groups to anchor to the nanoparticles' surface. The coating of nanoMOFs with cyclodextrin phosphate without further functional groups led to a significant decrease of macrophage uptake, slightly improved by polyethylene glycol or mannose-containing cyclodextrin phosphate coating. More notably, nanoMOFs modified with tetraethylene glycol-containing cyclodextrin phosphate displayed the most efficient "stealth" effect. Mannose-coated nanoMOFs displayed a remarkably enhanced binding affinity towards a specific mannose receptor, such as Concanavalin A, due to the multivalent display of the monosaccharide, as well as reduced macrophage internalization. Coating with tetraethylente glycol of nanoMOFs after loading with doxorubicin is also described. Therefore, phosphorylated cyclodextrins offer a versatile platform to coat nanoMOFs in an organic solvent-free, one step manner, providing them with new biorecognition and/or "stealth" properties.

Abstract
The presence of a doubly-linked naphthylene clip at the O-2I and O-3II positions in the secondary ring of β-cyclodextrin (βCD) derivatives promoted their self-assembly into head-to-head supramolecular dimers in which the aromatic modules act either as cavity extension walls (if the naphthalene moiety is 1,8-disubstituted) or as folding screens that separate the individual βCD units (if 2,3-disubstituted). Dimer architecture is governed by the conformational properties of the monomer constituents, as determined by NMR, fluorescence, circular dichroism, and computational techniques. In a second supramolecular organization level, the topology of the assembly directs host-guest interactions and, reciprocally, guest inclusion impacts the stability of the supramolecular edifice. Thus, inclusion of adamantane carboxylate, a well-known βCD cavity-fitting guest, was found to either preserve the dimeric arrangement, leading to multicomponent species, or elicit dimer disruption. The ensemble of results highlights the potential of the approach to program self-organization and external stimuli responsiveness of CD devices in a controlled manner while keeping full diastereomeric purity.

Abstract
Delivery remains a major obstacle restricting the potential action of small molecular drugs as well as novel biologics which cannot readily enter cells without the help of a vector. A successful active delivery process involves three steps: (a) tagging the drug with a vector, (b) effective trafficking of this [drug-vector] conjugate through biological barriers, and finally (c) controlled drug release. While covalent bond formation and/or supramolecular association is involved in the making of the [drug-vector] conjugate, the final step requires precisely a controlled dissociation in order to trigger drug release. Therefore, in pursuit of smart, effective, and nontoxic delivery systems, it has become widely recognized that control over dynamic self-assembly could unleash the efficacy of artificial vectors. In this Account, I discuss our endeavors, and those of colleagues, in the recent implementation of Dynamic Covalent Chemistry (DCvC) in delivery applications. DCvC exploits reversible covalent reactions to generate covalent systems that can self-fabricate, adapt, respond, and fall apart in a controlled fashion. A privileged set of reversible covalent reactions has emerged in the community working on delivery applications and is based on condensation reactions (imine, acylhydrazone, oxime), and disulfide and boronate ester formations. The latest developments making this chemistry particularly attractive for such a DCvC approach are discussed. The rational justifying the potential of DCvC in delivery is based on the principle that using such reversible covalent reactions afford transient [drug-vector] conjugates which form spontaneously and chemoselectively, then adapt and self-correct their structure during self-assembly and trafficking thanks to the dynamic nature of the reversible covalent bonds, and finally respond to physicochemical stimuli such as pH and redox changes, thereby enabling controlled dissociation and concomitant drug release. For these reasons, DCvC has recently emerged as a leverage tool with growing prospects for advancing toward smarter delivery systems. The implementation of DCvC can follow three approaches that are discussed herein: (1) dynamic covalent bioconjugates, involving the transient covalent conjugation with a vector, (2) dynamic covalent vectors, involving the controlled dynamic and adaptive assembly and disassembly of vectors that complex drugs through supramolecular association, and (3) dynamic covalent targeting, involving the transient chemoselective formation of covalent bonds with the constituents of cell membranes. While DCvC has already attracted interest in material sciences, the recent results described in this Account showcase the vast potential of DCvC in biological sciences, and in particular in delivery applications where self-fabricated, adaptive, and responsive devices are of utmost importance.

Cyclodextrin polymers decorated with RGD peptide as delivery systems for targeted anti-cancer chemotherapy. Invest New Drugs 2018; 37:771-778. [PMID: 30556100 DOI: 10.1007/s10637-018-0711-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2018] [Accepted: 12/05/2018] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
Polymeric cyclodextrin-based nanoparticles are currently undergoing clinical trials as nanotherapeutics. Using a non-covalent approach, we decorated two cross-linked cyclodextrin polymers of different molecular weights with an RGD peptide derivative to construct a novel carrier for the targeted delivery of doxorubicin. RGD is the binding sequence for the integrin receptor family that is highly expressed in tumour tissues. The assembled host-guest systems were investigated using NMR and DLS techniques. We found that, in comparison with free doxorubicin or the binary complex doxorubicin/cyclodextrin polymer, the RGD units decorating the cyclodextrin-based nanosystems improved the selectivity and cytotoxicity of the complexed doxorubicin towards cultured human tumour cell lines. Our results suggest that the nanocarriers under study may contribute to the development of new platforms for cancer therapy.

Abstract
The topology of β-cyclodextrin can be molded, from toroidal to ovoid basket-shaped, by the installation of an o- or m-xylylene moiety connecting two consecutive d-glucopyranosyl units through the secondary O-2(I) and O-3(II) positions. This strategy can be exploited advantageously to precast the cavity for preferential inclusion of globular or planar guests as well as to privilege dimeric or monomeric species in water solution.
