Engineering of new crosslinked near‐infrared fluorescent polyethylene glycol bisphosphonate nanoparticles for bone targeting

Bisphosphonates (BPs) are nonhydrolysable pyrophosphate analogs with high affinity to hydroxyapatite (HAP, bone mineral) and are mainly used for treatment of various bone diseases. In this study, we designed and prepared crosslinked BP nanoparticles by dispersion copolymerization of three monomers: methacrylate PEG bisphosphonate, N‐(3‐aminopropyl) methacrylamide, and tetra(ethylene glycol) diacrylate. The size and size distribution of these PEG‐BP nanoparticles were controlled by changing various polymerization parameters. These BP particles possess dual functionality: covalent attachment of a dye (e.g., near IR fluorescent dye) or drug to the nanoparticles through the primary amine groups belonging to the aminopropyl methacrylamide monomeric units and chelation to the bone mineral HAP through the BP groups belonging to the methacrylate PEG bisphosphonate monomeric units, for enhanced long term bone‐targeted imaging and therapy applications. Body distribution of the optimal crosslinked BP nanoparticles was tested on a chicken embryo model via intravenous administration. This study indicated that the fluorescence intensity of the all organs (e.g., blood, spleen, liver, kidney, and heart) except the bones decreased significantly within 48 h (p < 0.05) while that of the bones hardly changed over that time (p > 0.05). © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of functionalized alkoxyalkylidene gem-bisphosphonates

We report the synthesis of a series of new functionalized bisphosphonates and bisphosphonic acids with an alkoxy group fixed at the geminal carbon, which is proposed to increase their lipophilicity and so their bioavailability. Subsequently, the alkylation of these alkoxy bisphosphonates with allyl bromide is reported. The reactivity of the allyl group has been studied to give access to alkoxy bisphosphonates functionalized by diverse groups including alcohol, aldehyde, carboxylic acid, epoxide and amine.     

Direct Enamido C(sp2)−H Diphosphorylation Enabled by a PCET-Triggered Double Radical Relay: Access to gem-Bisphosphonates

Herein we report a novel and straightforward protocol for the construction of valuable gem-BPs by means of proton-coupled electron-transfer (PCET)-triggered enamido C(sp²)−H diphosphorylation. This reaction represents a rare example of realizing the challenging double C−P bond formation at a single carbon atom, thus providing facile access to a broad variety of structurally diverse bisphosphonates from simple enamides under silver-mediated conditions. Initial mechanistic studies demonstrated that the diphosphorylation involves two rounds of PCET-initiated radical relay process.     

Efficient synthesis of isoxazolidine-substituted bisphosphonates by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions

Several bisphosphonates bearing a substituted isoxazolidine ring have been synthesized in good yield by direct 1,3-dipolar cyclization reaction, under microwaves catalysis, in the absence of solvent. The method allows the simultaneous incorporation, on the geminal position of the bisphosphonate framework, of a basic nitrogen and of an oxygen atom, as third hook. Hydrophobicity-hydrophilicity of BPs is discussed with the help of distribution coefficients.     

Highly enantioselective approach to geminal bisphosphonates by organocatalyzed Michael-type addition of beta-ketoesters

A valuable organocatalyzed protocol has been developed for the asymmetric synthesis of bisphosphonate derivatives, a class of pharmaceutically important molecules. Cheap and commercially available dihydroquinine effectively catalyzed conjugate additions of cyclic beta-ketoesters to ethylidenebisphosphonate esters, leading to optically active geminal bisphosphonates, bearing an all-carbon substituted quaternary stereocenter, in high yields and enantioselectivities of up to 99 % ee. Further elaborations of Michael adducts to the corresponding bisphosphonic acids or vinyl phosphonates have also been successfully performed, with conservation of optical purity.
