Design and synthesis of core and peripherally functionalized with 1,8-naphthalimide units fluorescent PAMAM dendron as light harvesting antenna

This paper reports on the design, synthesis and spectral characteristics of a novel PAMAM dendron (7), core and peripherally functionalized with 1,8-naphthalimide fluorophores. The novel compound 7 was configured as light harvesting antenna where the system surface is functionalized with “donor” dyes (blue emitting 1,8-naphthalimides) that are capable of absorbing light and efficiently transferring the energy to a single “acceptor” dye (yellow-green emitting 1,8-naphthalimide) in the focal point of the dendron. The overlap between the emission of the donor and the absorbance of the acceptor was more than 95%. As a result of the energy transfer, the blue emission intensity of the periphery in the donor–acceptor system was decreased with 93%, while the yellow-green core fluorescence enhancement (λ_ex = 360 nm) of the system was more than 26 times with respect to the fluorescence intensity of the comparative yellow-green emitting 1,8-naphthalimide. This indicates efficient energy transfer between the donor and acceptor dye fragments and that the novel compound 7 would be able to act as a highly efficient light harvesting antenna.     

Adhesive peptides conjugated PAMAM dendrimer as a coating polymeric material enhancing cell responses

This present work aims to functionalize poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers with various reported adhesive peptides, including Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), Tyr-Ile-Gly-Ser-Arg (YIGSR), and Ile-Lys-Val-Ala-Val (IKVAV) for enhancing cell responses. The RGD, YIGSR, or IKVAV functionalized PAMAM coated substrate could promote cell adhesion of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) within 1 h after incubation. The neurite differentiation and proliferation of pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells were also significantly enhanced after culturing on the peptide functionalized PAMAM dendrimers for two and four days. This peptide functionalized PAMAM dendrimers are considered as the potential candidates for various tissue engineering applications.

Photoelectrochemical glucose biosensor incorporating CdS nanoparticles

A novel photoelectrochemical biosensor incorporating nanosized CdS semiconductor crystals with enzyme to enhance photochemical reaction has been investigated. CdS nanoparticles were synthesized by using dendrimer PAMAM as inner templates. The CdS nanoparticles and glucose oxidase （GOD） were immobilized on Pt electrode via layer-by-layer （LbL） technique to fabricate a biological-inorganic hybrid system. Under ultraviolet light, the photo-effect of the CdS nanoparticles showed enhancement of the biosensor to detect glucose. Pt nanoparticles were mixed into the Nation film to immobilize the CdS/enzyme composites and to improve the charge transfer of the hybrid. Experimental results demonstrate the desirable characteristics of this biosensing system, e,g. a sensitivity of 1.83 μA/（mM cm^2）, lower detection limit （1 μM）, and acceptable reproducibility and stability,     

荧光光谱法研究G3.0 PAMAM树状大分子与牛血清白蛋白的相互作用

聚酰胺-胺型(PAMAM)树状大分子是一类新型的纳米级、球型、高度分支、单分散性的聚合物,并具有安全、低毒、无免疫原性等许多独特的生物学性质。正是由于这些优势使其有望成为一种新型有效的生物材料,用于作为寡核苷酸的转运因子和药物转运载体。因此,深入了解树状大分子的生物学性质对进一步研究其在治疗方面的应用是至关重要的。文章应用荧光光谱法在生理条件下研究了具有表面氨基的3.0代聚酰胺-胺型(G3.0 PAMAM)树状大分子与牛血清白蛋白(BSA)间的相互作用。结果表明,加入G3.0 PAMAM树状大分子后,BSA内源性荧光发生猝灭,其猝灭机制属于静态猝灭,符合Stern-Volmer方程。通过计算得到该树状大分子与BSA间的结合常数为(1.067±0.025)L·mmol-1。通过同步荧光、红边激发荧光位移(REES)等方法的研究发现,树状大分子的存在会改变BSA的构象。此外还考查了体系的pH值和离子强度对该树状大分子与BSA相互作用的影响,由实验结果可推断静电作用是二者结合的主要作用机制。     

A dendrimer-based immunosensor for improved capture and detection of tumor necrosis factor-α cytokine

A dendrimer-based sandwich type enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the improved detection of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) for early diagnosis of perinatal diseases. Hydroxyl-terminated generation four poly(amidoamine) dendrimer (G4-OH) was used for the development of a solid phase bio-sensing platform. The surface of the ELISA plate was modified with polyethylene-glycol (PEG) and thiol-functionalized G4-OH was immobilized on the PEG-functionalized plate. A capture antibody was oxidized and covalently immobilized onto the dendrimer-modified ELISA plate, which provides favorable orientation for the antigen binding sites toward the analyte. The dendrimer-modified plate showed enhanced sensitivity, and the detection limit for TNF-α was found to be 0.48 pg mL⁻¹, which is significantly better than the commercially available ELISA kit. The selectivity of the dendrimer-modified ELISA plate was further evaluated with a mixture of cytokines, which showed results for similar to that of TNF-α alone. The modified plate provides a greater opportunity for the detection of a wide range of cytokines and biomarkers.     

Interactions between PAMAM−NH2 and 6-Mercaptopurine: Qualitative and Quantitative NMR studies

Despite being used as an anti-leukemic drug, the poor solubility of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) limits its use in topical and parenteral applications. Dendrimers are commonly used as drug carriers to improve their solubility in aqueous solution. In this work, the interactions between 6-MP and the amine-terminated poly(amidoamine) dendrimers (PAMAM−NH₂) were investigated by various NMR technology. The chemical shift titrations disclosed that the 6-MP interacted with the surface of PAMAM−NH₂ mainly through electrostatics. The determination of diffusion coefficient and relaxation measurements further confirmed the presence of interactions in 6-MP/PAMAM−NH₂ complexes. In addition, the encapsulation of 6-MP within the cavity of PAMAM−NH₂ was revealed through nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy and Saturation Transfer Double Difference analysis. Finally, the binding strength (H-8 is 100% and H-2 is 70%) of 6-MP to PAMAM−NH₂ was quantitatively expressed using epitope maps. This study provides a systematic methodology for qualitative and quantitative studies of the interactions between dendrimers and drug molecules in general.     

Colorimetric Determination of Polyamidoamine Dendrimers and their Derivates using a Simple and Rapid Ninhydrin Assay

Abstract

A simple, accurate and rapid colorimetric method using ninhydrin reagent was developed for the determination of polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers (G4, G5, and G6) and their derivates in aqueous medium. This method was based on the interaction of the primary amino group of PAMAM dendrimers with ninhydrin reagent to form a blue‐colored product with λ_max at 570 nm. Beer's law was obeyed in the concentration range of 25–200 µg/ml of all the three investigated PAMAM dendrimers. The effects of experimental parameters such as reagent concentration and reaction time were studied to optimize the colorimetric method. Accuracy and precision of the colorimetric method were assessed by statistical analysis. Acetylated G5 PAMAM dendrimers with various acetylated rates were simultaneously measured by the described ninhydrin assay and NMR studies and the data obtained by the two methods approximately accorded with each other. Results showed that the suggested procedures were suitable for the determination of PAMAM dendrimers and their derivates in aqueous solutions with satisfactory accuracy and precision.     

Decomposition of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers under O2 plasma conditions

Results of FTIR and XPS measurements of bulk and γ-Al₂O₃-supported fourth generation hydroxyl-terminated (G4OH) poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers during O₂ plasma treatment at room temperature indicate that such treatment can effectively decompose the structure of the dendrimer. No new functionalities appear in the dendrimer structure during such treatment, but instead fragmentation of this structure is taking place. The dendrimer backbone likely disintegrates into small molecules (i.e., NO_x, CO, CO₂) which in the case of the supported dendrimers interact with the γ-Al₂O₃ support and form surface nitrate and carboxy species. Subsequent treatment in H₂ at 300 °C leads to the complete removal of the nitrogen-containing species from the surface of γ-Al₂O₃. However, carbon-containing species still remain on the surface in relatively small amounts. Finally, XRD measurements further show that the crystallinity of the support is not affected substantially by the O₂ plasma treatment.
