目的:考察蛙凝素(Odorranalectin,OL)修饰对聚谷氨酸苄酯-聚乙二醇纳米粒(PBLG-PEG-NPs)材料的Calu-3细胞(人肺腺癌细胞)毒性和细胞摄取作用的影响。方法:碘氧化法制备蛙凝素修饰聚合物材料;以姜黄素(curcumin,Cur)为模型药物,采用乳化溶媒蒸发法制备聚谷氨酸苄酯-聚乙二醇纳米粒(PBLG-PEG-NPs)和蛙凝素修饰聚谷氨酸苄酯-聚乙二醇纳米粒(OL-PBLG-PEG-NPs);MTT法考察三种纳米粒对Calu-3的细胞毒性;采用激光共聚焦显微镜对两种纳米粒的Calu-3细胞摄取作用进行定性观察。结果:给予高浓度(2 mg·mL-1)纳米粒培养Calu-3细胞时,细胞存活率大于75%。蛙凝素修饰纳米粒后其被细胞摄取的量从62.7%增加到了81.2%。结论:OL可用于黏膜给药载体的修饰,OL-PBLG-PEG-NPs细胞毒性低、生物相容性好,有望成为一种鼻腔粘膜给药优良载体。     

An improved method for determining enantiomeric excess by 13C‐NMR in chiral liquid crystal media

By using a combination of inverse gated ¹H decoupled ¹³C‐NMR experiments 1 with short acquisition times and NMR Cryo‐probe technology, the sample requirements and experimental times necessary to accurately measure enantiomeric excess of small chiral molecules has been reduced 16‐fold. Quality ¹³C‐NMR spectra can now be obtained from a 1 to 5 mg sample in 12 minutes. The enantiomeric excess determination achieved from the average integration of all the ¹³C‐resonances in the spectrum is comparable to enantiomeric excess measured by chiral SFC. The advantage of the NMR method is that enantiomeric excess can rapidly be measured in situ on practical amounts of enantioselective reaction products without the need for chromatographic separation or chemical modification and with substantially less solvent waste.

Synthesis and ITC characterization of novel nanoparticles constituted by poly(gamma-benzyl L-glutamate)-beta-cyclodextrin

Imparting desired technological characteristics to polymeric nanoparticles requires the development of original polymers. In the present work, the synthesis and characterization of a novel PBLG-derivative, the poly(gamma-benzyl L-glutamate)-beta-cyclodextrin (PBLG-beta-CD-50), have been carried out. Nanoparticles from either PBLG-beta-CD-50 polymer or from mixtures with PBLG have been prepared using a modified nanoprecipitation method. Spherically shaped nanoparticles with diameter in the range of 50-70 nm were obtained, as determined by dynamic laser light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. The presence of a surfactant in the suspension medium had almost no influence on these parameters and was not necessary to the shelf-stability of the suspension. Further, isothermal titration microcalorimetry (ITC) experiments have been used to show unambiguously that about 20% of the cyclodextrins remain functional within the particles. Consequently, this system may be of interest when association of large amounts of hydrophobic drugs to nanoparticles is required.
