Abstract

A laminated device comprising of polyanhydrides as isolating layers and pH-sensitive complexes as protein-loaded layers was designed to deliver proteins in a pulsatile manner. Poly(sebacic anhydride)-b-polyethylene glycol (PSA-b-PEG) and poly(trimellitylimidoglycine-co-sebacic anhydride)-b-polyethylene glycol (P(TMA-gly-co-SA)-b-PEG) were synthesized as isolating layers for their good processing properties at room temperature and suitable erosion duration. During the erosion period, pH of the dissolution fluid decreases to a low value (3.8-5.8). Poly(methacrylic acid)/polyethoxazoline (PMAA/PEOx) complex was used as protein-loaded layers, which could dissociate and release model proteins, Myoglobin (Mb) and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA), at pH 7.4 while become stable and retained the drugs below pH 5.0. The protein release from the device showed a typical pulsatile fashion. The lag time prior to the pulsatile protein release correlated with the hydrolytic duration of the polyanhydrides, which varied from 30 to 165 h by selecting polyanhydride type and isolating layer thickness. In addition, the pulse duration could be adjusted from 18.5 to 40 h by varying the mass of the complex. The results can be attributed to the synergistic effects between the degrading polyanhydrides, pH-sensitive complexes and proteins.

Assessment of 4-nitro-1,8-naphthalic anhydride reductase activity in homogenates of bakers' yeast by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.

A simple reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of yield and conversion ratio of 4-nitro-1,8-naphthalic anhydride to 4-amino-1,8-naphthalic anhydride following incubation with a crude bakers' yeast homogenate. The analytes were separated on a C18 column in gradient mode. The detection limit of 4-amino-1,8-naphthalic anhydride is 10ng/microl when using a 10microl sample injection volume. The nitroreductase activity in the homogenate system can be assessed during the bioconversion process. The method can be used for the simultaneous detection of 4-hydroxylamino-1,8-naphthalic anhydride, an intermediate with limited stability.

Mechanism for catechol ring cleavage by non-heme iron intradiol dioxygenases: a hybrid DFT study.

The mechanism of the catalytic reaction of protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase (3,4-PCD), a representative intradiol dioxygenase, was studied with the hybrid density functional method B3LYP. First, a smaller model involving only the iron first-shell ligands (His460, His462, and Tyr408) and the substrates (catechol and dioxygen) was used to probe various a priori plausible reaction mechanisms. Then, an extended model involving also the most important second-shell groups (Arg457, Gln477, and Tyr479) was used for the refinement of the preselected mechanisms. The computational results suggest that the chemical reactions constituting the catalytic cycle of intradiol dioxygenases involve: (1) binding of the substrate as a dianion, in agreement with experimental suggestions, (2) binding of dioxygen to the metal aided by an electron transfer from the substrate to O(2), (3) formation of a bridging peroxo intermediate and its conformational change, which opens the coordination site trans to His462, (4) binding of a neutral XOH ligand (H(2)O or Tyr447) at the open site, (5) proton transfer from XOH to the neighboring peroxo ligand yielding the hydroperoxo intermediate, (6) a Criegee rearrangement leading to the anhydride intermediate, and (7) hydrolysis of the anhydride to the final acyclic product. One of the most important results obtained is that the Criegee mechanism requires an in-plane orientation of the four atoms (two oxygen and two carbon atoms) mainly involved in the reaction. This orientation yields a good overlap between the two sigma orbitals involved, C-C sigma and O-O sigma, allowing an efficient electron flow between them. Another interesting result is that under some conditions, a homolytic O-O bond cleavage might compete with the Criegee rearrangement. The role of the second-shell residues and the substituent effects are also discussed.
