Biological Activity
| Targets | DSPE phospholipid for synthesis of lipid carrier |
| ln Vitro | Despite the therapeutic promise of phospholipid-based nanocarriers, a major obstacle to their widespread clinical translation is a susceptibility to fatty acid ester hydrolysis, leading to lack of quality control and inconsistencies in self-assembly formulations. Using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry fragmentation in combination with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, we have demonstrated a method to detect hydrolysis of one or both of the fatty acid esters in a PEGylated phospholipid, DSPE-PEG, in conditions commonly applied during nanocarrier production. Because such carriers are increasingly being used to deliver peptide-based therapeutics, we further investigated the hydrolysis of phospholipid esters in conditions used for solid-phase peptide synthesis and high-performance liquid chromatography of peptides. We ultimately detail a synthetic strategy to reliably produce pure phospholipid-peptide bioconjugates (peptide amphiphiles), while avoiding unintended or unnoticed hydrolyzed byproducts that could lead to polymorphic nanotherapeutics with dampened therapeutic efficacy. We believe that such an approach could help standardize phospholipid-peptide-based therapeutic development, testing, and clinical translation. [1] |

| Additional Infomation | Immunoliposomes (antibody-directed liposomes) were used in the present study for delivery of the antineoplastic agent daunomycin to the rat brain. A coupling procedure was introduced, which allows conjugation of a thiolated antibody to maleimide-grafted 85-nm liposomes sterically stabilized with PEG. Antibody was thereby coupled to the terminal end of a PEG-conjugated linker lipid. No brain uptake of PEG-conjugated liposomes carrying [3H]daunomycin was observed. However, brain targeting of immunoliposomes carrying [3H]daunomycin was mediated by the OX26 monoclonal antibody to the rat transferrin receptor, which is selectively enriched at the brain microvascular endothelium that comprises the blood-brain barrier in vivo. Coupling of 30 OX26 antibodies per liposome resulted in optimal brain delivery. Saturation of delivery was observed at higher antibody densities. Determination of brain levels of immunoliposomes over 24 h revealed that immunoliposomes accumulate in brain tissue. Brain targeting of immunoliposomes was not observed in immunoliposomes conjugated with a mouse IgG2a isotype control. In addition, coinjection of free OX26 saturated plasma clearance of immunoliposomes. Since a single liposome may carry > or = 10,000 drug molecules, the use of PEG-conjugated immunoliposomes increases the drug carrying capacity of the monoclonal antibody by up to 4 logarithmic orders in magnitude. In summary, specific OX26-mediated targeting of daunomycin to the rat brain was achieved by the use of an immunoliposome-based drug delivery system. [1] |
