Designing effective drug nanocarriers that are easy to synthesize, robust, and nontoxic is a significant challenge in nanomedicine. Polyamine-multivalent molecule nanocomplexes are promising drug carriers due to their simple and all-aqueous manufacturing process. However, these systems can present issues of colloidal instability over time and cellular toxicity due to the cationic polymer. In this study, we finely modulate the formation parameters of poly(allylamine-tripolyphosphate) complexes to jointly optimize the robustness and safety. Polyallylamine was ionically assembled with tripolyphosphate anions to form liquid-like nanocomplexes with a size of around 200 nm and a zeta potential of -30 mV. We found that nanocomplexes exhibit tremendous long-term stability (9 months of storage) in colloidal dispersion and that they are suitable as protein-loading agents. Moreover, the formation of nanocomplexes induced by tripolyphosphate anions produces a switch-off in the toxicity of the system by altering the overall charge from positive to negative. In addition, we demonstrate that nanocomplexes can be internalized by bone-marrow-derived macrophage cells. Altogether, these nanocomplexes have attractive and promising properties as delivery nanoplatforms for potential therapies based on the immune system activation.
设计易于合成、稳健且无毒的有效药物纳米载体是纳米医学中的重大挑战。聚胺-多价分子纳米复合物由于其简单的全水制造工艺,是有前途的药物载体。然而,由于阳离子聚合物,这些系统可能会随着时间的推移出现胶体不稳定性和细胞毒性问题。在这项研究中,我们精细地调节聚(烯丙胺-三聚磷酸盐)复合物的形成参数,以共同优化其稳健性和安全性。聚烯丙胺与三聚磷酸盐阴离子离子组装,形成尺寸约为 200nm 且 ζ 电位为-30mV 的液态纳米复合物。我们发现纳米复合物在胶体分散体中具有巨大的长期稳定性(9 个月的储存),并且适合作为蛋白质负载剂。此外,三聚磷酸盐阴离子诱导纳米复合物的形成通过将总电荷从正变为负来改变系统的毒性,从而产生关闭效应。此外,我们证明纳米复合物可以被骨髓来源的巨噬细胞细胞内化。总之,这些纳米复合物作为基于免疫系统激活的潜在治疗的递药纳米平台具有吸引人的有前途的性质。
