Zwitterionic polymers have been found to be biocompatible alternatives to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) for conjugation to proteins. This work reports the site-selective conjugation of poly(caprolactone-carboxybetaine) (pCLZ) to human growth hormone receptor antagonist (GHA) B2036-alkyne and investigation of safety, activity, and pharmacokinetics. Azide-end-functionalized pCLZs were synthesized and conjugated to GHA B2036-alkyne via copper-catalyzed click reaction. The resulting inhibitory bioactivity concentration responses in Ba/F3-GHR cells were compared to those of PEGylated GHA B2036. IgG and IgM antibody production was tested in mice, and no measurable antibody or cytokine production was detected for the pCLZ conjugate. Using 18F-labeled PET/CT imaging, the pCLZ conjugate showed an increase in circulation time compared to that of GHA B2036. Acute toxicity of the polymer was investigated in vivo and found to be nontoxic. Ex vivo degradation of the polymer on the conjugate was investigated. The results suggest that pCLZ-GHA is a potentially safe alternative to PEG-GHA.
期刊介绍:
Biomacromolecules is a leading forum for the dissemination of cutting-edge research at the interface of polymer science and biology. Submissions to Biomacromolecules should contain strong elements of innovation in terms of macromolecular design, synthesis and characterization, or in the application of polymer materials to biology and medicine.
Topics covered by Biomacromolecules include, but are not exclusively limited to: sustainable polymers, polymers based on natural and renewable resources, degradable polymers, polymer conjugates, polymeric drugs, polymers in biocatalysis, biomacromolecular assembly, biomimetic polymers, polymer-biomineral hybrids, biomimetic-polymer processing, polymer recycling, bioactive polymer surfaces, original polymer design for biomedical applications such as immunotherapy, drug delivery, gene delivery, antimicrobial applications, diagnostic imaging and biosensing, polymers in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, polymeric scaffolds and hydrogels for cell culture and delivery.
