Next Generation Precision-Polyesters Enabling Optimization of Ligand–Receptor Stoichiometry for Modular Drug Delivery

Abstract: The success of receptor-mediated drug delivery primarily depends on the ability to optimize ligand-receptor stoichiometry. Conventional polyesters such as polylactide (PLA) or its copolymer, polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA), do not allow such optimization due to their terminal functionality. We herein report the synthesis of 12 variations of the PLA-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) based precision-polyester (P2s) platform, permitting 5-12 periodically spaced carboxyl functional groups on the polymer backbone. These … Show more

“…In brief, polymers with or without GA conjugation were first prepared. Assembly of polymers into nanoparticles and the concurrent encapsulation of UA were accomplished using the oil-in-water emulsification method (19). The amount and efficiency of UA encapsulation were determined by LC-MS. Nanoparticle particle size and shape were evaluated by dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy.…”

“…Our laboratory also observed that the ligand-receptor stoichiometry plays an important role in receptor-mediated drug delivery. Optimized ligand-receptor stoichiometry has been achieved through multiple coupling sites in newly formed polyester, which showed enhanced uptake and efficient drug delivery compared with benchmarking control, GA modified poly (lactic-coglycolic acid) (Ganugula, et al, 2017b). It will be interesting to see if the improved bioavailability will subsequently lead to improved clinical outcomes, in particular chronic conditions on oral dosing.…”
