TY - THES A1 - Beudert, Matthias T1 - Bioinspired Modification and Functionalization of Hydrogels for Applications in Biomedicine T1 - Biologisch-inspirierte Modifizierung und Funktionalisierung von Hydrogelen für Anwendungen in der Biomedizin N2 - Over the years, hydrogels have been developed and used for a huge variety of different applications ranging from drug delivery devices to medical products. In this thesis, a poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) (POx) / poly(2-n-propyl-2-oxazine) (POzi) bioink was modified and analyzed for the use in biofabrication and targeted drug delivery. In addition, the protein fibrinogen (Fbg) was genetically modified for an increased stability towards plasmin degradation for its use as wound sealant. In Chapter 1, a thermogelling, printable POx/POzi-based hydrogel was modified with furan and maleimide moieties in the hydrophilic polymer backbone facilitating post-printing maturation of the constructs via Diels-Alder chemistry. The modification enabled long-term stability of the hydrogel scaffolds in aqueous solutions which is necessary for applications in biofabrication or tissue engineering. Furthermore, we incorporated RGD-peptides into the hydrogel which led to cell adhesion and elongated morphology of fibroblast cells seeded on top of the scaffolds. Additional printing experiments demonstrate that the presented POx/POzi system is a promising platform for the use as a bioink in biofabrication. Chapter 2 highlights the versatility of the POx/POzi hydrogels by adapting the system to a use in targeted drug delivery. We used a bioinspired approach for a bioorthogonal conjugation of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) to the polymer using an omega-chain-end dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) modification and a matrix metalloprotease-sensitive peptide linker. This approach enabled a bioresponsive release of IGF-I from hydrogels as well as spatial control over the protein distribution in 3D printed constructs which makes the system a candidate for the use in personalized medicine. Chapter 3 gives a general overview over the necessity of wound sealants and the current generations of fibrin sealants on the market including advantages and challenges. Furthermore, it highlights trends and potential new strategies to tackle current problems and broadens the toolbox for future generations of fibrin sealants. Chapter 4 applies the concepts of recombinant protein expression and molecular engineering to a novel generation of fibrin sealants. In a proof-of-concept study, we developed a new recombinant fibrinogen (rFbg) expression protocol and a Fbg mutant that is less susceptible to plasmin degradation. Targeted lysine of plasmin cleavage sites in Fbg were exchanged with alanine or histidine in different parts of the molecule. The protein was recombinantly produced and restricted plasmin digest was analyzed using high resolution mass spectrometry. In addition to that, we developed a novel time resolved screening protocol for the detection of new potential plasmin cleavage sites for further amino acid exchanges in the fibrin sealant. N2 - Hydrogele wurden im Laufe der Jahre für eine Vielzahl von Anwendungen, von der Verabreichung von Medikamenten bis hin zu medizinischen Produkten, entwickelt und eingesetzt. In dieser Arbeit wurde eine Poly(2-methyl-2-oxazolin) POx) / Poly(2-n-propyl-2- oxazin) (POzi) Biotinte modifiziert und für den Einsatz in der Biofabrikation und für die gezielte Verabreichung von Medikamenten analysiert. Außerdem wurde das Protein Fibrinogen (Fbg) gentechnisch verändert, um seine Stabilität gegenüber dem Plasminabbau in seiner Funktion als Wundkleber zu erhöhen In Kapitel 1 wurde ein thermogelierendes, druckbares Hydrogel auf POx/POzi-Basis mit Furan- und Maleimid-Funktionen im hydrophilen Polymerrückgrat modifiziert, was die Reifung der Konstrukte nach dem Druck durch Diels-Alder-Chemie bewirkt. Die Modifizierung ermöglichte eine langfristige Stabilität der Hydrogele in wässrigen Lösungen, was für Anwendungen im Bereich der Biofabrikation oder im Tissue Engineering erforderlich ist. Darüber hinaus haben wir RGD-Peptide in das Hydrogel integriert, was zur Zelladhäsion und einer verlängerten Morphologie von Fibroblasten, die auf den Gelen ausgesät wurden, führte. Weitere Druckexperimente zeigen außerdem, dass das POx/POzi-System eine vielversprechende Plattform für den Einsatz als Biotinte in der Biofabrikation ist. Kapitel 2 unterstreicht die Vielseitigkeit der POx/POzi-Hydrogele, indem das System für die gezielte Abgabe von Medikamenten angepasst wird. Wir verwendeten einen von der Natur inspirierten Ansatz für eine biorthogonale Konjugation vom Insuline-like Growth Factor I (IGF- I) an das Polymer unter Verwendung einer Dibenzocyclooctin-Modifikation des Polymers am Ende der Omega-Kette und eines Matrix-Metalloproteasen-empfindlichen Peptid-Linkers. Dieser Ansatz ermöglichte eine bioresponsive Freisetzung von IGF-I aus Hydrogelen sowie eine räumliche Kontrolle über die Proteinverteilung in 3D-gedruckten Konstrukten, was das System zu einem Kandidaten für den Einsatz in der personalisierten Medizin macht. Kapitel 3 gibt einen allgemeinen Überblick über die Notwendigkeit von Wundversiegelungsmitteln und die derzeit auf dem Markt befindlichen Generationen von Fibrinklebern einschließlich der Vorteile und Herausforderungen. Darüber hinaus werden Trends und potenzielle neue Strategien zur Lösung aktueller Probleme und zur Erweiterung der Toolbox für künftige Generationen von Fibrinklebern aufgezeigt. In Kapitel 4 werden die Konzepte der rekombinanten Proteinexpression und des Molecular Engineering auf eine neue Generation von Fibrin Wundklebern angewandt. In einer Proof-of- Concept-Studie haben wir ein neues rekombinantes Fbg Expressionsprotokoll und eine Fbg Mutante entwickelt, die weniger anfällig für einen Abbau durch Plasmin ist. Gezielte Lysine in Plasmin-Schnittstellen in Fbg wurde entweder durch Alanin oder Histidin in unterschiedlichen Teilen des Moleküls ausgetauscht. Das Protein wurde rekombinant hergestellt und eine verminderte Schnittrate wurde mittels hochauflösender Massenspektrometrie gezeigt. Zusätzlich haben wir ein neues zeitaufgelöstes Screening-Protokoll entwickelt, mit dem sich neue potenzielle Plasmin-Spaltstellen für weitere Aminosäurenaustausche in Fibrin-Klebern auflösen lassen.

Using a chronic azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis model resembling ulcerative colitis, we evaluated whether and when treatment with the Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor tofacitinib could be curative. Comparing the treatment with two and three cycles of tofacitinib medication in drinking water – intermittently with DSS induction – revealed that two cycles were not only sufficient but also superior over the 3-x regimen. The two cycles of the 2-x protocol paralleled the second and third cycles of the longer protocol. T cells were less able to express interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and the serum levels of IFN-γ, interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6, IL-17, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) were significantly reduced in sera, while those of IL-10 and IL-22 increased under the 2-x protocol. Likewise, the frequency and effector phenotype of regulatory T cells (Tregs) increased. This was accompanied by normal weight gain, controlled clinical scores, and restored stool consistency. The general and histologic appearance of the colons revealed healing and tissue intactness. Importantly, two phases of tofacitinib medication completely prevented AOM-incited pseudopolyps and the hyper-proliferation of epithelia, which was in contrast to the 3-x regimen. This implies that the initial IBD-induced cytokine expression is not necessarily harmful as long as inflammatory signaling can later be suppressed and that time-restricted treatment allows for anti-inflammatory and tissue-healing cytokine activities.

JF - European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences N2 - The binding of drugs to plasma proteins is an important process in the human body and has a significant influence on pharmacokinetic parameter. Human serum albumin (HSA) has the most important function as a transporter protein. The binding of ketamine to HSA has already been described in literature, but only of the racemate. The enantiomerically pure S-ketamine is used as injection solution for induction of anesthesia and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the therapy of severe depression as a nasal spray in 2019. The question arises if there is enantioselective binding to HSA. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate whether there is enantioselective binding of S-and R-ketamine to HSA or not. Ultrafiltration (UF) followed by chiral capillary electrophoretic analysis was used to determine the extent of protein binding. Bound fraction to HSA was 71.2 % and 64.9 % for enantiomerically pure R- and S-ketamine, respectively, and 66.5 % for the racemate. Detailed binding properties were studied by Saturation Transfer Difference (STD)-, waterLOGSY- and Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG)-NMR spectroscopy. With all three methods, the aromatic ring and the N-methyl group could be identified as the structural moieties most strongly involved in binding of ketamine to HSA. pK\(_{aff}\) values determined using UF and NMR indicate that ketamine is a weak affinity ligand to HSA and no significant differences in binding behavior were found between the individual enantiomers and the racemate.

Abstract The macrophage infectivity potentiator (Mip) protein belongs to the immunophilin superfamily. This class of enzymes catalyzes the interconversion between the cis and trans configuration of proline-containing peptide bonds. Mip has been shown to be important for the virulence of a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms, including the Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. Small molecules derived from the natural product rapamycin, lacking its immunosuppression-inducing moiety, inhibit Mip's peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) activity and lead to a reduction in pathogen load in vitro. Here, a fluorescence polarization assay (FPA) to enable the screening and effective development of BpMip inhibitors was established. A fluorescent probe was prepared, derived from previous pipecolic scaffold Mip inhibitors labeled with fluorescein. This probe showed moderate affinity for BpMip and enabled a highly robust FPA suitable for screening large compound libraries with medium- to high-throughput (Z factor ∼ 0.89) to identify potent new inhibitors. The FPA results are consistent with data from the protease-coupled PPIase assay. Analysis of the temperature dependence of the probe's binding highlighted that BpMip's ligand binding is driven by enthalpic rather than entropic effects. This has considerable consequences for the use of low-temperature kinetic assays.

It is a commonly used essential original traditional medicine. By applying a newly developed quantitative \(^1\)H NMR (qNMR) spectroscopy method for quality assessment, a simultaneous determination of the saponification value (SV), acid value (AV), ester value (EV), and iodine value (IV) in RFO was possible. Dimethyl sulfone (DMSO\(_2\)) was used as an internal standard. Optimization of NMR parameters, such as NMR pulse sequence, relaxation delay time, and receiver gain, finally established the \(^1\)H NMR-based quantification approach. Diagnostic signals of the internal standard at δ = 2.98 ppm, SV at δ = 2.37–2.20 ppm, AV at δ = 2.27–2.20 ppm, EV at δ = 2.37–2.27 ppm, and IV at δ = 5.37–5.27 ppm, respectively, were used for quantitative analysis. The method was validated concerning linearity (R\(^2\) = 0.999), precision (less than 0.83%), and repeatability in the range 99.17–101.17%. Furthermore, this method was successfully applied to crude RFO, crude RFO with palmitic and oleic acid addition, and nine commercial products. The qNMR results for the respective fat values are in accordance with the results of standard methods, as can be seen from the F- and t-test (< 1.65 and < 1.66, respectively). The fundamental advantages of qNMR, such as its rapidity and simplicity, make it a feasible and existing alternative to titration for the quality control of RFO.

For the method development, first different native and modified cyclodextrins were tested. The most promising chiral selector was α-cyclodextrin. A design of experiments (DoE) was carried out, which started with the screening of relevant factors. Based on these results, the method was optimized according to the significant factors (buffer, cyclodextrin concentration, pH value, voltage, temperature) of the screening based on the response resolution and migration time of the later migrating enantiomer. The optimized conditions consisted of a background electrolyte with 275 mM TRIS, adjusted with 85% phosphoric acid to a pH of 2.50, and 50 mM α-cyclodextrin, at a temperature of 15 °C, an applied voltage of 30 kV and an injection pressure of 1.0 psi for 10 s. A fused-silica capillary with a total length of 70 cm and an effective length to the detector of 60 cm was used. The method was validated according to ICH guideline Q2 R(1). The limit of quantification was 3.51 µg mL\(^{−1}\) for S-ketamine and 3.98 µg mL\(^{−1}\)for R-ketamine. The method showed good linearity for racemic ketamine with R\(^2\) of 0.9995 for S-ketamine and 0.9994 for R-ketamine. The lowest quantifiable content of S-ketamine found in R-ketamine was 0.45%.

The objective was therefore to propose a robust liquid chromatography method with charged aerosol detection for the analysis of polysorbate 80 (PS80) and magnesium stearate. FAs with different numbers of carbon atoms in the chain necessitated the use of a gradient method with a Hypersil Gold C\(_{18}\) column and acetonitrile as organic modifier. The risk-based Analytical Quality by Design approach was applied to define the Method Operable Design Region (MODR). Formic acid concentration, initial and final percentages of acetonitrile, gradient elution time, column temperature, and mobile phase flow rate were identified as critical method parameters (CMPs). The initial and final percentages of acetonitrile were fixed while the remaining CMPs were fine-tuned using response surface methodology. Critical method attributes included the baseline separation of adjacent peaks (α-linolenic and myristic acid, and oleic and petroselinic acid) and the retention factor of the last compound eluted, stearic acid. The MODR was calculated by Monte Carlo simulations with a probability equal or greater than 90%. Finally, the column temperature was set at 33 °C, the flow rate was 0.575 mL/min, and acetonitrile linearly increased from 70 to 80% (v/v) within 14.2 min.

FRET sensors based on muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) have been employed to study dual-steric ligands, allowing for the detection of different kinetics and distinguishing between partial, full, and super agonism. Herein, we report the synthesis of the two series of bitopic ligands, 12-Cn and 13-Cn, and their pharmacological investigation at the M\(_1\), M\(_2\), M\(_4\), and M\(_5\) FRET-based receptor sensors. The hybrids were prepared by merging the pharmacophoric moieties of the M\(_1\)/M\(_4\)-preferring orthosteric agonist Xanomeline 10 and the M\(_1\)-selective positive allosteric modulator 77-LH-28-1 (1-[3-(4-butyl-1-piperidinyl)propyl]-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone) 11. The two pharmacophores were connected through alkylene chains of different lengths (C3, C5, C7, and C9). Analyzing the FRET responses, the tertiary amine compounds 12-C5, 12-C7, and 12-C9 evidenced a selective activation of M\(_1\) mAChRs, while the methyl tetrahydropyridinium salts 13-C5, 13-C7, and 13-C9 showed a degree of selectivity for M\(_1\) and M\(_4\) mAChRs. Moreover, whereas hybrids 12-Cn showed an almost linear response at the M\(_1\) subtype, hybrids 13-Cn evidenced a bell-shaped activation response. This different activation pattern suggests that the positive charge anchoring the compound 13-Cn to the orthosteric site ensues a degree of receptor activation depending on the linker length, which induces a graded conformational interference with the binding pocket closure. These bitopic derivatives represent novel pharmacological tools for a better understanding of ligand-receptor interactions at a molecular level.

The problem statement of this work involves a pharmaceutical development perspective, the physicochemical basis of the absorption process and physiological / biopharmaceutical aspects. A methodology was developed aiming at closing the gap between drug liberation and dissolution on the one hand and the appearance of drug in the blood on the other. Considering what is out of control from a formulation development perspective, a clear differentiation between bioavailability and bioaccessibility was necessary. Focusing on the absorption process, bioaccessibility of a model compound, a poorly soluble but well permeable weak base, was characterized by means of flux across artificial biomimetic membranes. Such setups can be considered to reasonably mimic relevant oral absorption resistances in vitro in terms of diffusion through an unstirred water layer (UWL) and a lipidic barrier. Mechanistic understanding of the driving force for permeation was gained by differentiating drug species and subsequently linking them to the observed transfer rates using a bioaccessibility concept. The three key species that need to be differentiated are molecularly dissolved drug, drug associated in solution with other components (liquid reservoir) and undissolved drug (solid reservoir). An innovative approach to differentiate molecularly dissolved drug from the liquid reservoir using ultracentrifugation in combination with dynamic light scattering as control is presented. A guidance for rational formulation development of PWSDs is elaborated based on the employed model compound. It is structured into five guiding questions to help drug formulation scientists in selecting drug form, excipients and eventually the formulation principle. Overall, the relevance but also limitations of characterizing bioaccessibility were outlined with respect to practical application e.g. in early drug formulation development. N2 - Eine geringe und variable orale Bioverfügbarkeit gibt Anlass zu grosser Besorgnis hinsichtlich Sicherheit und Wirksamkeit einer Behandlung von Patienten mit schwer wasserlöslichen Arzneimitteln. Die Problemstellung dieser Arbeit umfasst eine pharmazeutische Entwicklungsperspektive, die physikalisch-chemischen Grundlagen des Absorptionsprozesses und physiologische / biopharmazeutische Aspekte. Es wurde eine Methodik entwickelt, die darauf abzielt, die Lücke zwischen der Wirkstofffreisetzung und -auflösung einerseits und dem Auftreten des Wirkstoffs im Blut andererseits zu schließen. Angesichts dessen, was aus Sicht der Formulierungsentwicklung nicht beeinflusst werden kann, war eine klare Unterscheidung zwischen Bioverfügbarkeit und Biozugänglichkeit notwendig. Mit Fokus auf den Absorptionsprozess wurde die Biozugänglichkeit eines Modellwirkstoffes, einer schlecht löslichen aber gut permeablen schwachen Base, mittels Massentransportexperimente durch künstliche biomimetische Membranen charakterisiert. Es kann davon ausgegangen werden, dass solche Anordnungen relevante orale Absorptionswiderstände hinsichtlich der Diffusion durch eine ungerührte Wasserschicht und eine Lipidbarriere in vitro nachahmen. Durch die Differenzierung der Wirkstoffspezies und die anschliessende Verknüpfung mit den beobachteten Transportraten mittels eines Biozugänglichkeitskonzepts wurde ein mechanistisches Verständnis der treibenden Kraft für die Permeation gewonnen. Die drei Schlüsselspezies, die unterschieden werden müssen, sind molekular gelöste Substanz, in Lösung mit anderen Bestandteilen assoziierte Substanz (flüssiges Reservoir) und ungelöste Substanz (festes Reservoir). Ein innovativer Ansatz zur Differenzierung zwischen molekular gelöstem Wirkstoff und Substanz in dem Flüssigkeitsreservoir unter Verwendung von Ultrazentrifugation in Kombination mit dynamischer Lichtstreuung als Kontrolle wird vorgestellt. Basierend auf dem verwendeten Modellwirkstoff wird eine Anleitung zur rationalen Formulierungsentwicklung von schlecht wasserlöslichen Arzneistoffen ausgearbeitet. Diese ist in fünf Leitfragen gegliedert, um Wissenschaftlern bei der Arzneimittelformulierung bei der Auswahl der Arzneimittelform, der Hilfsstoffe und schließlich des Formulierungsprinzips zu helfen. Insgesamt wurde die Relevanz, aber auch Grenzen der Charakterisierung der Biozugänglichkeit im Hinblick auf die praktische Anwendung z.B. in der frühen Entwicklung von Arzneimittelformulierungen aufgezeigt.
