Problems solved by technology

Drugs used in antisense and gene therapies are relatively large hydrophilic polymers and are frequently highly negatively charged as well.
However, in vivo delivery of polynucleotides is complicated by toxicity, serum interactions, and poor targeting of transfection reagents that are effective in vitro.
Transfection reagents that work well in vitro, cationic polymers and lipids, typically destabilize cell membranes and form large particles.
These properties render transfection reagents ineffective or toxic in vivo.
Cationic charge results in interaction with serum components, which causes destabilization of the polynucleotide-transfection reagent interaction and poor bioavailability and targeting.
Cationic charge may also lead to in vivo toxicity.
Membrane activity of transfection reagent, which can be effective in vitro, often leads to toxicity in vivo.
Cationic charge on in vivo transfection complexes leads to adverse serum interactions and therefore poor bioavailability.
Further, these electrostatic complexes tend to aggregate or fall apart when exposed to physiological salt concentrations or serum components.
Finally, transfection complexes that are effective in vitro are often toxic in vivo.

Polynucleotide Synthesis and Assembly

[0169]The following synthetic RNA oligonucleotides (Dharmacon, Lafayette Colo.) were used. Sense strand RNAs contained a primary amine with a six carbon spacer at the 5′ to allow conjugation to the delivery vehicle. The 2′ACE protected RNA oligonucleotides were deprotected prior to the annealing step according to the manufacturer's instructions. The siRNAs had the following sequences:

Poly(Vinyl Ether) Random Copolymers

[0171]A. Synthesis of a vinyl ether monomer. 2-Vinyloxy Ethyl Phthalimide was prepared via reacting 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether (25 g, 0.24 mol) and potassium phthalimide (25 g, 0.135 mol) in 100° C. DMF(75 ml) using tetra n-butyl ammonium bromide (0.5 g) as the phase transfer catalyst. This solution was heated for 6 h and then crashed out in water and filtered. This solid was then recrystallized twice from methanol to give white crystals.

B. Amine+lower alkyl poly(vinyl ether) polymers. A series of copolymers was synthesized from vinylether monomers with varying alkyl to amine group ratios and with alkyl groups having from one to four carbons (FIG. 1, R and R′ may be the same or different). Membrane activity was dependent on the size (alkyl chain length) and ratio of hydrophobic monomers (Wakefield 2005). Propyl and butyl-derived polymers were found to be membrane lytic using model liposomes while methyl and ethyl containing polymers were not. We ter...

Masking Agents

[0176]A. Synthesis of 2-propionic-3-methylmaleic anhydride (carboxydimethylmaleic anhydride or CDM). To a suspension of sodium hydride (0.58 g, 25 mmol) in 50 ml anhydrous tetrahydrofuran was added triethyl-2-phosphonopropionate (7.1 g, 30 mmol). After evolution of hydrogen gas had stopped, dimethyl-2-oxoglutarate (3.5 g, 20 mmol) in 10 ml anhydrous tetrahydrofuran was added and stirred for 30 min. Water, 10 ml, was then added and the tetrahydrofuran was removed by rotary evaporation. The resulting solid and water mixture was extracted with 3×50 ml ethyl ether. The ether extractions were combined, dried with magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to a light yellow oil. The oil was purified by silica gel chromatography elution with 2:1 ether:hexane to yield 4 g (82% yield) of pure triester. The 2-propionic-3-methylmaleic anhydride was then formed by dissolving of this triester into 50 ml of a 50 / 50 mixture of water and ethanol containing 4.5 g (5 equivalents) of potassium ...

Abstract

The present invention is directed to membrane active polymers useful for cellular delivery of compounds. Described are polyconjugates systems that incorporate targeting, anti-opsonization, anti-aggregation, and transfection activities into small biocompatible in vivo delivery conjugates. The use of reversible modification provides for physiologically responsive activity modulation.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 11 / 840,468, filed Aug. 17, 2007, and claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 988,877, filed Nov. 19, 2007, application Ser. No. 11 / 840,468 claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 915,868, filed May 3, 2007 and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 822,833, filed Aug. 18, 2006.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The delivery of polynucleotide and other membrane impermeable compounds into living cells is highly restricted by the complex membrane systems of the cell. Drugs used in antisense and gene therapies are relatively large hydrophilic polymers and are frequently highly negatively charged as well. Both of these physical characteristics preclude their direct diffusion across the cell membrane. For this reason, the major barrier to polynucleotide delivery is the delivery of the polynucleotide to the cellular interior. Numerous transfection r...
