STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT
The United States government has certain rights to this invention pursuant to Grant No. DE14193 from the National Institute of Health to Northwestern University.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Protein, cell, and bacterial fouling of surfaces occur spontaneously upon exposure of medical implants and diagnostic devices to physiologic fluids and tissues. In many cases biofouling is an adverse event that can impair function or even cause catastrophic failure of medical devices. Examples of problematic biofouling include occlusion of cardiovascular implants by thrombus, protein accumulation onto biosensor surfaces, and bacterial colonization of indwelling catheters. Complications arising from fouling of medical implants and devices significantly increase the cost of healthcare delivery and can lead to reduction of implant performance, implant failure, and patient infections.
Strategies in the art for inhibiting biofouling are directed to grafting antifouling polymers or self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) onto surface. Technical issues critical to the longevity and antifouling performance of such organic coatings include the nature of the chemical bond used for anchoring such coatings onto surfaces, as well as the chemical characteristics of the polymer/SAM. Common anchoring chemistries include thiol- and silane-containing molecules on metals and metal oxides, respectively, electrostatic interactions between polyelectrolytes and charged surfaces, and numerous strategies that take advantage of reactive organic functional groups on surfaces and molecules in solution or the vapor phase. While oligoethylene glycol terminated SAMs have shown excellent antifouling properties, their stability under in-vivo conditions may be limited in certain applications. A variety of polymers have been investigated as antifouling coatings, including poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(methoxyethyl acrylate) (PMEA), poly(phosphorylcholine methacrylate), and glycomimetic polymers. Each of these polymers has met with some success in in-vitro and in-vivo antifouling tests. However, none have yet proven to be ideal for long-term prevention of protein, cell, and bacterial fouling of surfaces.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Briefly, in one aspect, the present invention comprises macromolecular, antifouling, chimeric compositions or coatings comprising a peptide or polypeptide anchor moiety or component coupled to a peptoid or polypeptoid moiety or component. A peptoid moiety of this invention is generally resistant to, or inhibits, protein adsorption or cell fouling of surfaces onto which the composition is coated or attached. Generally speaking the compositions of this invention are referred to as peptidomimetic or chimeric polymers and comprise coupled anchor and peptoid moieties of the following structure:
wherein R1 is at least one dihydroxyphenyl derivative (DHPD) alone or in combination with amine-terminated lower alkyl chains having from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms (preferably about 1 to about 7 carbon atoms). The lower alky structures of this invention may be branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated and contain minor heteroatom (generally O, N, or S,) constituents which do not materially alter the alkyl chain properties. The alkyl structure need not all have the same number of carbon atoms or the same structure. The DHPD's also may be the same or different;
R2 has at least one ether (C—O—C) linkage (multiple ether linkages are contemplated) and comprises ether-linked alkyl groups or chains, each having from 1 (i.e., CH3—O—CH2—) to about 10 carbon atoms, preferably from 1 to about 7 carbon atoms, and being uncharged, branched, unbranched, saturated or unsaturated;
n1 has a value in the range of about 1 to about 10, preferably 1 to about 8 and most preferably 2 to about 6; and
n2 has a value in the range of about 5 to about 100 or more, preferably about 8 to about 50, and more preferably about 10 to about 30.
A general preparative route for the coupled moieties of this invention, i.e., the peptidomimetic composition or coating, is shown in Scheme 1, as follows:
Scheme 1 shows the general synthetic route for peptidomimetic compositions of the invention as well as a schematic showing of a peptidomimetic coated surface (greatly magnified) of this invention.
The general design of such chimeric polymers of this invention can be described in a preferred aspect as a functional peptide domain component for robust adsorption deposition, adhesive, absorptive, or other interaction with surfaces, coupled or conjugated to an N-substituted glycine peptoid polymer component that is resistant to protein and cell fouling. The synthetic approach is versatile and allows virtually unlimited variation of composition. Modification of a variety of surfaces can be accomplished with a simple aqueous solution-based adsorption or deposition strategy. In certain embodiments, a peptidomimetic polymer of this invention can be adsorbed to, or deposited on, a metal oxide surface (e.g., titanium oxide), which in turn exhibits significantly reduced serum protein adsorption, and inhibited cell fouling for weeks, months, to several months (or longer) under in-vitro conditions.
The preferred class of anchoring peptide domain or moiety was chosen to mimic the adhesive proteins used by marine mussels to attach to underwater surfaces. Mussels are known for their ability to adhere strongly to a variety of wet surfaces, and for this purpose secrete liquid “glues” containing mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs), which rapidly harden to form a solid adhesive plaque.
In one aspect, the adhesive or anchor moiety of a composition of this invention comprises dihydroxyphenyl derivatives (DHPD) including, di-(DHPD) wherein the second DHPD is
i.e., a methylene derivative of dihydroxyphenyl. A preferred DHPD is L, 3, 4 dihydroxyphenyl alanine (DOPA) which is more completely described below.
In a further preferred practice the adhesive moiety comprises DHPD including a pendent chain comprising ethylenic or vinylic unsaturation such as, for example, an alkyl acrylate. The details of DHPDs intended to be included in this invention are set forth inter alia, in the above-referenced U.S. application Ser. No. 11/068,298, filed on Feb. 27, 2005, above incorporated by reference herein as follows:
- Yet more specifically this invention comprises dihydroxyphenyl (DHPD) adhesive compound of formula (I) wherein
- R1 and R2 may be the same or different and are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, saturated and unsaturated, branched and unbranched, substituted and unsubstituted C1-4 hydrocarbon;
- P is separately and independently selected from the group consisting of —NH2,—COOH,—OH,—SH,
- wherein R1 and R2 are defined above.
- a single bond, halogen,
- wherein A1 and A2 are separately and independently selected from the group consisting of H, a single bond;

- wherein n ranges between 1 and about 3
- and A3 is

- In one aspect the poly(alkylene oxide) has the structure
- wherein R3 and R4 are separately and independently H, or CH3 and m has a value in the range between 1 and about 250, A4 is —NH2 COOH, —OH, and —SH, —H or a protecting group.
- In a very preferred form, DHPD is

- In a further preferred form DHPD is of the structure:
- wherein A2 is —OH and A1 is substantially poly(alkylene oxide) of the structure
- R3, R4 and m being defined above. Generally speaking the poly(alkylene oxide) is a block copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide.
- These dihydroxyphenyl derivative (“DHPD”) adhesives function in an aqueous environment. To form the polymeric composition, a DHPD moiety which generally provides adhesive functionality coupled to a polymer which provides the desired surface active effect. These components will be described in more detail below.
- Adhesive Moiety
- The adhesive moiety of the present invention is a dihydroxyphenyl derivative (“DHPD”) having the following preferred structure:
- wherein R1, R2, and P are defined above and t ranges between 1 and about 10, preferably about 1 to about 5 and most preferably 1 to about 3. The DHPD adhesive can function in an aqueous environment. In this context, an aqueous environment is any medium comprising water. This includes without limitation water, including salt water and fresh water, cell and bacterial growth media solutions, aqueous buffers, other water-based solutions, and body fluids. The DHPD moiety can be derivatized. As would be understood by those skilled in the art, such derivatization is limited by the retention of the desired adhesive characteristic.
Various polymeric components providing a surface active effect and other desired characteristics will be well-known to those skilled in the art made aware of this invention. The desired surface active effect relates to reduced particulate agglomeration and anti-biofouling, including resistance to cell and/or protein adhesion. For instance, the polymer component can be water soluble, depending upon end-use application, and/or capable of micelle formation depending upon various other end-use applications. Polymers useful in the present invention include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyethylene oxide (PEO), polypropylene oxide (PPO), PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymers, polyphenylene oxide, PEG/tetraglyme, PMEMA, polyMPC, and perfluorinated-polyethers.
The polymeric compositions can be synthesized in several ways. For example, the polymeric compositions may be synthesized through a general synthetic procedure for polymer end-group activation. Various polymers or monomeric components thereof can be activated using carbonate chemistry. In particular, a succinimidyl carbonate-activated polymeric component reacted with DHPD moiety can provide a stable urethane conjugate. Two of the many possible pathways (a) and (b) in Scheme 1a and 1b, below, show coupling with a poly(alkylene oxide) in either aqueous or non-aqueous solvents, without compromising desired bio-adhesion. For instance, a DHPD residue can be coupled to a polymeric component to provide the desired conjugate composition, through either urethane or amide bond formation. These synthetic routes are shown in Scheme 1a and 1b which are discussed in greater detail below.
More particularly, if coupled to the polymeric component via urethane bond formation, a carboxylic acid group of the DHPD component can be esterified or derivatized with various other functional groups. Alternatively, the DHPD component can be coupled to a polymeric component (e.g., amidation or esterification depending on polymer end group, —H2 or —OH) providing a DHPD functionality which can be derivatized by any of numerous known protecting groups, including without limitation Boc, Fmoc, borate, phosphate, and tributyldimethylsilyl. N-group protection of a DHPD component can leave the carboxylic acid group available for multi-functional derivatization and/or a higher density of polymeric components conjugated therewith.
Accordingly, in part, the present invention is also a method of using urethane synthesis to incorporate a DHPD residue into a polymeric system. Such a method includes (1) providing a polymeric component terminating in a plurality of monomers, each having a functional end group; (2) preparing a carbonate derivative of the polymeric component; and (3) preparing a urethane moiety upon reaction of the carbonate derivative and at least one DHPD moiety. As described above, a polymeric component utilized in conjunction with this method can include those having terminal monomeric functionality reactive with a reagent providing the desired carbonate derivative and, ultimately, providing a urethane moiety coupling the polymeric and DHPD components. Various other coupling reagents and/or hydroxy-terminating polymeric components can be used to provide the desired urethane moiety.
In part, the present invention is also a method of using a carbonate intermediate to maintain catecholic functionality of a DHPD-incorporated polymeric composition and/or system, or to otherwise enhance the adhesion properties thereof. Such a method includes (1) providing a polymeric component terminating in a plurality of monomers each having a functional end group; (2) reacting the polymeric component with a reagent to provide a carbonate intermediate; and (3) reacting the carbonate intermediate with at least one DHPD moiety. Without limitation to any single theory or mode of operation, this inventive method can be considered a way enhancing the reactivity of the polymeric component end group, via a suitable carbonate intermediate. Subsequent reaction at the amino-nitrogen of DHPD moiety provides the corresponding conjugate while maintaining catecholic functionality.
In accordance with this invention, as demonstrated in Scheme 1a, various synthetic routes can be used to couple DHPD moieties to such carbonate activated intermediates, DOPA methyl ester (DME), prepared by the reaction of DOPA with methanol in the presence of thionyl chloride, can be used in organic solvents. Reaction progress can be monitored by TLC and NMR, with the coupling reaction virtually complete in one hour (with representative conjugates DME-PAO7 (from PAG PLUIRONIC ® F68)). High product yields were obtained upon purification from cold methanol.
The free carboxylic form of DOPA can be coupled with the carbonate intermediate in alkaline aqueous solution. It is well known that the chief difficulty in working with DOPA is its ease of oxidation (to DOPA-quinone and other products), which readily occurs in alkaline aqueous solutions. To prevent unwanted oxidation of DOPA catechol side chains during coupling under alkaline conditions, a borate-protected DOPA can be first formed by adding DOPA to aqueous sodium borate (Scheme 1b). The resulting complex is remarkably stable in neutral or alkaline solutions, and can be readily deprotected under acidic conditions. Taking advantage of complexation between DOPA and borate, DOPA was coupled to the ends of several commercially-available PAOs under alkaline aqueous conditions to yield DOPA-PAO7 and DOPA-PAO8. Visual inspection of the reaction solution revealed the absence of strongly absorbing DOPA-quinone, an indication that DOPA remains unoxidized during the reaction. At the completion of the reaction, acidification with HCl resulted in deprotection of the DOPA endgroups of the block copolymer.
Based on the assumption of two available succinimidyl carbonate groups in the corresponding carbonate intermediates, SC-PAO7 and SC-PAO8, coupling efficiencies of DOPA methyl ester and DOPA to these two PAOs were quantitatively found to be in the range from 76% to 81% as obtained from colorimetric analysis (Table 1). The reported coupling efficiencies are the average values of at least three repeated syntheses performed under the same conditions and were not found to increase significantly when a larger excess of DOPA was used in the reaction. Similar coupling efficiencies were also found for DOPA-PAO7 and DOPA-PAO8 made from aqueous solutions, suggesting that the hydrolysis of succinimidyl carbonate activated PAOs is slow in the aqueous alkaline solution containing Na2B4O7.
In contrast to coupling efficiencies, the product yields (shown in Table 1) of the selected DOPA-modified PAOs synthesized in aqueous solution were found to be lower than those synthesized in organic solvent. This may be due to the surfactant properties of the starting PAO material, causing the low efficiency of extraction of DOPA-modified PAO with dichioromethane from water. It should be noted that the free carboxylic acid in DOPA-PAO7 and DOPA-PAO8 can be further functionalized using standard peptide chemistry to tailor the properties of the block copolymers. The four DOPA-modified PAOs of Table 1 could be stored at −20° C. indefinitely with no discoloration or change in properties.

Control of cell and protein adhesion on surfaces is critical to the performance of biosensors, medical diagnostic products, any instrumentation and assays used requiring handling serum and other human/animal fluids, tissue engineering, localized in vivo drug delivery, implanted medical devices, healing of surgical incisions, adhesion of tissues such as bone and cartilage for healing, and nanotechnology (nanoparticle-based therapies and diagnostic tools). In many industrial applications, control of cellular and protein adhesion to surfaces is also important. Such applications include without limitation prevention of mussel attachment to boats and ships, piers, and other structures used in oceans and fresh water, prevention of algal and bacterial growth on water lines used for industrial and drinking water, and sensors used to measure water quality and purity.
The polymeric compositions of the present invention can be used as coatings to prevent protein and cellular adhesion to devices for medical and research applications. These include without limitation such uses as coatings for medical implants, coatings for surgical devices, coatings for devices that handle serum and other animal or human-derived materials, medical diagnostic devices, and biosensors. Alternatively, the polymeric compositions can be tissue adhesive polymeric hydrogels for medical uses such as tissue sealants, gels for prevention of surgical adhesion (scar tissue formation), bone and cartilage adhesives, tissue engineering, and site specific drug elution and for research uses such as immobilization of proteins including antibodies and small molecule analytes including pharmaceuticals. In addition, there are various industrial and consumer product uses of these coatings and hydrogels including without limitation prevention of marine biofouling (attachment of algae, bacteria, and mussels to surfaces underwater), prevention of bacteria contamination of water streams to industrial plants such as electronic and drug manufacturers, prevention of bacterial contamination of drinking water streams, dental and denture adhesives, underwater adhesives to deliver indicators, coatings for water purity and measurement sensors, paints used for prevention of biofouling, and use in cosmetics to adhere desired fragrances and colorants to hair, eyelids, lips, and skin, to form temporarily skin coloring such as tattoos and the like, and for resealable adhesives for consumer products such as storage bags. The present methods can be used to prepare a variety of polymer modified surfaces for both medical (diagnostics, devices, nanoparticle-based therapies) and nonmedical (paints and other particle dispersions, MEMS, quantum dots, nonfouling surfaces) technologies.
Adhesive hydrogels can be also formed using the present methods. The DHPD adhesive is attached to polymers capable of forming hydrogels in vivo or in vitro. These hydrogels can be formed by a number of methods including the use of self-assembling polymers that form gels at higher temperatures such as normal human body temperatures, the use of polymers that can be cross-linked by an enzymatic reaction, the use of polymers that can be subjected to oxidation to form cross-linked hydrogels, and the use of polymers that can be subjected to photoactivation to produce cross-linked hydrogels.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The adhesive properties of the preferred anchoring protein moieties of this invention are believed to be due to the presence of a preferred DHPD, namely L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), an amino acid that is formed by post-translational modification of tyrosine. Of the several blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) adhesive pad proteins identified in the art, Mefp-3 and Mefp-5 are of special interest because these proteins have high DOPA content and are structurally located closest to the interface between the adhesive pad and substrate. See, Waite, J. H. and X. Qin, Polyphosphoprotein from the Adhesive Pads of Mytilus edulis. Biochemistry, 2001. 40: p. 2887-2893. Papov, V. V., et al., Hydroxyarginine-containing Polyphenolic Proteins in the Adhesive Plaques of the Marine Mussel Mytilus edulis. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995. 270(34): p. 20183-20192. At approximately 27%, Mefp-5 has the highest DOPA content of any isolated MAP. Furthermore, over 75% of the DOPA residues in Mefp-5 are immediately adjacent to lysine (Lys) residues.
Accordingly, various non-limiting embodiments can employ a 5-mer peptide mimic of Mefp-5 comprising alternating DOPA and Lys residues (FIG. 1) as an anchor for polymer immobilization. Without restriction to any one theory or mode of operation, the catechol side chains of the DOPA residues are hypothesized to form charge transfer complexes to metal oxide surfaces, whereas the cationic nature of the Lys residues should provide electrostatic attraction to a negatively charged oxide surface. Other DOPA-containing peptide anchor components useful in conjunction with the present inventive polymers will be understood by those skilled in the art made aware of this invention, such components including but not limited to those described in co-pending application Ser. No. 10/199,960 (U.S. Patent Application Publication 2003-0087338 published May 8, 2003 particularly paragraphs  through ) and application Ser. No. 10/699,584 (U.S. Patent Application Publication 2004/026595 published Dec. 30, 2004), filed Jul. 19, 2002 and Oct. 31, 2004, respectively, each of which is specifically incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
An antifouling portion of the polymer can comprise a poly-N-substituted glycine oligomer (peptoid) of variable length. Peptoids are non-natural mimics of peptides that have a protein-like backbone, with side chain derivatization at the amide nitrogen instead of the alpha-carbon Formula II. A wide range of N-substituents, corresponding N-substituted glycine residues and related peptoid components will be understood by those skilled in the art made aware of this invention, such residues and peptoid components as can be prepared as described below, in the referenced prior art, U.S. Pat. No. 6,887,845, and/or in co-pending application Ser. No. 11/120,071 filed May 2, 2005, each of which is incorporated hereby by reference.
In certain embodiments, the peptoid component can comprise an N-substituted methoxyethyl side chain, according to current understanding in the art of functional groups that provide fouling resistance to surfaces. In an extensive study of protein adsorption onto functionalized SAMs, certain functional group characteristics were identified that render surfaces resistant to protein adsorption. They include hydrophilicity, hydrogen-bond acceptors but not hydrogen-bond donors, and electrical charge neutrality. See, Ostuni, E., et al., A Survey of Structure-Property Relationships of Surfaces that Resist the Adsorption of Protein. Langmuir, 2001. 17: p. 5605-5620 which is incorporated by reference herein. Like PEG and PMEA components, the methoxyethyl side chain of such polypeptoid exhibits all four of these characteristics, including hydrophilicity, hydrogen bond acceptors, no hydrogen bond donors, and no charge. N-substituent identity is limited only by functional effect, meeting one or more of the aforementioned characteristics and/or otherwise demonstrating antifouling properties upon incorporation or one or more such moletics into a corresponding peptoid polymer component. With respect to the chemical properties of the peptoid backbone, side chain substitution from the nitrogen (instead of the alpha carbon peptides) eliminates the amide hydrogen, removes the capacity for hydrogen bond donation, and significantly decreases incidence of protease degradation.
The chimeric peptide-peptoid molecule shown in Scheme 1 was synthesized on solid phase resin by first synthesizing the adhesive peptide anchor with standard Fmoc strategy followed by synthesis of a 20-mer N-methoxyethyl glycine peptoid using a known submonomer protocol. See, Zuckerman, R. N., et al., Efficient Method For the Preparation of Peptoids [Oligo(n-Substituted Blycines)] By Submonomer Solid-Phase Synthesis. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 1992. 114(26): p. 10646-10647. The amine terminus was acetylated, cleaved from the resin, purified by RP-HPLC and analyzed by mass spectrometry. Silicon wafers coated with 20 nm of electron beam evaporated Ti were modified by adsorption of the peptidomimetic polymer from an aqueous solution. Unmodified and modified Ti surfaces were analyzed by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The positive ion ToF-SIMS spectrum of unmodified Ti (not shown) exhibited typical low intensity hydrocarbon contamination peaks (CnH2n−1 +) and (CnH2n−1 +), a Ti peak at m/z=47.95 and a TiO1 peak at m/z=63.95. The positive ion ToF-SIMS spectrum of peptoid modified Ti revealed numerous fragments representing the presence of adsorbed peptoid polymer (FIG. 2). Apparent fragmentation of the methoxyethyl side chain gave rise to peaks for CH3 1 (m/z=15) C2H5O+ (m/z=45.06) and C3H7O+ (m/z=59.07) fragments, as well as Lys-derived fragments such as C2NH4 + (m/z=42.0). The negative ion spectrum contained peaks for 1-, 2- and 3-mer peptoid fragments as well as other large fragments of the peptoid portion of the polymer (FIG. 3).
XPS analysis of the surfaces modified with the peptidomimetic polymer reveals further evidence of peptidomimetic polymer adsorption onto the Ti surface. XPS spectra showed an increase in the ether (C—O) peak at 286.0 cV when compared to control Ti surfaces (FIG. 4). A peak at 284.6 eV is due to the aliphatic and aromatic carbons in the methoxyethyl side chain and the DOPA anchoring group, as well as hydrocarbon contamination. The carbonyl groups of the peptidometic polymer backbone are represented by a peak at 287.5 eV. Furthermore, a strong N(1s) peak was present at 399.7 eV in the spectra of the polypeptoid modified surfaces that was not observed in the unmodified Ti surfaces (FIG. 5). While certain embodiments of this invention are demonstrated in conjunction with a titanium oxide substrate, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various other materials, including but not limited to other metal oxides, can be employed with composites and/or compositions comprising any one or a plurality of the peptidomimetic polymers of this invention. Other such materials include those recognized in the art for implementation of the medical and non-medical applications mentioned herein.
Optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy (OWLS) experiments revealed that polypeptoid modification of titanium surfaces resulted in a substantial reduction in protein adsorption (FIG. 6). Exposure of unmodified Ti waveguides to whole human serum for 20 minutes resulted in an adsorbed protein layer with a mass between 150 and 230 ng/cm2 after rinsing. However, surprisingly and unexpectedly, serum protein adsorption onto representative peptoid modified substrates of this invention under identical conditions was reduced to approximately 4 ng/cm2. This amount of protein adsorption is similar to that adsorbed onto DOPA-anchored PEG coatings and to oligoethylene glycol terminated SAMs, demonstrating the excellent protein resistance of peptidomimetic polymer compositions of the invention.
Finally, the ability of polypeptoid modified surfaces to resist cell attachment over a long period of time was determined by culturing 3T3 fibroblast cells on unmodified and modified titanium surfaces in the presence of serum. Fresh cells were seeded twice weekly onto the titanium surfaces for several months, the cell attachment at various time points assayed by fluorescence microscopy and image analysis. Although fibroblasts readily attached to unmodified titanium surfaces and were nearly confluent after several days (FIG. 7), the peptoid modified surfaces exhibited low levels of cell attachment throughout the experiment. Since cell attachment to surfaces is typically mediated by adsorbed protein, the results infer that serum protein adsorption remained low throughout the course of the in vitro experiment.
It is interesting to note that fouling resistance persisted for many days in the presence of serum, which typically contains protease enzymes that would be expected gradually to degrade peptide bonds of the polymer backbone. In this respect as well, the design of the peptoid is beneficial in that the placement of the side chain on the amide nitrogen leads to an essentially protease-resistant backbone. Although the adhesive peptide anchor of the molecule may be susceptible to protease degradation, at high polymer density on the surface the peptide anchors are likely to be buried beneath or protected by the peptoid chains and therefore essentially inaccessible to serum proteases.
As illustrated, above, a new de novo designed peptidomimetic polymers of this invention were synthesized and determined to have excellent and long-lasting antifouling properties when immobilized onto a metal oxide surface. Such chimeric compounds can comprise a mussel adhesive protein mimetic peptide for robust water-resistant anchorage onto substrates, coupled to an oligometric N-substituted glycine peptoid with a side chain (e.g., methoxyethyl) designed for resistance to protein and cell fouling. The modular, solid phase approach known in the art used to synthesize these peptidomimetic polymers offers precise control of molecular weight at high yields, and with virtually unlimited versatility in functionality obtained through variation of N-substituted side chain composition in the form of both natural and non-natural side chains. See, Zuckerman, R. N., et al., Efficient Method For the Preparation of Peptoids [Oligo(N-Substituted Glycines)] By Submonomer Solid-Phase Synthesis. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 1992. 114(26): p. 10646-10647. Kirshenbaum, K., et al., Sequence-specific polypeptoids: A diverse family of heteropolymers with stable secondary structure. PNAS, 1998. 95(8): p. 4303-4308. The synthetic diversity available through such peptidomimetic polymers can be used to better understand the fundamental relationship between chemical composition of polymers and protein/cell resistance. Enhanced understanding of these relationships may, in turn, lead to improved antifouling strategies for medical and nonmedical applications.
Bromoacetic acid (BAA) and methoxyethylamine were purchased from Aldrich (Milwaukee, Wis.).
A peptidomimetic polymer composition of the invention was synthesized on 0.25 mmol Fmoc-Rink amide resin (Nova Biochem, San Diego, Calif.) using an ABI 433A (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.) automated peptide synthesizer. Conventional Fmoc strategy of solid phase peptide synthesis with Fmoc-Lys-(N-Boc) and Fmoc-DOPA (acetonid) amino acids (Nova Biochem, San Diego, Calif.) was used to synthesize the C-terminal DOPA-Lys-DOPA-Lys-DOPA peptide anchor, after which the polypeptoid portion was synthesized using submonomer protocol described previously. See Zuckerman, supra. Bromoacetylation of the N-terminal amino was accomplished by vortexing 4.15 mL of 1.2M bromoacetic acid in DMF and 1 mL of diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) (Aldrich, Milwaukee, Wis.) with the resin for 60 min. After rinsing 4 times with 7 mL of DMF, the resin was vortexed for 60 min. with 4 mL of 1M methoxyethylamine (Aldrich, Milwaukee, Wis.) in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.) to introduce the side chain moiety. The liquid was then drained and the resin washed with 7 mL of DMF. These two reaction cycles were repeated until the desired number of peptoid monomers was obtained.
Following completion of the synthesis, the N-terminus of the peptidomimetic polymer was acetylated with acetic anhydride (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, Calif.). Cleavage of the peptidomimetic polymer from the resin deprotection of the amino acid side chains was accomplished by treating the resin with 95% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid (Acres Organics, Belgium) with 2.5% H2O and 2.5% triisopropylsilane (Aldrich, Milwaukee, Wis.). The cleaved peptidomimetic polymer was isolated by filtration and rinsed several times with acetonitrile and water. The crude product was analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC using a Vydac C18 column and ESI-MS for purity and composition. Purification was performed by preparative HPLC, and purified fractions were frozen at −85° C. and lyophilized.
Silicon wafers were coated with 20 nm of electron beam evaporated Ti and then cut into 8 mm by 8 mm pieces. The substrates were cleaned ultrasonically for ten minutes in 2-propanol, dried under N2 and then exposed to O2 plasma (Harrick Scientific Ossining, USA) at ≦50 Torr and 100 W for three minutes to produce a clean titanium oxide surface. OWLS waveguides were purchased from Microvacuum Ltd. (Budapest, Hungary), consisting of a SiO2 substrate coated with Si6.25Ti6.75O2 and a final 10 nm thick coating of TiO2 produced by a sol-gel process. Voros, J., et al., Optical grating coupler biosensors. Biomaterials, 2002. 23: p. 3699-3710. Sensors were cleaned following the same procedure as Ti substrates.
Clean substrates and sensors were immersed in 1 mg/ml peptidomimetic polymer in saturated NaCl buffered with 0.1M N-morpholinopropanesulfonic acid (MOPS) at 60° C. for 24 hours to form a uniform monolayer. After modification, substrates were exhaustively rinsed with ultrapure H2O and dried in a stream of filtered N2.
Survey and high resolution XPS spectra were collected on an Omicron FSCALAB (Omicron, Taunusstein, Germany) configured with a monochromated A1 Kα (1486.8 eV) 300-W X-ray source, 1.5 nm circular spot size, a flood gun counter charging effects, and an ultrahigh vacuum (<10−8 Torr). The takeoff angle, defined as the angle between the substrate normal and the detector, was fixed at 45°. Substrates were mounted on standard sample studs by means for double-sided adhesive tape. All binding energies were calibrated using the C(1s) carbon peak (284.6 eV). Analysis included a broad survey scan (50.0 eV pass energy) and a 10-min. high-resolution scan (22.0 eV pass energy) at 270-300 eV for C(1s) and, comparably, for N(1s).
Secondary ion spectra were recorded on a TRIFT III time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer (Physical Electronics, Eden Prairie, Minn) in the mass range 0-2000 m/z. A Ga-source was used at a beam energy of 15 keV with a 100 μm raster size. Positive and negative spectra were collected and calibrated with a set of low mass ions using the PHI software Cadence.
3T3-Swiss albino fibroblasts (ATCC, Manassas, Va.) were maintained at 37° C. and 5% CO2 in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM, Cellgro, Herndon, Va.) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 100 μm/ml of penicillin and 100 U/ml of streptomycin. Immediately before use, fibroblasts of passage 12-16 were harvested using 0.25% trypsin-EDTA, resuspended in DMEM with 10% FBS and counted using a hemacytometer.
Quantification of Cell Adhesion
Modified and unmodified TiO2 substrates were pretreated in a 12-well TCPS plate with 1.0 ml of DMEM containing FBS for 30 minutes at 37° C. and 5% CO2. Fibroblasts were seeded onto the test substrates at a density of 2.9×103 cell/cm2. For short-term studies, the substrates were maintained in DMEM with 10% FBS at 37° C. and 5% CO2 for 4 hours, after which adherent cells were fixed in 3.7% paraformaldehyde for 5 minutes and stained with 5 M 1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′ tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (Dil; Molecular Probes, Eugene, Oreg.) for inflorescent microscope counting. For long-term adhesion experiments substrates were reseeded with 3T3 fibroblasts at a density of 2.9×103 cells/cm2 twice per week. The medium was aspirated from each well to remove any non-adherent cells and PBS was used to rinse the substrates and wells. Fibroblasts were stained with 2.5 μM calcein-AM (Molecular Probes) in complete PBS for 1 hour at 37° C. twice per week initially and then once per week after 2 weeks.
Quantitative cell attachment data was obtained by acquiring nine images from random locations on each substrate using an Olympus BX-40 (λEx=549 nm, λEm=565 nm) and a Coolsnap CCD camera (Roper Scientific, Trenton, N.J.). The experiments were performed in triplicate for statistical purposes, resulting in a total of 27 images per time point for each substrate. The resulting images were quantified using thresholding in Metamorph (Universal Imaging, Downington, Pa.).
For in situ protein adsorption experiments, TiO2 coated waveguides were modified ex situ with polypeptoid. The waveguides were inserted in the OWLS flow-through cell and equilibrated by exposing to HEPES-2 buffer (10 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4) for at least 6 hours to allow for complete exchange for ions at the TiO2 surface. The measurement head was mounted in the sample chamber and heated to 37° C.; the signal was recorded to ensure a stable baseline and thus adequate equilibrium time. Whole human serum (Control Serum N, Roche Diagnostics, Switzerland, reconstituted in ultrapure water) was injected into the flow-through cell. The waveguide was exposed to serum for 40 minutes and subsequently rinsed with HEPES-2 buffer for another.
The refractive index of solutions was measured in a refractometer (J157 Automatic Refractometer, Rudolph Research (under identical experimental conditions. A refractive index value of 1.33119 was used for the HEPES-2 buffer and a standard value of 0.182 cm3/g was used for the protein-adsorption calculations. The residual increase in signal intensity versus baseline measured by OWLS can be directly correlated to adsorbed mass of protein.
