Definitions
- the present invention is related to medical uses of nanoparticles composed of chitosan/poly- ⁇ -glutamic acid with protein drugs as a drug delivery system with enhanced paracellular drug delivery capability.
- Paracellular transport Movement of solutes between cells, through the tight junctions that bind cells together into a layer as with the epithelial cells of the gastrointestinal tract, is termed paracellular transport.
- Paracellular transport is passive. Paracellular transport depends on electrochemical gradients generated by transcellular transport and on solvent drag through tight junctions. Tight junctions form an intercellular barrier that separates the apical and basolateral fluid compartments of a cell layer. Movement of a solute through a tight junction from apical to basolateral compartments depends on the "tightness" of the tight junction for that solute.
- Nanoparticles have been widely investigated as carriers for drug delivery (Biomaterials 2002;23:3193-3201). Much attention has been given to the nanoparticles made of synthetic " “biodegradable polymers " such " "” as poly- ⁇ -caprolactone and polylactide due to their good biocompatibility (J. Drug Delivery 2000;7:215-232; Eur. J. Pharm. Biopharm. 1995;41: 19-25). However, these nanoparticles are not ideal carriers for hydrophilic drugs because of their hydrophobic property.
- Some aspects of the invention relate to a novel nanoparticle system, composed of hydrophilic chitosan and poly- ⁇ -glutamic acid hydrogels that is prepared by a simple ionic-gelation method. This technique of the nanoparticles are prepared under mild conditions without using harmful solvents. It is known that organic solvents may cause degradation of peptide or protein drugs that are unstable and sensitive to their environments (J. Control. Release 2001;73:279-291).
- protein drugs are readily degraded by the low pH of gastric medium in the stomach.
- the absorption of protein drugs following oral administration has disadvantages of high molecular weight, hydrophilicity, and susceptibility to enzymatic inactivation.
- Protein drugs at the intestinal epithelium could not partition into the hydrophobic membrane and thus can only traverse the epithelial barrier via the paracellular pathway.
- the tight junction forms a barrier that limits the paracellular diffusion of hydrophilic molecules.
- Chitosan a cationic polysaccharide
- CS a cationic polysaccharide
- J. Control. Release 2004;96:285-300 It was reported from literature that CS is non-toxic and soft-tissue compatible (Biomacromolecules 2004;5: 1917-1925; Biomacromolecules 2004;5:828-833). Additionally, it is known that CS has a special feature of adhering to the mucosal surface and transiently opening the tight junctions between epithelial cells (Pharm. Res. 1994;11:1358- 1361).
- CSs have a quite large molecular weight (MW) and need to be dissolved in an acetic acid solution at a pH value of approximately 4.0 or lower that is sometimes impractical. Given a low MW, the polycationic characteristic of CS can be used together with a good solubility at a pH value close to physiological ranges. Loading of peptide or protein drugs at physiological pH ranges would preserve their bioactivity. On this basis, a low-MW CS, obtained by depolymerizing a commercially available CS using cellulase, is disclosed herein to prepare nanoparticles of the present invention.

- ⁇ -PGA is usually synthesized from poly( ⁇ -benzyl-L-glutamate) by removing the benzyl protecting group with the use of hydrogen bromide.
- Chitosan when protonated at an acidic pH, is able to increase the paracellular permeability of peptide drugs across mucosal epithelia.
- Co-administration of chitosan or trimethyl chitosan chlor ⁇ ' 3e "" w ⁇ th peptide drugs were found to substantially increase the bioavailability of the peptide in animals compared with administrations without the chitosan component.
- the molecular weight of a low-MW CS of the present invention is about 80 kDa or less, preferably at about 40 kDa, adapted for adequate solubility at a pH that maintains the bioactivity of protein and peptide drugs. It is stipulated that a chitosan particle with about 30-50 kDa molecular weight is kidney inert.
- the particle size and the zeta potential value of the prepared nanoparticles are controlled by their constituted compositions.
- the results obtained by the TEM (transmission electron microscopy) and AFM (atomic force microscopy) examinations showed that the morphology of the prepared nanoparticles was generally spherical in shape.
- Evaluation of the prepared nanoparticles in enhancing intestinal paracellular transport was investigated in vitro in Caco-2 cell monolayers.

- ⁇ -PGA is a naturally occurring anionic homo-polyamide that is made of L- glutamic acid units connected by amide linkages between ⁇ -amino and ⁇ -carboxylic acid groups (Crit. Rev. Biotechnol. 2001;21:219-232). It is an exocellular polymer of certain Bacillus species that is produced within cells via the TCA cycle and is freely excreted into the fermentation broth. Its exact biological role is not fully known, although it is likely that ⁇ -PGA is linked to increasing the survival of producing strains when exposed to environmental stresses. Because of its water-solubility, biodegradability, edibility, and non-toxicity toward humans and the environment, several applications of ⁇ -PGA in food, cosmetics, medicine, and water treatment have been investigated in the past few years.
- CS (MW -2.8 x 10 5 ) with a degree of deacetylation of approximately 85% was acquired from Challenge Bioproducts Co. (Taichung, Taiwan).
- Acetic acid, cellulase (1.92 units/mg), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), phosphate buffered saline (PBS), periodic acid, sodium acetate, formaldehyde, bismuth subnitrate, and Hanks balanced salt solution (HBSS) were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, MO).
- Ethanol absolute anhydrous and potassium sodium tartrate were obtained from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany).
- Non-essential amino acid (NEAA) solution fetal bovine serum (FBS), gentamicin and trypsin-EDTA were acquired from Gibco (Grand Island, NY).
- the depolymerized CS was precipitated with aqueous NaOH at pH 7.0-7.2 and the precipitated CS was washed three times with deionized water.
- the resulting low-MW CS was lyophilized in a freeze diyer (Eyela Co. Ltd, Tokyo, Japan).
- the average molecular weight of the depolymerized CS was determined by a gel permeation chromatography (GPC) system equipped with a series of PL aquagel-OH columns (one Guard 8 ⁇ m, 50 x 7.5 mm and two MIXED 8 ⁇ m, 300 x 7.5 mm, PL Laboratories, UK) and a refractive index (RI) detector " (RIZGOO-F, " SFD, Torrance, CA). Polysaccharide standards (molecular weights range from 180 to 788,000, Polymer Laboratories, UK) were used to construct a calibration curve.
- the mobile phase contained 0.01MNaH 2 PO 4 and 0.5MNaNO 3 and was brought to a pH of 2.0.
- the flow rate of mobile phase was 1.0 ml/min, and the columns and the RI detector cell were maintained at 30°C .
- the low-MW CS used in the study was obtained by precipitating the depolymerized CS solution with aqueous NaOH at pH 7.0-7.2.
- the obtained low-MW CS had a MW of about 50 kDa.
- the low molecular weight chitosan has a molecular weight of about 40 kDa or less.
- the obtained low-MW CS can be readily dissolved in an aqueous solution at pH 6.0, while that before depolymerization needs to be dissolved in an acetic acid solution with a pH value about 4.0. Additionally, it was found that with the low-MW CS, the prepared nanoparticles had a significantly smaller size with a narrower distribution than their counterparts prepared with the high-MW (also known as standard-MW) CS (before depolymerization), due to its lower viscosity.
- the mean particle size of the prepared nanoparticles was 878.3 ⁇ 28.4 nm with a polydispersity index of 1.0
- ⁇ -PGA was produced by Bacillus licheniformis (ATCC 9945, Bioresources
- Nanoparticles were obtained upon addition of ⁇ -PGA aqueous solution (pH 7.4, 2 ml), using a pipette (0.5-5 ml, PLASTIBRAND ® , BrandTech Scientific Inc., Germany), into a low-MW CS aqueous solution (pH 6.0, 10 ml) at varying concentrations (0.01%, 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.15%, or 0.20% by w/v) under magnetic stirring at room temperature. Nanoparticles were collected by ultracentrifugation at 38,000 rpm for 1 hour. Supernatants were discarded and nanoparticles were resuspended in deionized water for further studies. FT-IR was used to analyze peak variations of amino groups of low-MW CS and carboxylic acid salts of ⁇ -PGA in the CS ⁇ y-PGA nanoparticles.
- nanoparticles were obtained instantaneously upon addition of a ⁇ -PGA aqueous solution (pH 7.4) into a low-MW CS aqueous solution (pH 6.0) under magnetic stirring at room temperature.
- the FT-IR spectra of the low-MW CS and the CS ⁇ -PGA nanoparticles are shown in an article by Sung and associates (Biomacromolecules 2005;6: 1104-1112).
- the electrostatic interaction between the two polyelectrolytes ( ⁇ -PGA and CS) instantaneously induced the formation of long hydrophobic segments (or segments with a high density of neutral ion-pairs), and thus resulted in highly neutralized complexes that segregated into colloidal nanoparticles.
- the resulting nanoparticles may display a structure of a neutral polyelectrolyte-complex core surrounded by a positively charged CS shell (Table Ib) ensuring the colloidal stabilization (Langmuir. 2004;20:7766- 7778).
- the formed nanoparticles had ⁇ -PGA exposed on the surfaces and thus had a negative charge of zeta potential.
- the particle size and the zeta potential value of the prepared CS- ⁇ -PGA nanoparticles can be controlled by their constituted compositions.
- the results obtained by the TEM and AFM examinations showed that the morphology of the prepared nanoparticles was spherical in shape with a smooth surface ( Figure Ia and Ib).
- Some aspects of the invention relate to nanoparticles having a mean particle size between about 50 and 400 nanometers, preferably between about 100 and 300 nanometers, and most preferably between about 100 and 200 nanometers.
- the morphology of the nanoparticles shows spherical in shape with a smooth surface at any pH between 2.5 and 6.6.
- the stability of the nanoparticles of the present invention at a low pH around 2.5 or lower enables the nanoparticles to be intact when exposed to the acidic medium in the stomach.
- the intercellular tight junction is one of the major barriers to the paracellular transport of macromolecules (J. Control. Release 1996;39:131-138; J. Control. Release 1998;51:35-46).
- Trans-epithelial ion transport is contemplated to be a good indication of the tightness of the junctions between cells and was evaluated by measuring TEER of Caco-2 cell monolayers in the study. It was reported that the measurement of TEER can be used to predict the paracellular transport of hydrophilic molecules (Eur. J. Pharm. Biopharm. 2004;58:225-235). When the tight junctions open, the TEER value will be reduced due to the water and ion passage through the paracellular route. Caco-2 cell monolayers have been widely used as an in vitro model to evaluate the intestinal paracellular permeability of macromolecules.
- the transport medium containing fCS- ⁇ -PGA nanoparticles (0.2 mg/ml) was introduced into the donor compartment of Caco-2 cells, which were pre-cultured on the transwell for 18-21 days.
- the experimental temperature was maintained at 37°C by a temperature control system (DH-35 Culture Dish Heater, Warner Instruments Inc., Hamden, CT). After incubation for specific time intervals, test samples were aspirated. The cells were then washed twice with pre-warmed PBS solution before they were fixed in 3.7% paraformaldehyde (Pha ⁇ n. Res. 2003;20:1812-1819). Cells were examined under an inversed CLSM (TCS SL, Leica, Germany). The fluorescence images were observed using an argon laser (excitation at 488 nm, emission collected at a range of 510-540 nm).
- Fluorescence (FITC)-labeled CS- ⁇ -PGA (fCS- ⁇ -PGA) nanoparticles were prepared for the confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) study. After feeding rats with fCS- ⁇ -PGA nanoparticles, the rats are sacrificed at a pre-determined time and the intestine is isolated for CLSM examination. The fluorescence images of the nanoparticles were clearly observed by CLSM that penetrates through the mouse intestine at appropriate time and at various depths from the inner surface toward the exterior surface of the intestine, including duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, which is discussed in EXAMPLE No. 12.
- Fluorescence (FITC)-labeled ⁇ -PGA was added into chitosan solution to prepare fluorescence (FITC)-labeled, insulin-loaded CS- ⁇ -PGA nanoparticles for in vivo animal study with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) assessment and bioactivity analysis.
- the insulin-loaded CS- ⁇ PGA nanoparticles are manufactured by using the ionic-gelation method upon addition of insulin/ ⁇ - PGA solution into CS solution, followed by magnetic stirring in a container.
- nanoparticles with two insulin concentrations are prepared at a chitosan to ⁇ -
- Insulin Association Total amount of insulin xl 0 ° /o
- the delivery tablets utilized 2-Iminothiolane covalently linked to chitosan to form chitosan- TBA (chitosan-4-thiobutylamidine) conjugate.
