MULTIVALENT SYSTEMS FOR NANOMEDICINE
Group Leader: Miriam Royo
Chemical Multivalent Systems are molecules containing multiple functional groups disposed on spatial distributions that are directly associated to their skeleton/scaffold architecture. These functional groups can be modified, in a controlled manner, with diverse biomolecules, drugs or ligands. Due to this versatility, multivalent systems become chemical tools with great potential in areas as chemical biology and nanomedicine, such as drug delivery, diagnosis and biomaterials.
Our group explore the use of diverse types of chemical multivalent platforms (oligomers, dendrimers, polymers, micelles and lipid nanovesicles), in:
-the generation of multivalent ligands to study GPCR oligomerization; and
-the development of drug delivery systems for colorectal and breast cancer treatment, protein delivery systems for the treatment of lysosomal diseases and macromolecular compounds that have intrinsically therapeutic properties with application to central nervous system diseases.
We also explore the use of different targeting moieties (peptides, small molecules) or transporters to improve the accumulation of these delivery systems of therapeutic agents on specific cells, tissue or organs, or to facilitate the entry through biological barriers as blood brain barrier.
Design and synthesis of biocompatible multivalent systems, as dendrimers, and the study of their applications in biomedicine and chemical biology.
Dendrimers are compounds intrinsically multivalent. Our group has developed several families of biocompatible dendrimers based on polyproline sequences or oligoethylene glycol-DTPA (OEG-DPTA) moieties. These dendrimers can be easily modified at the functional groups of their surface. We have also developed a synthetic method to generate multimodal oligoethylene-DTPA based dendrimers or multivalent platforms in precise and controlled manner. We have explored the use of these dendrimer on different applications, as biomaterials functionalization and gene delivery among others.
Bivalent and multivalent ligands as pharmacological and therapeutic tools for the study of GPCR oligomerization, specifically A2AR, D2R, A1R and D1R oligomerization. Application to the development of a novel treatment for movement disorders, as Parkinson’s syndrome, spinal cord injury and restless legs syndrome.
GPCRs are involved in the regulation of many physiological processes and it is now widely accepted that these receptors form, in addition to functional monomers, dimers and higher-order oligomers. The relevance of these oligomers is that they present functional properties different from those of the constituent monomers and this makes them potential new therapeutic targets. Our group is focused on the development of chemical tools to study the oligomerization of adenosine and dopamine receptors, specifically A2AR-D2R y A1R-D1R oligomers, involved in movement disorders associated with diseases such as Parkinson, spinal cord injuries or restless legs syndrome. Mainly we are working in the design and synthesis of several multivalent platforms (bi-, tri- and tetravalent), functionalized with ligands, both agonists and antagonists, to be used as chemical tools that allow the characterization of these receptors and the evaluation of their potential therapeutic efficacy in the abovementioned pathologies.
Targeted and non-targeted drug-delivery systems for mono and combination therapy for the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer and triple negative breast cancer.
Tumors display a heterogeneous population of cells and among these are the cancer stem-like cells (CSC). Some models suggest that these cells, with self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation capacities, are the main responsible for metastases and relapses. For this reason, classical chemotherapy, mainly directed to primary tumor cells, is sometimes not enough for the treatment of some types of cancer. The presence of CSC has been described in a variety of cancers, such as breast cancer and colorectal cancer. Our group explore the use of multivalent platforms based on polyglutamic acid-drug conjugates and drug-oligoethylene glycol micelles as drug delivery systems for the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer (mCRC) and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The aim is to prepare drug delivery systems containing a combination of different drugs, directed to both primary tumor cells and CSC. Furthermore, targeting molecules (peptides, metabolites) will be incorporated to these platforms to enhance their accumulation in tumor tissues.
Targeting moiety-cholesterol-PEG hybrids as components of lipid nanoparticles. Application to the development of a protein delivery system for Fabry’s disease.
Lipid nanovesicles (LN) are adequate drug delivery systems for different types of drugs. Their surface modification with targeting moieties or other biomolecules usually is performed once nanovesicle is formed being difficult to control. An alternative is to generate LN with components that already contain the targeting moiety. In the frame of an HORIZON 2020 project, SMART-4-FABRY, our group has developed the synthesis of cholesterol-PEG- biomolecules hybrid (Chol-PEG-B) s with different length PEGs to be used as component of protein lipid-based nanoformulation for treatment a Fabry’s disease. These units are generated in high yield and purity and are highly monodisperse. These Chol-PEG-B can be modified with different types of biomolecules, as peptide ligands or sugars, to be used as components to generate different targeting-LN.
Transporter based on peptidomimetics or peptides with the ability to cross biological barriers, as cell membrane and blood brain barrier. Peptide and small molecule ligands as targeting moieties for different applications.
We have developed a new family of g-peptides based on cis-4-amino-proline oligomers that have the ability to cross cell membranes. We are also studying the capacity of these compounds to act as transporters with the ability to cross biological barriers, as blood brain barrier. Furthermore, the intrinsic therapeutic ability of these compounds is also explored for some neurological diseases as Alzheimer and spinal cord injury.
Our group have also developed several peptide and small molecule ligands as targeting units for different diseases
