Supramolecular polymeric peptide amphiphile vesicles for the encapsulation of basic fibroblast growth factor.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synthesis of a supramolecular double hydrophilic peptide-conjugated polymer held together by cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) ternary complexation and its subsequent temperature triggered self-assembly into vesicles are described. Basic fibroblast growth factor can be easily loaded into the vesicles under benign conditions and their bioactivities can be preserved without the need for excipients such as heparin.

Abstract Background and Objective: the inhibition of tumor-associated angiogenesis can significantly reduce the tumor proliferation. The basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), an important angiogenic factor, is considered as a potential therapeutic target for cancer therapy. The purpose of this study was evaluating, designing and construction of new recombinant DNA molecule in order to ha...
متن کاملEnhanced angiogenesis through controlled release of basic fibroblast growth factor from peptide amphiphile for tissue regeneration.
In the present study, we hypothesized that a novel approach to promote vascularization would be to create injectable three-dimensional (3-D) scaffolds with encapsulated growth factor that enhance the sustained release of growth factor and induce the angiogenesis. We demonstrate that a 3-D scaffold can be formed by mixing of peptide-amphiphile (PA) aqueous solution with basic fibroblast growth f...

Drug delivery systems comprising vesicles prepared from one amphiphile encapsulating vesicles prepared from a second amphiphile have not been prepared previously due to a tendency of the bilayer components of the different vesicles to mix during preparation. Recently we have developed polymeric vesicles using the new polymer-palmitoyl glycol chitosan and cholesterol in a 2:1 weight ratio. These...

A pillar[6]arene-based supramolecular amphiphile has been constructed in water. The supramolecular amphiphile formed vesicles, which could be regulated by pH, light and enzymes, and thus the loaded dye in the vesicles could be released in a controlled manner.
متن کاملMimicking the Bioactivity of Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 Using Supramolecular Nanoribbons
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) is a multifunctional growth factor that has pleiotropic effects in different tissues and organs. In particular, FGF-2 has a special role in angiogenesis, an important process in development, wound healing, cell survival, and differentiation. Therefore, incorporating biological agents like FGF-2 within therapeutic biomaterials is a potential strategy to create an...
