AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent teaches a new way to make certain compounds by combining a molecule called alendronate with a polymer. This process can be controlled and performed at a specific temperature. The result is a high amount of alendronate in the polymer and a uniform size distribution of the polymer. This can be useful in a variety of applications.

Problems solved by technology

Currently known agents used for treating bone related cancer and other angiogenesis-related conditions, at doses where anti-tumor activity is achieved, are characterized by high toxicity, which limits their use.

Synthesis of HPMA Copolymer-ALN-TNP-470 Conjugate

[0494]The general synthesis of a HPMA-ALN-TNP-470 conjugate according to some embodiments of the present invention is depicted in FIG. 1.

[0495]HPMA-Gly-Gly-Pro-Nle-ALN-TNP-470 (SEQ ID NO: 12) conjugate was prepared in a two-step synthesis. First, an intermediate was synthesized by copolymerization of HPMA, ALN-methacrylamide monomer (MA-Gly-Gly-Pro-Nle-ALN; (SEQ ID NO: 8), and amino group-containing methacrylamide monomer (MA-Gly-Gly-Pro-Nle-ethylenediamine; SEQ ID NO: 13). Optionally, for the evaluation of intracellular trafficking, a polymerizable derivative of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), N-methacryloylaminopropyl fluorescein thiourea (MA-FITC), was added to the monomer mixture. Next, TNP-470 was linked to free amino groups by nucleophilic substitution of the terminal chlorine of TNP-470.

Effect of Combination Treatment of ALN and TNP-470 on Proliferation of Endothelial Cells In Vitro

[0515]Prior to conjugation of ALN and TNP-470 to HPMA copolymer backbone, the nature of the inhibitory effect of ALN and TNP-470 as a combined therapy on endothelial cells proliferation in vitro was evaluated. HUVEC were challenged with free or combined ALN and TNP-470. The results, presented in FIG. 2A show that combination treatments of ALN and TNP-470 decreased the IC's of the drugs as single treatments. ALN inhibited cell proliferation at inhibitory concentration IC30, 50, 70 of 10, 50, 90 μM, respectively, and TNP-470 inhibited cell proliferation at IC30, 50, 70 of 0.00025, 0.1, 1000 nM, respectively. Combination treatments I (serial concentrations of ALN and TNP-470 0.01 pM) and II (serial concentrations of TNP-470 and ALN 10 μM) inhibited HUVEC proliferation at IC30, 50, 70 of 0.2, 10, 30 μM and 0.00001, 0.004, 40 nM, respectively.

Binding of a HPMA -ALN-TNP-470 Conjugate to Bone Mineral Hydroxyapatite

[0517]One of the main characteristics of ALN besides its anti-angiogenic and antitumor activities is its pharmacokinetic profile which exhibits a strong affinity to bone mineral under physiological conditions. To determine if the activity of ALN is retained following polymer-conjugation, the affinity of the conjugate to bone mineral was evaluated by in vitro hydroxyapitate binding assay and FPLC analysis using Hitrap desalting column. As shown in FIG. 3B, unbound conjugates eluted as a single peak with a retention time of 1.9 minutes. AUC decreased in correlation with hydroxyapitate incubation time. Following 2 minutes of incubation with hydroxyapitate, 50% of the HPMA copolymer ALN-TNP-470 conjugate in the solution was bound to hydroxyapitate (see, FIG. 3C). This rapid binding rate to hydroxyapitate decreased after 10 minutes and finally reached a plateau after 175 minutes of incubation time with 92% of the HPMA...
