Description

[0001] HYDROGEL CAPSULES COMPRISING COVALENTLY CROSSLINKED POLYSACCHARIDES AND ISLET CELLS CLAIM OF PRIORITY This application claims priority to U.S. Application No.63 / 452,127, filed March 14, 2023; the disclosure of the foregoing application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND The function of implanted devices depends in large part on the biological immune response pathway of the recipient (Anderson et al., Semin. Immunol.20:86–100 (2008); Langer, Adv. Mater.21:3235–3236 (2009)). Modulation of the immune response may impart a beneficial effect on the fidelity and function of these devices. As such, there is a need in the art for new compounds, compositions, and devices that achieve this goal. SUMMARY Described herein are hydrogel capsules (e.g., alginate hydrogel capsules) comprising: (i) polysaccharide polymers capable of covalent crosslinking to another moiety, such as another polysaccharide polymer; and (ii) an islet cell; as well as related compositions and uses thereof. In an embodiment, the polysaccharide polymer comprises a photoactive crosslinking moiety, such as a compound of Formula (IV) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In an embodiment, the polysaccharide polymer comprises both a photoactive crosslinking moiety (e.g., a compound of Formula (IV)) and a compound of Formula (I) (e.g., an afibrotic compound), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. These polysaccharide polymers can be present within a hydrogel capsule comprising one or more compartments, for example, in an outer compartment of a hydrogel capsule described herein or an inner compartment of a hydrogel capsule described herein, or both. In an embodiment, the polysaccharide polymer is capable of covalent and ionic crosslinking. The inclusion of a photoactive crosslinker into the polysaccharide polymers, and, in turn, the hydrogel capsules incorporating the polysaccharide polymers, may allow for tuning certain properties of the hydrogel capsules, including capsule diameter, stability, and integrity.

Abbreviations and Definitions So that the disclosure may be more readily understood, certain technical and scientific terms are specifically defined below. Unless specifically defined elsewhere in this document, all other technical and scientific terms used herein have the meaning commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. As used herein, including the appended claims, the singular forms of words such as "a," "an," and "the," include their corresponding plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. “About" or “approximately” means when used herein to modify a numerically defined parameter (e.g., a physical description of a hydrogel capsule such as diameter, sphericity, number of cells encapsulated therein, the number of capsules in a preparation), means that the recited numerical value is within an acceptable functional range for the defined parameter as determined by one of ordinary skill in the art, which will depend in part on how the numerical value is measured or determined, e.g., the limitations of the measurement system, including the acceptable error range for that measurement system. For example, “about” can mean a range of 20% above and below the recited numerical value. As a non-limiting example, a hydrogel capsule defined as having a diameter of about 1.5 millimeters (mm) and encapsulating about 5 million (M) cells may have a diameter of 1.2 to 1.8 mm and may encapsulate 4 M to 6 M cells. As another non-limiting example, a preparation of about 100 devices (e.g., hydrogel capsules) includes preparations having 80 to 120 devices. In some embodiments, the term “about” means that the modified parameter may vary by as much as 15%, 10% or 5% above and below the stated numerical value for that parameter. Alternatively, particularly with respect to certain properties of the devices described herein, such as hydrogel capsule integrity of the afibrotic compound, the term “about” can mean within an order of magnitude above and below the recited value, e.g., within 5-fold, 4-fold, 3-fold, 2-fold or 1-fold. “Acquire” or “acquiring”, as used herein, refer to obtaining possession of a value, e.g., a numerical value, or image, or a physical entity (e.g., a sample), by “directly acquiring” or “indirectly acquiring” the value or physical entity. “Directly acquiring” means performing a process (e.g., performing an analytical method or protocol) to obtain the value or physical entity. “Indirectly acquiring” refers to receiving the value or physical entity from another party or source (e.g., a third-party laboratory that directly acquired the physical entity or value). Directly acquiring a value or physical entity includes performing a process that includes a physical change in a physical substance or the use of a machine or device.

For example, the amount of FBR in a biological tissue that is induced by implant into that tissue of a device (e.g., hydrogel capsule) comprising an afibrotic compound (e.g., a hydrogel capsule comprising a polymer covalently modified with a compound listed in Table 3) is lower than the FBR induced by implantation of an afibrotic-null reference device, i.e., a device that lacks any afibrotic compound, but is of substantially the same composition (e.g., hydrogel of the same size, shape, number of compartments). In an embodiment, the degree of the FBR is assessed by the immunological response in the tissue containing the implanted device (e.g., hydrogel capsule), which may include, for example, protein adsorption, macrophages, multinucleated foreign body giant cells, fibroblasts, and angiogenesis, using assays known in the art, e.g., as described in WO 2017 / 075630, or using one or more of the assays / methods described in Vegas, A., et al., Nature Biotechnol (supra), (e.g., subcutaneous cathepsin measurement of implanted capsules), Masson’s trichrome (MT), hematoxylin or eosin staining of tissue sections, quantification of collagen density, cellular staining and confocal microscopy for macrophages (CD68 or F4 / 80), myofibroblasts (alpha-muscle actin, SMA) or general cellular deposition, quantification of 79 RNA sequences of known inflammation factors and immune cell markers, or FACS analysis for macrophage and neutrophil cells on retrieved devices (e.g., capsules) after 14 days in the intraperitoneal space of a suitable test subject, e.g., an immunocompetent mouse. In an embodiment, the FBR is assessed by measuring the levels in the tissue containing the implant of one or more biomarkers of immune response, e.g., cathepsin, TNF-α, IL-13, IL-6, G-CSF, GM-CSF, IL-4, CCL2, or CCL4. In some embodiments, the FBR induced by a device of the invention (e.g., a hydrogel capsule comprising an afibrotic compound disposed on its outer surface), is at least about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 95%, about 99%, or about 100% lower than the FBR induced by an FBR-null reference device, e.g., a device that is substantially identical to the test or claimed device except for lacking the means for mitigating the FBR (e.g., a hydrogel capsule that does not comprise an afibrotic compound but is otherwise substantially identical to the claimed capsule). In some embodiments, the FBR (e.g., level of a biomarker(s)) is measured after about 30 minutes, about 1 hour, about 6 hours, about 12 hours, about 1 day, about 2 days, about 3 days, about 4 days, about 1 week, about 2 weeks, about 1 month, about 2 months, about 3 months, about 6 months, or longer. “Cell,” as used herein, refers to an engineered cell or a cell that is not engineered.

In an embodiment, the C-terminus of an amino acid linker is joined to the N-terminus of the CBP and the N-terminus of the amino acid linker is joined to at least one pendant carboxyl group in the polysaccharide via an amide bond. In an embodiment, the structure of the linker-CBP is expressed as G(1-4)-CBP, meaning that the linker has one, two, three or four glycine residues. In an embodiment, one or more of the monosaccharide moieties in a CBP-polysaccharide, e.g., a CBP-alginate is not modified with the CBP, e.g, the unmodified moiety has a free carboxyl group or lacks a modifiable pendant carboxyl group.

In an embodiment, the conjugation density of the linker-RGD modification in an RGD-alginate (e.g., a MMW alginate covalently modified with GRGDSP (SEQ ID NO: 60)) is 0.1 to 1.0, 0.2 to 0.8, 0.3 to 0.7, 0.3 to 0.6, 0.4 to 0.6 micromoles of the linker-RGD moiety per g of the RGD-polymer in solution (e.g., saline solution) with a viscosity of 80-120cP, as determined by any assay that is capable of quantitating the amount of a peptide conjugated to a polymer, e.g., a quantitative peptide conjugation assay described herein. Unless otherwise explicitly stated or readily apparent from the context, a specifically recited numerical concentration, concentration range, density or density range for a CBP in a CBP-polymer refers to the concentration or density of conjugated CBP molecules, i.e., it does not include any residual free (e.g., unconjugated) CBP that may be present in the CBP-polymer. “Conservatively modified variants” or conservative substitution”, as used herein, refers to a variant of a reference peptide or polypeptide that is identical to the reference molecule, except for having one or more conservative amino acid substitutions in its amino acid sequence.

In some embodiments, when two or more chemical bonds are present, crosslinking refers to a mixture of both covalent and ionic bonds. In some embodiments, when two or more chemical bonds are present, crosslinking refers to different types of covalent bonds (e.g., covalent bonds comprising different or orthogonal functional groups). In some embodiments, when two or more chemical bonds are present, crosslinking refers to the same type of covalent bonds (e.g., covalent bonds comprising the same functional groups). In some embodiments, when two or more chemical bonds are present, crosslinking refers to the same type of ionic bonds (e.g., ionic bonds comprising the same ion, e.g., Ba2+). “Derived from”, as used herein with respect to cells, refers to cells obtained from tissue, cell lines, or cells, which optionally are then cultured, passaged, differentiated, induced, etc. to produce the derived cells. For example, mesenchymal stem cells can be derived from mesenchymal tissue and then differentiated into a variety of cell types. “Differential volume,” as used herein, refers to a volume of one compartment within a device described herein that excludes the space occupied by another compartment(s).

Unless otherwise indicated, a “substituted” group has a substituent at one or more substitutable positions of the group, and when more than one position in any given structure is substituted, the substituent is either the same or different at each position. The term “substituted” is contemplated to include substitution with all permissible substituents of organic compounds, such as any of the substituents described herein that result in the formation of a stable compound. The present disclosure contemplates any and all such combinations to arrive at a stable compound. For purposes of this disclosure, heteroatoms such as nitrogen may have hydrogen substituents and / or any suitable substituent as described herein which satisfy the valencies of the heteroatoms and results in the formation of a stable moiety. Two or more substituents may optionally be joined to form aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, or heterocyclyl groups. Such so-called ring-forming substituents are typically, though not necessarily, found attached to a cyclic base structure. In one embodiment, the ring-forming substituents are attached to adjacent members of the base structure. For example, two ring- forming substituents attached to adjacent members of a cyclic base structure create a fused ring structure. In another embodiment, the ring-forming substituents are attached to a single member of the base structure. For example, two ring-forming substituents attached to a single member of a cyclic base structure create a spirocyclic structure. In yet another embodiment, the ring- forming substituents are attached to non-adjacent members of the base structure. Compounds of Formula (I) described herein can comprise one or more asymmetric centers, and thus can exist in various isomeric forms, e.g., enantiomers and / or diastereomers. For example, the compounds described herein can be in the form of an individual enantiomer, diastereomer or geometric isomer, or can be in the form of a mixture of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomer. Isomers can be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred isomers can be prepared by asymmetric syntheses. See, for example, Jacques et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw–Hill, NY, 1962); and Wilen, Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p.268 (E.L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972). The disclosure additionally encompasses compounds described herein as individual isomers substantially free of other isomers, and alternatively, as mixtures of various isomers. As used herein, a pure enantiomeric compound is substantially free from other enantiomers or stereoisomers of the compound (i.e., in enantiomeric excess). In other words, an “S” form of the compound is substantially free from the “R” form of the compound and is, thus, in enantiomeric excess of the “R” form. The term “enantiomerically pure” or “pure enantiomer” denotes that the compound comprises more than 75% by weight, more than 80% by weight, more than 85% by weight, more than 90% by weight, more than 91% by weight, more than 92% by weight, more than 93% by weight, more than 94% by weight, more than 95% by weight, more than 96% by weight, more than 97% by weight, more than 98% by weight, more than 99% by weight, more than 99.5% by weight, or more than 99.9% by weight, of the enantiomer. In certain embodiments, the weights are based upon total weight of all enantiomers or stereoisomers of the compound. Compounds of Formula (I) described herein may also comprise one or more isotopic substitutions. For example, H may be in any isotopic form, including1H,2H (D or deuterium), and3H (T or tritium); C may be in any isotopic form, including12C,13C, and14C; O may be in any isotopic form, including16O and18O; and the like. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" is meant to include salts of the active compounds that are prepared with relatively nontoxic acids or bases, depending on the particular substituents found on the compounds described herein. When compounds of Formula (I) used to prepare devices of the present disclosure contain relatively acidic functionalities, base addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired base, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino, or magnesium salt, or a similar salt. When compounds used in the present disclosure contain relatively basic functionalities, acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired acid, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids like hydrochloric, hydrobromic, nitric, carbonic, monohydrogencarbonic, phosphoric, monohydrogenphosphoric, dihydrogenphosphoric, sulfuric, monohydrogensulfuric, hydriodic, or phosphorous acids and the like, as well as the salts derived from organic acids like acetic, propionic, isobutyric, maleic, malonic, benzoic, succinic, suberic, fumaric, lactic, mandelic, phthalic, benzenesulfonic, p-tolylsulfonic, citric, tartaric, methanesulfonic, and the like. Also included are salts of amino acids such as arginate and the like, and salts of organic acids like glucuronic or galacturonic acids and the like (see, e.g., Berge et al, Journal of Pharmaceutical Science 66: 1-19 (1977)). Certain specific compounds used in the devices of the present disclosure (e.g., a particle, a hydrogel capsule) contain both basic and acidic functionalities that allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts. These salts may be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art. Other pharmaceutically acceptable carriers known to those of skill in the art are suitable for use in the present disclosure. “Polysaccharide” as used herein, refers to a polymer of monosaccharide or disaccharide carbohydrates bound together by glycosidic linkages.

Devices of the present disclosure may contain a compound of Formula (I) in a prodrug form. Prodrugs are those compounds that readily undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions to provide the compounds useful for preparing devices in the present disclosure. Additionally, prodrugs can be converted to useful compounds of Formula (I) by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment. Certain compounds of Formula (I) described herein can exist in unsolvated forms as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms are equivalent to unsolvated forms and are encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure.

The compounds described herein may be prepared, e.g., in crystalline form, and may be solvated. Suitable solvates include pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and further include both stoichiometric solvates and non-stoichiometric solvates. The term “hydrate” refers to a compound which is associated with water. Typically, the number of the water molecules contained in a hydrate of a compound is in a definite ratio to the number of the compound molecules in the hydrate. Therefore, a hydrate of a compound may be represented, for example, by the general formula R ^x H2O, wherein R is the compound and wherein x is a number greater than 0. The term “tautomer” as used herein refers to compounds that are interchangeable forms of a compound structure, and that vary in the displacement of hydrogen atoms and electrons. Thus, two structures may be in equilibrium through the movement of π electrons and an atom (usually H). For example, enols and ketones are tautomers because they are rapidly interconverted by treatment with either acid or base. Tautomeric forms may be relevant to the attainment of the optimal chemical reactivity and biological activity of a compound of interest.

In an embodiment, the density of the Compound of Formula (I) in the afibrotic alginate (e.g., amount of conjugation) is between about 4.0% and about 8.0%, between about 5.0% and about 7.0 %, or between about 6.0% and about 7.0 % nitrogen (e.g., as determined by combustion analysis for percent nitrogen). In an embodiment, the amount of Compound 101 produces an increase in % N (as compared with the unmodified alginate) of about 0.5% to 2% 2% to 4% N, about 4% to 6% N, about 6% to 8%, or about 8% to 10% N), where % N is determined by combustion analysis and corresponds to the amount of Compound 101 in the modified alginate. The hydrogel capsules described herein may be porous or non-porous. The pores in a polysaccharide hydrogel capsule (e.g., formed from an alginate hydrogel) function as a selectively permeable membrane to small proteins and molecules while preventing larger, unwanted molecules such as immunoglobins access to encapsulated cells. In a preferred embodiment, the hydrogels and hydrogel capsules described herein are porous.

In some embodiments, the particle (e.g., hydrogel capsule) comprises alginate, and the compound of Formula (I) is covalently attached to some or all the monomers in the alginate. In some embodiments, some or all the monomers in the alginate are modified with the same compound of Formula (I). In some embodiments, some or all the monomers in the alginate are modified with different compounds of Formula (I). In some embodiments, a polymer of the first compartment of the particle (e.g., hydrogel capsule) is modified with one compound of Formula (I), and a polymer of the second compartment of the particle (e.g., hydrogel capsule) is modified with a different compound of Formula (I). In some embodiments, the particle (e.g., hydrogel capsule) comprises a mixture of polymers modified with a compound of Formula (I) and unmodified polymers (e.g., polymers not modified with a compound of Formula (I)). In some embodiments, the first compartment comprises a mixture of polymers modified with a compound of Formula (I) and unmodified polymers (e.g., polymers not modified with a compound of Formula (I)). In some embodiments, the second compartment comprises a mixture of polymers modified with a compound of Formula (I) and unmodified polymers (e.g., polymers not modified with a compound of Formula (I)). A polymer of the particle (e.g., hydrogel capsule) described herein may be modified with a compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof on one or more monomers of the polymer. The modified polymer of the particle may be present in the first (inner) compartment of the particle (e.g., hydrogel capsule), the second (outer) compartment of the particle (e.g., hydrogel capsule), or both the first (inner) and second (outer) compartments of the particle (e.g., hydrogel capsule). In some embodiments, the modified polymer is present only in the second compartment (which includes the exterior particle surface). In some embodiments, at least 0.5% of the monomers of a polymer are modified with a compound of Formula (I) (e.g., at least 1%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 99%, or more of the monomers of a polymer are modified with a compound of Formula (I)). In some embodiments, 0.5% to 50%, 10% to 90%, 10% to 50%, or 25-75%, of the monomers of a polymer are modified with a compound of Formula (I). In some embodiments, 1% to 20% of the monomers of a polymer are modified with a compound of Formula (I). In some embodiments, 1% to 10% of the monomers of a polymer are modified with a compound of Formula (I). In some embodiments, the polymer (e.g., alginate) (when modified with a compound of Formula (I), e.g., Compound 101 of Table 3) comprises an increase in % N (as compared with unmodified polymer, e.g., alginate) of any of the following values: (i) at least 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, or 10% N by weight; (ii) 0.1% to 10% by weight, (iii) 0.1% to 2% N by weight; (iv) 2% to 4% N by weight; (v) 4% to 8% N by weight; (vi) 5% to 9% N by weight; (vii) 6% to 9% N by weight, (viii) 6% to 8% N by weight; (ix) 7% to 9% N by weight; and (x) 8% to 9% N by weight where, in each case, % N is determined by combustion analysis (e.g., as described in Example 2 herein) and corresponds to the amount of compound of Formula (I) in the modified polymer. The particle (e.g., hydrogel capsule) (e.g., a first compartment or second compartment therein) may comprise a compound of Formula (I) in an amount that confers a specific feature to the particle. For example, the hydrogel capsule surface (e.g., the exterior of the outer compartment) may comprise a concentration or density of a compound of Formula (I) such that the hydrogel capsule is afibrotic (i.e., mitigates the foreign body response) in a subject. In an embodiment, the hydrogel capsule surface comprises an alginate chemically modified with an afibrotic-effective amount of Compound 101. In an embodiment, the afibrotic-effective amount of Compound 101 produces an increase in % N (as compared with the unmodified alginate) of about 0.5% to 2% 2% to 4% N, about 4% to 6% N, about 6% to 8%, or about 8% to 10% N), where % N is determined by combustion analysis (e.g., as described in Example 2 herein) and corresponds to the amount of Compound 101 in the modified alginate. In an embodiment, mechanical testing of hydrogel capsules is performed on a TA.XT plus Texture Analyzer (Stable Micro Systems, Surrey, United Kingdom) using a 5mm probe attached to a 5kg load cell. Individual capsules are placed on a platform and are compressed from above by the probe at a fixed rate of 0.5mm / sec. Contact between the probe and capsule is detected when a repulsive force of 1g is measured. The probe continues to travel 90% of the distance between the contact height of the probe and the platform, compressing the capsule to the point of bursting. The resistance to the compressive force of the probe is measured and can be plotted as a function of probe travel (force v. displacement curve). Typically, before a capsule bursts completely it will fracture slightly and the force exerted against the probe will decrease a small amount. An analysis macro can be programmed to detect the first time a decrease of 0.25-0.5g occurs in the force v. displacement curve. The force applied by the probe when this occurs is termed the initial fracture force. In an embodiment, the desired mechanical strength of a particle described herein (e.g., a two-compartment hydrogel capsule) has an initial fracture force of greater than 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 or 3 grams or at least 2 grams. In an embodiment, the desired mechanical strength of the hydrogel capsule is the ability to remain intact at a desired timepoint after implantation in a subject, e.g., both the outer and inner compartments of a particle (e.g., hydrogel capsule) removed from a subject are visibly intact after retrieval from an immune competent mouse when observed by optical microscopy, e.g., by brightfield imaging as described in the Examples herein. In an embodiment, the hydrogel capsule surface comprises an alginate chemically modified with Compound 101 in an amount that provides the particle with both an afibrotic property and a desired mechanical strength, e.g., a concentration or density of Compound 101 in the modified alginate that produces an increase in %N (as compared with the unmodified alginate) of any of the following values: (i) 1% to 3% by weight, (ii) 2% to 4% N by weight; (iii) 4% to 8% N by weight; (iv) 5% to 9% N by weight; (v) 6% to 9% N by weight, (vi) 6% to 8% N by weight; (vii) 7% to 9% N by weight; and (ix) 8% to 9% N by weight; where, in each case, % N is determined by combustion analysis (e.g., as described in Example 2 herein) and corresponds to the amount of compound of Formula (I) in the modified alginate. When the hydrogel capsule (e.g., a first compartment or second compartment therein) comprises alginate, the alginate can be chemically modified with a compound of Formula (I) using any suitable method known in the art. For example, the alginate carboxylic acid moiety can be activated for coupling to one or more amine-functionalized compounds to achieve an alginate modified with a compound of Formula (I). The alginate polymer may be dissolved in water (30 mL / gram polymer) and treated with 2-chloro-4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine (0.5 eq) and N- methylmorpholine (1 eq). To this mixture may be added a solution of the compound of Formula (I) dissolved in a buffer or solvent, such as acetonitrile (0.3 M). The reaction may be warmed, e.g., to 55 oC for 16h, then cooled to room temperature and concentrated via rotary evaporation. The residue may then be dissolved in a buffer or solvent, e.g., water. The mixture may then be filtered, e.g., through a bed of cyano-modified silica gel (Silicycle) and the filter cake washed with water. The resulting solution may then be dialyzed (10,000 MWCO membrane) against a buffer or water for 24 hours, e.g., replacing the buffer or water at least one time, at least two times, at least three times, or more. The resulting solution can be concentrated, e.g., via lyophilization, to afford the desired chemically modified alginate.

Methods of Making Particles The present disclosure further comprises methods for making a hydrogel capsule described herein, e.g., a hydrogel capsule comprising a polysaccharide polymer comprising a first compartment, a second compartment, a photoactive crosslinking moiety, and a compound of Formula (I). In some embodiments, the method of making the hydrogel capsule comprises contacting a plurality of droplets comprising first and second polymer solutions (e.g., each comprising a hydrogel-forming polymer) with an aqueous cross-linking solution. In an embodiment, the aqueous cross-linking solution comprises an ionic cross-linking agent, e.g., a divalent cation such as calcium, barium and magnesium. The droplets can be formed using any technique known in the art. In further embodiments where the particle is a hydrogel capsule, the method of making the hydrogel capsule comprises an irradiation step, in which a solution comprising a polysaccharide polymer is exposed to ultraviolet light to initiate the photocrosslinking reaction. In an embodiment, one or both of the first and second polymer solutions may further contain a photoinitiator. Each compartment of a hydrogel capsule described herein may comprise any one or more of the following: an unmodified polymer, a polymer modified with one or both of a compound of Formula (I) and a photoactive crosslinking moiety, or a blend of the unmodified and modified polymers. Briefly, in performing a method of preparing a hydrogel capsule configured as a two- compartment hydrogel capsule, a volume of a first polymer solution (e.g., comprising an unmodified polymer, a polymer modified with a compound of Formula (I), a photoactive crosslinking moiety, or a blend thereof, and optionally containing cells,) is loaded into a first syringe connected to the inner lumen of a coaxial needle. The first syringe may then be connected to a syringe pump oriented vertically above a vessel containing an aqueous cross- linking solution which comprises a cross-linking agent, a buffer, and an osmolarity-adjusting agent. A volume of the second polymer solution (e.g., comprising an unmodified polymer, a polymer modified with a compound of Formula (I), a photoactive crosslinking moiety, or a blend thereof, and optionally containing cells) is loaded into a second syringe connected to the outer lumen of the coaxial needle. The second syringe may then be connected to a syringe pump oriented horizontally with respect to the vessel containing the cross-linking solution. A high voltage power generator may then be connected to the top and bottom of the needle. The syringe pumps and power generator can then be used to extrude the first and second polymer solutions through the syringes with settings determined to achieve a desired droplet rate of polymer solution into the cross-linking solution. The skilled artisan may readily determine various combinations of needle lumen sizes, voltage range, flow rates, droplet rate and drop distance to create 2-compartment hydrogel capsule compositions in which the majority (e.g., at least 80%, 85%, 90% or more) of the capsules are within 10% of the target size and have a sphere-like shape. After exhausting the first and second volumes of polymer solution, the droplets may be allowed to crosslink in the crosslinking solution for certain amount of time, e.g., about five minutes. Crosslinking may entail ionic crosslinking (e.g., by contacting the droplets with an ionic crosslinking agent, e.g., a divalent cation) and / or covalent crosslinking (e.g., by irradiating the droplets to activatea photoactive crosslinking agent, e.g., methacrylate or methacrylamide). Exemplary process parameters for preparing a composition of millicapsules (e.g., 1.5 mm diameter millicapsules) include the following. A coaxial needle is disposed above the surface of the cross-linking solution at a distance sufficient to provide a drop distance from the needle tip to the solution surface. In an embodiment, the distance between the needle tip and the solution surface is between 1 to 5 cm. In an embodiment, the first and second polymer solutions are extruded through the needle with a total flow rate of between 0.05 mL / min to 5 mL / min, or 0.05 mL / min to 2.5 mL / min, or 0.05 mL / min to about 1 mL / min, or 0.05 mL / min to 0.5 mL / min, or 0.1 mL / min to 0.5 mL / min. In an embodiment, the first and second polymer solutions are extruded through the needle with a total flow rate of about 0.05 mL / min, 0.1 mL / min, 0.15 mL / min, 0.2 mL / min, 0.25 mL / min, 0.3 mL / min, 0.35 mL / min, 0.4 mL / min, 0.45 mL / min, or 0.5 mL / min. In an embodiment, the flow rate of the first and second polymer solutions through the needle are substantially the same. In an embodiment, the flow rate of the first and second polymer solutions through the needle are different. In an embodiment, the voltage of the instrument is between 1 kV to 20kV, or 1 to 15 kV, or 1 kV to 10 kV, or 5 kV to 10 kV. The voltage may be adjusted until a desired droplet rate is reached. In an embodiment, the droplet rate of the instrument is between 1 droplet / 10 seconds to 50 droplets / 10 seconds, or 1 droplet / 10 seconds to 25 droplets / 10 seconds. In an embodiment, the number of non-particle debris on the surface of the cross-linking solution is determined. Hydrogel capsules that have fallen to the bottom of the cross-linking vessel may then be collected, e.g., by transferring cross-linking solution containing the hydrogel capsule to a separate container, leaving behind any non-particle debris on the solution surface in the original cross-linking vessel. The removed hydrogel capsule may then be allowed to settle, the cross-linking solution can be removed, and the hydrogel capsule may then be washed one or more times with a buffer (e.g., a HEPES buffer). In an embodiment, one or more aliquots of the resulting hydrogel capsule composition (e.g., preparation of hydrogel capsule) is inspected by microscopy to assess the quality of the composition, e.g., the number of hydrogel capsule defects and satellite hydrogel capsule. In some embodiments, the cross-linking solution further comprises a process additive (e.g., a hydrophilic, non-ionic surfactant). A process additive may reduce surface tension of the cross-linking solution.

In an embodiment, the buffer is compatible with a biological material to be encapsulated in the particle, e.g., cells. In some embodiments, the buffer in the aqueous cross-linking solution comprises HEPES (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid). The osmolarity-adjusting agent in the aqueous cross-linking solution is selected to maintain the solution osmolarity at a value similar to the osmolarity of the polymer solution (which in some embodiments comprises a suspension of cells), e.g., an osmolarity that has a higher or lower variance of up to 20%, 10% or 5%.

Nova Matrix PRONOVATMUP LG20 (300 g; 1.25% w / w in water, 3.75 g sodium alginate) was weighed into a 400 mL EasyMax reactor (Mettler Toledo)equipped with overhead stirring. In a separate 150 mL sterile container was massed 4-((1-(2-(2-(2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl)-1H-1,2,3- triazol-4-yl)methyl)thiomorpholine 1,1-dioxide (5.77 g, 14.74 mmol) along with endotoxin free water (20 g) and mixed on a shaker at 300 rpm until fully dissolved. Once dissolved, the pH was adjusted to pH 7.0 with 6N and 1N hydrochloric acid and charged to the EasyMax reactor. Agitation was set at 300 rpm, and the batch temperature adjusted to 25˚C. In a separate 150 mL container was massed 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride (3.88 g, 14.02 mmol) along with endotoxin free water (45 g) and mixed by hand until fully dissolved. The solution was then added to the EasyMax reactor over a period of two minutes. Once the addition was complete, the batch was heated to 35˚C in 1 hour, held at 35˚C for 15 hours before being cooled back down to 25 ˚C. Once the reaction was complete, the batch was filtered through a pad of cyano-silica prior to purification via tangential flow filtration (10 kDa molecular weight cutoff). The solution was first purified against 10 volume exchanges with normal saline followed by 10 volume exchanges with endotoxin free water. After purification, the solution was concentrated to a refractive index value of 1.3360 and charged back into the 400 mL EasyMax reactor. Agitation was set to 300 rpm and the batch temperature was adjusted to 25 ˚C. In a separate sterile container, N-(3-aminopropryl)- methacrylamide hydrochloride (0.943 g, 5.28 mmol) was weighed and dissolved in 1M MES pH 7.0 buffer (7.5 mL) and then charged to the reactor.4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4- methylmorpholinium chloride (1.61 g, 5.82 mmol) was weighed in a sterile container and dissolved in 1M MES pH 7.0 buffer (10 mL) and then added to the reactor over two minutes. Once the charge was complete, the reaction mixture was heated to 35 °C in 1 hour, held at 35 °C for 15 hours before being cooled back to 25 °C. The reaction mixture was purified via tangential flow filtration (10 kDa molecular weight cutoff) against 10 volumes exchanges with saline. After purification, the solution was concentrated to a refractive index value of 1.3380. A 0.5 mL sample was placed into a glass scintillation vial, along with ~1-2 milligrams of lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP) initiator. The LAP was dissolved and then the solution was exposed to 390 nm light for 1 minute to result in the formation of a hydrogel to confirm the presence of the methacrylamide functionality on the polymer. Example 2: Synthesis of sodium alginate with a photoactive crosslinker and a compound of Formula (I) In this example, alginate hydrogels comprising both a photoactive crosslinker (methacrylate) and an exemplary compound of Formula (I) are synthesized.302 grams of Nova Matrix PRONOVATMUP LG20 (1.25% w / w in water, 3.75 g sodium alginate, ~18.8mmol - COOH) was weighed into a 400 mL EasyMax reactor equipped with overhead stirring. In a separate 150 mL sterile container was massed 4-((1-(2-(2-(2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)- ethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)thiomorpholine-1,1-dioxide (5.76 g, 14.74 mmol) along with endotoxin free water (20 g) and mixed on a shaker at 300 rpm until fully dissolved. Once dissolved, the pH was adjusted to pH 7.0 with 6N and 1N hydrochloric acid and charged to the EasyMax reactor. Agitation was set at 300 rpm, and the batch temperature adjusted to 25 ˚C.
