Acetals as pH-Sensitive Linkages for Drug Delivery
Abstract
pH-Sensitive linkages designed to undergo hydrolysis at mildly acidic pH can trigger the release of therapeutics selectively at targets such as tumor and inflammatory tissues and in the endosomes and lysosomes of cells. Acetals have the potential to be used as linkages for a range of alcohol functionalities, and, by altering their chemical structure, it is possible to tune their hydrolysis rate. The syntheses of four conjugates of model drug molecules with PEO using acetals of varying chemical structure are described herein. Primary and secondary alcohols, as well as syn-1,2-diols, were incorporated in the conjugates. The hydrolysis kinetics were investigated by HPLC, and the conjugates had half-lives ranging from less than 1 min to several days at pH 5.0, with slower hydrolysis at pH 7.4 in all cases. These acetal linkages are therefore promising for use in a variety of drug delivery applications ranging from polymer-drug conjugates to pH-sensitive micelles and nanoparticulate systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
