Reversibly Switching Bilayer Permeability and Release Modules of Photochromic Polymersomes Stabilized by Cooperative Noncovalent Interactions
Open accessAbstract
We report on the fabrication of photochromic polymersomes exhibiting photoswitchable and reversible bilayer permeability from newly designed poly(ethylene oxide)-b-PSPA (PEO-b-PSPA) diblock copolymers, where SPA is spiropyran (SP)-based monomer containing a unique carbamate linkage. Upon self-assembling into polymersomes, SP moieties within vesicle bilayers undergo reversible phototriggered isomerization between hydrophobic spiropyran (SP, λ2 > 450 nm irradiation) and zwitterionic merocyanine (MC, λ1 < 420 nm irradiation) states. For both SP and MC polymersomes, their microstructures are stabilized by multiple cooperative noncovalent interactions including hydrophobic, hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, and paired electrostatic (zwitterionic) interactions, with the latter two types being exclusive for MC polymersomes. Control experiments using analogous block copolymers of hydrophobic SP monomer with a carbonate linkage (SPO) and conventional spiropyran methacrylate monomer (SPMA) containing a single ester functionality were then conducted, revealing that carbamate-incurred hydrogen bonding interactions in PEO-b-PSPA are crucial for polymersome stabilization in the zwitterionic MC state. Moreover, reversible phototriggered SP-to-MC polymersome transition is accompanied by membrane polarity and permeability switching from being nonimpermeable to selectively permeable toward noncharged, charged, and zwitterionic small molecule species below critical molar masses. Intriguingly, UV-actuated MC polymersomes possess two types of release modules: (1) sustained release upon short UV irradiation duration by taking advantage of the unexpectedly slow spontaneous MC-to-SP transition kinetics (t1/2 > 20 h) under dark conditions; (2) on-demand and switchable release under alternated UV-vis light irradiation. We further demonstrate photoswitchable spatiotemporal release of 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, cell nuclei-staining dye) within living HeLa cells.

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.
