文摘
Hydroxyapatite (HAP), a highly specific component of bone tissue, is the main target in order to impart osteotropicity. Bone targeted nanoparticles can increase the strength of the interaction with HAP through multivalency and thus constitute a valuable strategy in the therapeutics of skeletal diseases. PBLG10k-b-PEG6k-alendronate nanoparticles (鈭?5 nm) were prepared by a simple nanoprecipitation method. The calcium affinity (KCa+2 = 1.8 脳 104 M鈭?) of these nanoparticles was evaluated using isothermal titration calorimetry. The multivalent interaction with HAP surfaces (KHAP) was studied by fluorescence and was estimated to be 1.1 脳 1010 M鈭?, which is more than 4000 times stronger than the reported monovalent interaction between alendronate and HAP surfaces. Molecular modeling suggests that the number of binding sites available at the HAP surface is in large excess than what is required for the whole surface coverage by alendronate decorated nanoparticles. The lower calcium affinity of these nanoparticles than for HAP allows calcium bound nanoparticles to interact with HAP, which yields a deeper understanding of bone targeted carriers and could potentially improve their bone targeting properties.
