OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to synthesize and characterize a novel NO donor, PEI-PO-NONOate, using propylene oxide and to investigate its biosafety and therapeutic efficacy via nasal administration in vitro and vivo.
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES: The PEI-PO-NONOate was synthesized based on polyethylenimine (PEI) with different molecular weights and characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. Cytotoxicity assays were performed on mouse fibroblast cells L929 and human nasal mucosa epithelial cells (HNEpC), and a rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was established to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of PEI-PO-NONOate via nasal administration.
RESULTS: The PEI-PO-NONOate was found to be stable under dark, dry, and airproof conditions, and its release was accelerated in an aqueous phase or acidic environment, while it was slowed down in a polyethylene glycol (PEG) mixture system. The NO donor released approximately 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 μmol of gaseous NO from 1.0 mg of the polymer based on PEI600, PEI1800, and PEI10K, respectively. Cytotoxicity assays showed that the PEI-PO-NONOates had a cryoprotective effect as compared with PEI and PEI-PO. Furthermore, nasal administration of PEI-PO-NONOates resulted in a significant reduction in overall necrotic ratio as compared with the control group (16.4% versus 24.6%, p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest that PEI-PO-NONOates may have potential as an adjuvant therapy for acute ischemic stroke when administered via the nasal route.
