Synthesis and Applications of Cellulose Derivatives for Drug Delivery Synthesis and Applications of Cellulose Derivatives for Drug Delivery Joyann Audrene Marks Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Macromolecular Science and Engineering Kevin J. Edgar, Chair Maren Roman Lynne S. Taylor Judy S. Riffle S. Richard Turner August 5, 2015 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: pairwise blends, amorphous solid dispersion, oral drug delivery, cellulose esters, bioavailability, cationic cellulose, extrusion Copyright © 2015 by Joyann A. Marks Synthesis and Applications of Cellulose Derivatives for Drug Delivery Joyann Audrene Marks ABSTRACT In an effort to produce new derivatives of cellulose for drug delivery applications, methods were developed to regioselectively modify C-6 halo cellulose esters to produce cationic derivatives via nucleophilic substitution. Reaction of C-6 substituted bromo and iodo cellulose with trialkylated amines and phosphines produced new cationic ammonium and phosphonium cellulose derivatives which can be explored as delivery agents for nucleic acids, proteins and other anionic drug molecules. It was anticipated that these new derivatives would not only be capable of complexing anionic drug molecules but would have greatly improved aqueous solubility compared to their precursors. The phosphonium derivatives described in this work are an obvious example of such improved solubility properties. Given the importance of cellulose derivatives in making amorphous dispersions with critical drugs, it has also been important to analyze commercially available polymers for the potential impact in oral drug delivery formulations. To do so pairwise blends of cellulosics and synthetic polymers commonly used as excipients were tested for miscibility using techniques such as DSC, mDSC, FTIR and film clarity. Miscible combinations highlight the potential to use combinations of polymers currently available commercially to provide drug delivery solutions for specific drug formulations. The use of melt extrusion in processing some of these drug/polymer dispersions provides a means of highlighting the capability for the use of these cellulosics in melt extruded amorphous dispersions. This solvent free, high pressure method significantly reduces cost and time and can be applied on a large scale. The analysis of long chain cellulose esters and ultimately the novel omega carboxy esters for melt processability significantly impacts the possibilities available for use of those excellent drug delivery agents on a much larger scale.

Richard Turner December 2, 2013 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: cellulose ω-carboxyesters, amorphous solid dispersion, amphiphilicity, structure- property relationship, oral drug delivery Copyright © 2013 by Haoyu Liu Synthesis and Structure-property Evaluation of Novel Cellulosic Polymers as Amorphous Solid Dispersion Matrices for Enhanced Oral Drug Delivery Haoyu Liu ABSTRACT The use of amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) is an effective and increasingly widely adopted approach for solubility and bioavailability enhancement of hydrophobic drugs. Cellulose derivatives have strong potential as ASD polymers. We demonstrate herein design, synthesis and structure-property relationship characterization of a new series of organo-soluble cellulose ω- carboxyalkanoates for ASDs, by two different synthetic approaches. These carboxyl-containing cellulose mixed-esters possessed relatively high Tg values with sufficient ∆T versus ambient temperature, useful to prevent drug mobility and crystallization during storage or transport. Screening experiments were utilized to study the impact of ASD polymers including our new family of cellulose ω-carboxyesters on both nucleation induction time and crystal growth rate of three poorly soluble model drugs from supersaturated solutions. Attributed to relatively rigid structures and bulky substituent groups, cellulose derivatives were more significant crystallization inhibitors compared to the synthetic polymers. The effective cellulose ω-carboxyesters were identified as possessing a similar hydrophobicity to the drug molecule and high number of ionization groups.

Committee Chairperson: Prof. Ingo Pinnau Committee Members: Prof. Yu Han, Prof. Mohamed Eddaoudi, Prof. Sandra Kentish. 3 ABSTRACT Development of State-Of-The-Art Interfacially Polymerized Defect-Free Thin-Film Composite Membranes for Gas- and Liquid-Separations Zain Ali This research was undertaken to develop state-of-the-art interfacially polymerized (IP) defect-free thin-film composite (TFC) membranes and understand their structure-function- performance relationships. Recent research showed the presence of defects in interfacially polymerized commercial membranes which potentially deter performance in liquid separations and render the membranes inadequate for gas separations. Firstly, a modified method (named KRO1) was developed to fabricate interfacially polymerized defect-free TFCs using m-phenylene diamine (MPD) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC). The systematic study revealed the ability to heal defects in-situ by tweaking the reaction time along with considerably improving the membrane crosslinking by controlling the organic solution temperature. The two discoveries were combined to produce highly crosslinked, defect-free MPD-TMC polyamide membranes which showed exceptional performance for separating H2 from CO2. Permeance and pure-gas selectivity of the membrane increased with temperature. H2 permeance of 350 GPU and H2/CO2 selectivity of ~100 at 140 °C were obtained, the highest reported performance for this application using polymeric materials to date.

ABSTRACT The current scenario in tissue engineering research demands materials of requisite properties, viz., high porosity, me- chanical stability, thermal stability, biocompatibility and biodegradability for clinical applications. However, bringing these properties in single biomaterial is a challenging task, which needs intensive research on suitable cross-linking agents. In the present study, 3D scaffold was prepared with above said properties using chitosan and oxalic (O), malonic (M), succinic (S), glutaric (G), adipic (A), pimelic (P), suberic (SU), azelaic (AZ) and sebacic (SE) acid (OMS- GAP-SAS) individually as a non covalent cross-linkers as well as the solvent for chitosan. Assessment on degree of cross-linking, mechanical strength, FT-IR analysis, morphological observation, thermal stability, binding interactions (molecular docking), in vitro biocompatibility and its efficacy as a wound dressing material were performed. Results revealed the degree of cross-linking for OMSGAP-SAS engineered chitosan were in the range between ≈55% - 65% and the biomaterial demonstrated thermal stability more than 300˚C and also exhibited ≥3 - 4 fold increase in mechani- cal strength compared to chitosan alone.
