Styrene-maleic acid copolymers have received significant attention because of their ability to interact with lipid bilayers and form styrene-maleic acid copolymer lipid nanoparticles (SMALPs). However, these SMALPs are limited in their chem. diversity, with only Ph and carboxylic acid functional groups, resulting in limitations because of sensitivity to low pH and high concentrations of divalent metals. To address this limitation, various nucleophiles were reacted with the anhydride unit of well-defined styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers in order to assess the potential for a new lipid disk nanoparticle-forming species. These styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer derivatives (SMADs) can form styrene-maleic acid derivative lipid nanoparticles (SMADLPs) when they interact with lipid mols. Polymers were synthesized, purified, characterized by Fourier-transform IR spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatog., and NMR and then used to make disk-like SMADLPs, whose sizes were measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The SMADs form lipid nanoparticles, observable by DLS and transmission electron microscopy, and were used to reconstitute a spin-labeled transmembrane protein, KCNE1. The polymer method reported here is facile and scalable and results in functional and robust polymers capable of forming lipid nanodisks that are stable against a wide pH range and 100 mM magnesium.
