- Mitochondrial heat shock protein-guided photodynamic therapy
-
Mitochondria targeting sensitizers are continuing to gain importance in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Members of the 90 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90) family, including TRAP1 (Hsp75), are overexpressed in cancer cells and help to control the antiapoptotic protein activity. The present work introduces an Hsp90 inhibitor-mitochondria targeting indocyanine dye conjugate (IR-PU) for high PDT efficacy.

- Interrogating the Role of Receptor-Mediated Mechanisms: Biological Fate of Peptide-Functionalized Radiolabeled Gold Nanoparticles in Tumor Mice
-
(Graph Presented) To get a better insight on the transport mechanism of peptide-conjugated nanoparticles to tumors, we performed in vivo biological studies of bombesin (BBN) peptide functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in human prostate tumor bearing mice. Initially, we sought to compare AuNPs with thiol derivatives of acyclic and macrocyclic chelators of DTPA and DOTA types. The DTPA derivatives were unable to provide a stable coordination of 67Ga, and therefore, the functionalization with the BBN analogues was pursued for the DOTA-containing AuNPs. The DOTA-coated AuNPs were functionalized with BBN[7-14] using a unidentate cysteine group or a bidentate thioctic group to attach the peptide. AuNPs functionalized with thioctic-BBN displayed the highest in vitro cellular internalization (≈ 25%, 15 min) in gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) receptor expressing cancer cells. However, these results fail to translate to in vivo tumor uptake. Biodistribution studies following intravenous (IV) and intraperitoneal (IP) administration of nanoconjugates in tumor bearing mice indicated that the presence of BBN influences to some degree the biological profile of the nanoconstructs. For IV administration, the receptor-mediated pathway appears to be outweighed by the EPR effect. By contrast, in IP administration, it is reasoned that the GRPr-mediated mechanism plays a role in pancreas uptake.

- Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Lipopeptide Conjugates of Mercaptoundecahydrododecaborate for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
-
We developed new 10B carriers for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) that can effectively transport and accumulate boron clusters into cells. These carriers consist of a lipopeptide, mercaptoundecahydrododecaborate (BSH), and a disulfide linker. The carriers were conceived according to the structure of pepducin, a membrane-penetrating lipopeptide targeting protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1). To improve the membrane permeability of BSH, the structure was optimized using various lipopeptides possessing different peptides and lipid moieties. These synthesized lipopeptides were conjugated with BSH and evaluated for intracellular uptake using T98G glioblastoma cells. Among them, the most effectively incorporated and accumulated in the cells was compound 5 a, which contains a peptide of 13 residues derived from the intracellular third loop of PAR1 and a palmitoyl group. For further improvement of 10B accumulation in cells, the introduction of an amine linker was investigated; intracellular uptake similar to that of 5 a was observed for compound 14, which has a piperazine linker. Both compounds 5 a and 14 showed a stronger radiosensitizing effect than BSH along on T98G cells under mixed-neutron beam irradiation. The results demonstrate that lipopeptide conjugation is effective for enhancing intracellular delivery and accumulation of BSH and improving the cytotoxic effect of BNCT.

- FRET-based imaging of transbilayer movement of pepducin in living cells by novel intracellular bioreductively activatable fluorescent probes
-
To elucidate the mechanisms of direct transmembrane penetration of pepducins, which are artificial lipopeptide G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) modulators, we developed two types of FRET-based probes, Pep13-FL-SS-Dab (13) targeting the inner leaflet of the lipid bilayer and Pep13-Dab-SS-FL (14) targeting the cytosol, respectively. They are composed of a pepducin moiety and a fluorescent switch component consisting of 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (FAM) as a fluorophore and dabcyl as a quencher connected through disulfide bond linkage. When they are internalized into the cytosol, intracellular glutathione can cleave the disulfide bond to release the quencher, which results in a turn-on fluorescence signal. Using these probes, we performed live cell imaging of transbilayer movements of pepducins on MCF-7 cells for the first time. The results suggested that the lipid moiety of the probes facilitated pepducin flipping across and tethering to the membrane. The present study raises the possibility of applying the probe architecture for direct intracellular drug delivery. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013.

- DNA-Binding Compounds. III Synthesis of a Peptide-Linked Binuclear Platinum(II)-Terpyridine Complex
-
A procedure has been developed for linking two terpyridineplatinum(II), Pt(tpy), chromophores by an oligopeptide chain.It relies on the use of a new reagent, succinimido 3-(triphenylmethylthio)propanoate (2), to acylate the amino end groups of an α,ω-diaminoalkane peptide.Subsequent deprotection of the sulfhydryl groups and coupling with IICl>Cl yields the binuclear complexes in good yields.This procedure allowed the synthesis of Cl2 (5b).
