Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are structurally diverse sophisticated tools endowed with high arginine content, amphipathicity, and well-adopted suitable secondary structures. Despite its capability of breaching the lipid barriers, CPP has major limitations such as in vivo metabolic instability, poor bioavailability, and reduced endosomal escape tendency, which are yet to be improved. In this context, we first have introduced a new class of cellular transporter having a guanidinium-functionalized δ-azaproline (δ-azp)-containing peptide where the δ-azp structurally resembles the proline amino acid having an additional N at the δ-position. This non-natural peptidic backbone was found to impart proteolytic stability, as reported earlier by our group. Herein, we report the synthesis of a flexible azaproline-tetraguanidinium transporter named FAT along with a revised scalable methodology for δ-azp compared to our previously reported procedure. FAT shows a random-coil-like structure as determined by CD spectroscopy, and is hence structurally different from the polyproline PPII helix. Direct translocation is predicted to be the possible mode of the cellular entrance of FAT into CHO cells when the Bodipy fluorophore is covalently attached as the cargo. Simultaneously, two other macromolecular therapeutics, e.g., proapoptotic domain peptide (PAD, a 14-mer peptide) and programmed death ligand 1 (PDL1) morpholino (a 25-mer antisense oligo), were successfully conjugated with FAT and delivered into human carcinoma cells, and their efficacy was analyzed by MTT assay and western blot technique, respectively. Having obtained promising results in internalizing different types of cargos, FAT could be envisaged as a potential drug delivery agent as an alternative to natural CPPs for future application.

Bivalent inhibitors for disrupting protein surface-substrate interactions and for dual inhibition of protein prenyltransferases

Low-molecular-weight compounds that disrupt protein-protein interactions (PPIs) have tremendous potential applications as clinical agents and as chemical probes for investigating intracellular PPI networks. However, disrupting PPIs is extremely difficult due to the large, flat interfaces of many proteins, which often lack structurally defined cavities to which drug-like molecules could bind in a thermodynamically favorable manner. Here, we describe a series of bivalent compounds that anchor to the enzyme active site to deliver a minimally sized surface-binding module to the targeted surface involved in transient PPI with a substrate. These compounds are capable of significantly inhibiting enzymatic reactions involving protein surface-substrate interaction in the single-digit nanomole range. Inhibitors of farnesyltransferase (FTase), which possesses a negatively charged local area on its α-subunit, were designed by attaching a module derived from a branched monoamine-containing gallate to a conventional active-site-directed CVTM tetrapeptide using an alkyl spacer. A significant improvement in inhibitory activity (>200-fold) against farnesylation of the K-Ras4B peptide was observed when the gallate module was attached to the CVTM tetrapeptide. Furthermore, the bivalent compounds had submicromolar inhibitory activity against geranylgeranylation of the K-Ras4B peptide catalyzed by GGTase I, which has an a-subunit identical to that of FTase. The anchoring strategy we describe would be useful for designing a new class of PPI inhibitors as well as dual enzyme inhibitors targeting common surface structures.
