Two small-molecule-drug conjugates (SMDCs, 6 and 7) featuring lysosomally cleavable linkers (namely the Val-Ala and Phe-Lys peptide sequences) were synthesized by conjugation of the αvβ3-integrin ligand cyclo[DKP-RGD]-CH2NH2 (2) to the anticancer drug paclitaxel (PTX). A third cyclo[DKP-RGD]-PTX conjugate with a nonpeptide "uncleavable" linker (8) was also synthesized to be tested as a negative control. These three SMDCs were able to inhibit biotinylated vitronectin binding to the purified αVβ3-integrin receptor at nanomolar concentrations and showed good stability at pH 7.4 and pH 5.5. Cleavage of the two peptide linkers was observed in the presence of lysosomal enzymes, whereas conjugate 8, which possesses a nonpeptide "uncleavable" linker, remained intact under these conditions. The antiproliferative activities of the conjugates were evaluated against two isogenic cell lines expressing the integrin receptor at different levels: the acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line CCRF-CEM (αVβ3-) and its subclone CCRF-CEM αVβ3 (αVβ3+). Fairly effective integrin targeting was displayed by the cyclo[DKP-RGD]-Val-Ala-PTX conjugate (6), which was found to differentially inhibit proliferation in antigen-positive CCRF-CEM αVβ3 versus antigen-negative isogenic CCRF-CEM cells. The total lack of activity displayed by the "uncleavable" cyclo[DKP-RGD]-PTX conjugate (8) clearly demonstrates the importance of the peptide linker for achieving the selective release of the cytotoxic payload.

The first total syntheses of naturally occurring cyclodepsipeptides Hikiamides A–C are described. The key linear pentapeptide precursors, prepared efficiently via Fmoc-solid-phase synthesis, were cyclized in dilute solution to provide the target Hikiamide
Efficient and facile formation of two-component nanoparticles via aromatic moiety directed self-assembly
Wang, Weiping,Chau, Ying

Here we present a two-component self-assembling system employing the interaction of aromatic groups (Fmoc) to construct nanoparticles. Spherical particles of around 70 nm were formed spontaneously by a simple trigonal Fmoc-conjugate, which were then stabi

Enzyme-responsive, hybrid, magnetic silica nanoparticles have been employed for multifunctional applications in selective drug delivery and intracellular tumor imaging. In this study, doxorubicin (Dox)-conjugated, enzyme-cleavable peptide precursors were covalently tethered onto the surface of uniform silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles through click chemistry. This enzyme-responsive nanoparticle conjugate demonstrated highly efficient Dox release upon specific enzyme interactions in vitro. It also exhibits multiple functions in selective tumor intracellular drug delivery and imaging in the tumor cells with high cathepsin B expression, whereas it exhibited lower cytotoxicity towards other cells without enzyme expression.

Exploration of the full potential of thioamide substitution as a tool in the chemical biology of peptides and proteins has been hampered by insufficient synthetic strategies for the site-specific introduction of a thioamide bond into a peptide backbone. A novel ynamide-mediated two-step strategy for thiopeptide bond formation with readily available monothiocarboxylic acids as thioacyl donors is described. The α-thioacyloxyenamide intermediates formed from the ynamides and monothiocarboxylic acids can be purified, characterized, and stored. The balance between their activity and stability enables them to act as effective thioacylating reagents to afford thiopeptide bonds under mild reaction conditions. Amino acid functional groups such as OH, CONH2, and indole NH groups need not be protected during thiopeptide synthesis. The modular nature of this strategy enables the site-specific incorporation of a thioamide bond into peptide backbones in both solution and the solid phase.
POLYCONJUGATES FOR DELIVERY OF RNAI TRIGGERS TO TUMOR CELLS IN VIVO

Page/Page column 36, (2015/02/25)
The present invention is directed compositions for delivery of RNA interference (RNAi) triggers to integrin positive tumor cells in vivo. The compositions comprise RGD ligand- targeted amphipathic membrane active polyamines reversibly modified with enzyme cleavable dipeptide-amidobenzyl-carbonate masking agents. Modification masks membrane activity of the polymer while reversibility provides physiological responsiveness. The reversibly modified polyamines (dynamic polyconjugate or conjugate) are further covalently linked to an RNAi trigger.
