Peptoid transporters: effects of cationic, amphipathic structure on their cellular uptake.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two cationic, amphipathic peptoids (poly-N-substituted glycines) were developed as new molecular transporters, which have extensive cellullar uptake and utilize different internalization mechanisms from purely cationic polyguanidine comparators.

The design, synthesis, and evaluation of molecules that enable or enhance cellular uptake: peptoid molecular transporters.
Certain proteins contain subunits that enable their active translocation across the plasma membrane into cells. In the specific case of HIV-1, this subunit is the basic domain Tat(49-57) (RKKRRQRRR). To establish the optimal structural requirements for this translocation process, and thereby to develop improved molecular transporters that could deliver agents into cells, a series of analogues o...
متن کاملLearning from Host-Defense Peptides: Cationic, Amphipathic Peptoids with Potent Anticancer Activity
Cationic, amphipathic host defense peptides represent a promising group of agents to be developed for anticancer applications. Poly-N-substituted glycines, or peptoids, are a class of biostable, peptidomimetic scaffold that can display a great diversity of side chains in highly tunable sequences via facile solid-phase synthesis. Herein, we present a library of anti-proliferative peptoids that m...
متن کاملEffect of side chain hydrophobicity and cationic charge on antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of helical peptoids.
Peptoids are peptidomimetic polymers that are resistant to proteolysis and less prone to immune responses; thus, they can provide a practical alternative to peptides. Among the various therapeutic applications that have been explored, cationic amphipathic peptoids have demonstrated broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, including activity towards drug-resistant bacterial strains. While their po...
متن کاملProstate tumor specific peptide-peptoid hybrid prodrugs.
Inspired by naturally occurring host defense peptides, cationic amphipathic peptoids provide a promising scaffold for anti-cancer therapeutics. Herein, we report a library of peptide-peptoid hybrid prodrugs that can be selectively activated by prostate cancer cells. We have identified several compounds demonstrating potent anti-cancer activity with good to moderate selectivity. We believe that ...
متن کاملConvergent synthesis and cellular uptake of multivalent cell penetrating peptides derived from Tat, Antp, pVEC, TP10 and SAP.
Cell penetrating peptides (CPP) are peptides of 10 to 30 residues derived from natural translocating proteins. Multivalency is known to enhance cellular uptake for the Tat peptide and closely related polycationic sequences. To test whether multivalency effects on cellular uptake might also occur with other CPP types, we prepared multivalent versions of the strongly cationic Tat, the amphipathic...
