MOA of PDC
In this study, cLABL and cLBEL peptides were linked to methotrexate (MTX) to produce MTX-cLABL and MTX-cLBEL conjugates. The goal was to target MTX to human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) via the ICAM-1 receptor to lower MTX toxicity and side effects. The biological abilities of MTX-cLABL, MTX-cLBEL, cLABL, cLBEL, and MTX were compared by their activities to inhibit binding of anti-ICAM-1 mAb to ICAM-1 on the surface of HCAEC. In addition, these molecules were compared in inhibiting T cell adhesion to HCAEC monolayers. Finally, their activities in suppressing IL-6 and IL-8 production as inflammatory cytokines were determined. The toxicities of MTX-cLABL and MTX-cLBEL conjugates were also determined relative to MTX alone as well as cLABL and cLBEL peptides.

Description
We next determined whether treatment of HCAEC and Molt-3 T cells with peptides, MTX, and MTX-peptide conjugates resulted in inhibition of cell proliferation. Both HCAEC and Molt-3 T cells were affected by test compound in different levels. None of the molecules caused growth stimulation or total culture extinction. A net cell killing of HCAEC was observed upon treatment with MTX at all test concentrations while MTX affected net killing at ≥1.0 uM in Molt-3 T cells. The MTX-peptide conjugates were less toxic than MTX. In HCAEC, the net cell killing was at lower concentration for MTX at ≥0.1 uM compared to MTX-peptide conjugates at ≥500 uM. The net cell killing of Molt-3 T cells was found at ≥1.0 uM for MTX and ≥50 uM for MTX-peptide conjugates. For all test concentrations, the conjugates only resulted in HCAEC partial growth inhibition. For Molt-3 T cells, a total growth inhibition emerged at 100 uM for cLABL and cLBEL; however, 500 uM cLABL and cLBEL did not cause total cell killing for T cells.
