MOA of PDC
In this study, we developed novel melittin analogs with pH-responsive cell-penetrating and membrane-lytic activities by replacing arginines and lysines with histidines. Importantly, we found that the conjugation of cargoes to the N-terminus of melittin analogs decreased their cell-penetrating and membrane-lytic activity compared to the C-terminus, implying that the C-terminus of analogs is more suitable for cargo conjugation. After the attachment of CPT, CPT-AAM-1 and CPT-AAM-2 displayed obvious pH-responsive antitumor activity. CPT-AAM-1 and CPT-AAM-2 destroyed tumor cells through the release of CPT and membrane disruption. Compared with CPT-AAM-2, CPT-AAM-1 showed stronger antitumor activity under acidic conditions. Notably, CPT-AAM-1 significantly inhibited the tumor growth in vivo compared with AAM, AAM-1, and CPT. In addition, CPT-AAM-1 showed relatively low toxicity compared with melittin and CPT. Taken together, our results demonstrate that CPT-AAM-1, with efficient pH-responsive cell-penetrating and membrane-lytic activities, possesses significant therapeutic potential for tumor therapy. This study provides a novel strategy for the development of PDCs based on pH-responsive AMPs for oncology therapeutics.

Description
Subsequently, the cytotoxicity of these conjugates against B16-F10 cells was determined. As shown in Fig. 4B, CPT-AAM-1 and CPT-AAM-2 displayed significant pH-dependent antitumor activity after 72 h of treatment, whereas the cytotoxicity of CPT showed no obvious difference at pH 7.4 and 5.5. Notably, CPT-AAM-1 and CPT-AAM-2 exhibited greater cytotoxicity than free CPT under acidic conditions, particularly at high concentrations. Compared to CPT-AAM-2, CPT-AAM-1 displayed strong antitumor activity, suggesting that AAM-1 could deliver more CPT molecules into cells. In addition, this result further demonstrates that the C-terminus of AAM is more suitable for drug conjugation than the N-terminus.
