The Activity Data of This Peptide
Peptide Activity Information 1 [1]
Binding constant 240 nM
Binding Affinity Assay
Octet binding studies required biotinylation of Cltx and derived peptides for loading onto streptavidin biosensors. Trypsin, (Promega Cat# V5280) (&tide; 40 μg/mL) was added to Cltx biotinylated at K27 or N-terminus (10 mg/mL) and incubated for 24 h at 37 °C, pH 8.5. The resulting peptides were separated by preparative HPLC and peptide fragments were characterized by MALDI. Small linear Cltx-derived peptides were also synthesized by routine methods and were biotinylated at the N-terminus. In some cases, peptides were reduced with TCEP at pH 8 and the cysteine residues were capped using iodoacetamide.

Experiment 1 Reporting the Activity Data of This PDC [1]
Indication Tumor
Efficacy Data Tumor Growth Inhibition value (TGI)
5.45%
Administration Time 23days
Administration Dosage 1.25 mg/kg
MOA of PDC
Collectively, our data demonstrate that Cltx within ER-472 acts a cryptic peptide which is metabolized to peptides with C-terminal R-COOH in the tumor microenvironment. These peptides bind to tumor cell NRP1 to increase drug uptake, which consequently boosts the antitumor effect.
Description
At the MTD dose, ER-472 treatment resulted in significant antitumor activity in all 3 models, but at 1/2 MTD no antitumor activity was observed in MIA PaCa-2 or BxPC-3 xenografts. In contrast, a much wider therapeutic window was observed for ER-472 in PC-3 xenografts: tumor regression and several tumor cures were observed at 1/2 MTD and significant antitumor activity was also recorded at the 1/4 MTD dose.
