The Activity Data of This Peptide
Peptide Activity Information 1 [1]
IC50 2.5 ± 0.2 nM
Binding Affinity Assay
Human integrin receptors avb3 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and avb5 (EMD Millipore Corporation, Inc., Temecula, CA, USA) were diluted to 0.5 μg/mL in coating buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM MnCl2, 2 mM CaCl2, and 1 mM MgCl2. An aliquot of diluted receptor (100 μL/well) was added to 96-well microtiter plates (Nunc MaxiSorp, Termo Fisher Scientific, Roskilde, DK) and incubated overnight at 4 °C. The plates were incubated with blocking solution (coating buffer plus 1% bovine serum albumin) for additional 2 h at room temperature to block nonspecific binding. After washing 2 times with blocking solution, plates were incubated shaking in the dark for 3 h at room temperature, with various concentrations (10-5-10-12 M) of test compounds in the presence of 1 μg/mL vitronectin (Molecular Innovations, Novi, MI, USA) biotinylated using an EZ-Link Sulfo-NHS-Biotinylation kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA). After washing 3 times, the plates were incubated shaking for 1 h in the dark, at room temperature, with streptavidin-biotinylated peroxidase complex (Amersham Biosciences, Uppsala, Sweden). After washing 3 times with blocking solution, plates were incubated with 100 μL/well of Substrate Reagent Solution (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) for 30 min shaking in the dark, before stopping the reaction with the addition of 50 μL/well 2 N H2SO4. Absorbance at 415 nm was read in a Synergy HT Multi-Detection Microplate Reader (BioTek Instruments, Inc.). Each data point represents the average of triplicate wells; data analysis was carried out by nonlinear regression analysis with GraphPad Prism software. Each experiment was repeated in duplicate.

More specifically, compounds1band3bdemonstrated significantly higher activity against U87 cells compared to MCF-7 and HT-29 cells (Figure6). Importantly,1bwas more active than3bdemonstrating that the attached CPP is indeed necessary to increase the overall cellular uptake and thus cytotoxic activity of the conjugates. Of note is also that2bwas less efficient than1bbut marginally more active than3b, although with no selectivity. For the two conjugates bearing the GFLG motif, it was seen that3cis still significantly more active in U87 cells expressing integrin receptors.
