Cell-penetrating peptides, electroporation and drug delivery.
Certain short polycations, such as trans-activating transcriptional activator and oligoarginine, rapidly pass through the plasma membranes of mammalian cells by a mechanism called transduction, as well as by endocytosis and macropinocytosis. These cell-penetrating peptides can carry with them cargos of 30 amino acids, more than the nominal limit of 500 Da and enough to be therapeutic. An analys...
متن کاملCell-penetrating and cell-targeting peptides in drug delivery.
During the last decade, the potential of peptides for drug delivery into cells has been highlighted by the discovery of several cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs). CPPs are very efficient in delivering various molecules into cells. However, except in some specific cases, their lack of cell specificity remains the major drawback for their clinical development. At the same time, various peptides wi...
متن کاملCell penetrating and transytosing peptides: powerful strategies for oral insulin delivery
Insulin is essential for type 1 and advanced type 2 diabetes to maintain blood glucose levels and increase the patient’s longevity. Frequent subcutaneous insulin injections are usually associated with pain, local tissue necrosis, infection and nerve damage. Recently, a number of new delivery methods such as oral insulin delivery have been developed to overcome these limitations and increase pa...
متن کاملRational modifications of cell-penetrating peptides for drug delivery Applications in tumor targeting and oligonucleotide delivery
High molecular weight biomolecules are becoming increasingly important in the development of new therapeutics. However, the hydrophilic nature and size of such molecules creates a major limitation for their application – poor penetration through biological membranes. Over a decade ago, a new class of peptides, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), with membrane translocating ability, was discovered...
متن کاملCell-Penetrating Peptides for Antiviral Drug Development
Viral diseases affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide, and the few available drugs to treat these diseases often come with limitations. The key obstacle to the development of new antiviral agents is their delivery into infected cells in vivo. Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short peptides that can cross the cellular lipid bilayer with the remarkable capability to shuttle conjugate...
