Hormone delivery: small synthetic molecular mimics.
Since the experimental intravenous injections of pancreatic extracts into animal models of diabetes in 1912 by Scott (1), and after the purification of insulin by Banting, Best and Collip in 1921, it remained unclear why oral administration of these extracts or insulin had no effect, until finally in 1925 Macleod showed that insulin was a peptide destroyed by proteolytic enzymes in the digestiv...
متن کاملSynthetic Protein Mimics for Functional Protein Delivery.
The use of proteins as biological tools and therapeutic agents is limited due to the fact that proteins do not effectively cross the plasma membrane of cells. Here, we report a novel class of protein transporter molecules based on protein transduction domain mimics (PTDMs) synthesized via ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). The PTDMs reported here were specifically inspired by amphip...
متن کاملSynthetic mimics of small Mammalian cell surface receptors.
Receptors on the surface of mammalian cells promote the uptake of cell-impermeable ligands by receptor-mediated endocytosis. To mimic this process, we synthesized small molecules designed to project anti-dinitrophenyl antibody-binding motifs from the surface of living Jurkat lymphocytes. These synthetic receptors comprise N-alkyl derivatives of 3beta-cholesterylamine as the plasma membrane anch...
متن کاملSynthetic Peptides as Protein Mimics
The design and generation of molecules capable of mimicking the binding and/or functional sites of proteins represents a promising strategy for the exploration and modulation of protein function through controlled interference with the underlying molecular interactions. Synthetic peptides have proven an excellent type of molecule for the mimicry of protein sites because such peptides can be gen...
متن کاملDevelopment of protein mimics for intracellular delivery.
Designing delivery agents for therapeutics is an ongoing challenge. As treatments and desired cargoes become more complex, the need for improved delivery vehicles becomes critical. Excellent delivery vehicles must ensure the stability of the cargo, maintain the cargo's solubility, and promote efficient delivery and release. In order to address these issues, many research groups have looked to n...
