چکیده
Redesigning linear cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) into a multi-branched topology with short dipeptide branches gave cell penetrating peptide dendrimers (CPPDs) with higher cell penetration, lower toxicity and hemolysis and higher serum stability than linear CPPs. Their use is demonstrated by delivering a cytotoxic peptide and paclitaxel into cells.

Intracellular Delivery of Histidine and Arginine Rich Cell Penetrating Peptides into HeLa cell Line
Most bioactive macromolecules, such as DNA and RNA, cannot permeate into cells freely from outside the plasma membrane. Cell penetrating peptides are a group of short peptide sequences that are able to transverse the cell membrane for mediating gene into living cells. In this study we demonstrate two cell penetrating peptides 5H-R9-C and 7H-R9-7H-C. These peptides are synthesized by solid phase...
متن کاملUsing the peptide BP100 as a cell-penetrating tool for the chemical engineering of actin filaments within living plant cells.
The delivery of externally applied macromolecules or nanoparticles into living cells still represents a critically limiting step before the full capabilities of chemical engineering can be explored. Molecular transporters such as cell-penetrating peptides, peptoids, and other mimetics can be used to carry cargo across the cellular membrane, but it is still difficult to find suitable sequences t...
متن کاملCell-penetrating peptides and their analogues as novel nanocarriers for drug delivery
INTRODUCTION The impermeability of biological membranes is a major obstacle in drug delivery; however, some peptides have transition capabilities of biomembranes. In recent decades, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have been introduced as novel biocarriers that are able to translocate into the cells. CPPs are biologically potent tools for non-invasive cellular internalization of cargo molecules...
متن کاملEffects of Surface Charge and Particle Size of Cell-Penetrating Peptide/Nanoparticle Complexes on Cellular Internalization
Cell membranes are natural barriers that prevent macromolecules from permeating cells. The efficiency of exogenous materials entering cells relies on various strategies and factors. Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are distinctive molecules that can penetrate cells by themselves, as well as carry cargoes into cells in both covalent and noncovalent manners. In this chapter, we use CPP-mediated d...
متن کاملCell-penetrating peptides in protein mimicry and oligonucleotide delivery Applications and mechanisms
The plasma membrane separates the interior and exterior of the cell by functioning as a barrier, which regulates and restricts entry of molecules into the cell. Consequently, the plasma membrane imposes a major hurdle for passage of many hydrophilic pharmaceutical agents into the cell. A group of peptides, denoted cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) was found about a decade ago to be able to trans...
