A breakthrough for drug delivery into tumours using LifeTein cell penetrating peptides

Biotin labeled peptides were synthesized by LifeTein and conjugated with nanoparticles. A 6-amino-hexanoic linker was added between biotin and peptide to form a flexible space. It was found that a peptide designed for tumour-homing with a carboxy-terminal, basic sequence motif can act as cell penetration peptide to enter tumour tissue. This is a breakthrough for drug delivery into tumours. In addition, this neuropilins mediated endocytosis is distinct from known endocytic pathways. The nutrient regulation of the pathway is a new finding to use of the C-terminal, basic sequence motif  pathway in drug delivery.
