Download or read book Intracellular Delivery written by Aleš Prokop and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-05-26 with total page 871 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book features a special subsection of Nanomedicine, an application of nanotechnology to achieve breakthroughs in healthcare. It exploits the improved and often novel physical, chemical and biological properties of materials only existent at the nanometer scale. As a consequence of small scale, nanosystems in most cases are efficiently uptaken by cells and appear to act at the intracellular level. Nanotechnology has the potential to improve diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of diseases, and includes targeted drug delivery and regenerative medicine; it creates new tools and methods that impact significantly upon existing conservative practices. This volume is a collection of authoritative reviews. In the introductory section we define the field (intracellular delivery). Then, the fundamental routes of nanodelivery devices, cellular uptake, types of delivery devices, particularly in terms of localized cellular delivery, both for small drug molecules, macromolecular drugs and genes; at the academic and applied levels, are covered. The following section is dedicated to enhancing delivery via special targeting motifs followed by the introduction of different types of intracellular nanodelivery devices (e.g. a brief description of their chemistry) and ways of producing these different devices. Finally, we put special emphasis on particular disease states and on other biomedical applications, whilst diagnostic and sensing issues are also included. Intracellular delivery / therapy is a highly topical which will stir great interest. Intracellular delivery enables much more efficient drug delivery since the impact (on different organelles and sites) is intracellular as the drug is not supplied externally within the blood stream. There is great potential for targeted delivery with improved localized delivery and efficacy.

Download or read book Peptide Conjugation to Enhance Oligonucleotide Delivery written by Justin Mahoney Wolfe and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intracellular delivery of functional macromolecules remains an outstanding challenge in biomedicine. While small molecules can diffuse through the plasma membrane, many large therapeutic molecules are not internalized to an appreciable extent. One strategy to improve cell uptake involves linking the molecule of interest to a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP). CPPs are widely employed to enhance macromolecule delivery, with hundreds of different peptides and modifications reported to improve cellular uptake. In this thesis, CPPs were systematically investigated and chemically altered to facilitate the delivery of antisense oligonucleotides. To accurately compare the existing CPPs, 64 CPP sequences were synthesized, conjugated to oligonucleotides, and assayed for delivery. These CPPs showed a range of effectiveness, with some CPPs hindering the delivery of oligonucleotide cargo and others leading to a 10-fold increase in oligonucleotide activity. To help identify which CPPs might be valuable for oligonucleotide delivery specifically, a computational model was developed to predict, de novo, whether or not a CPP will be effective. When experimentally validated, this model successfully predicted which sequences would improve oligonucleotide delivery greater than 3-fold. Multiple strategies were employed to improve CPP effectiveness. First, arginine-rich CPPs were chemically modified with perfluoroarenes. Cyclic and bicyclic CPPs were synthesized by linking multiple cysteine residues together with a perfluoroarene. After oligonucleotide conjugation, these peptides led to a 14-fold increase in delivery. Second, two different CPPs were combined into one long chimeric sequence. The CPP chimeras were highly active, leading to a 20-fold increase in oligonucleotide delivery. Third, the idea of combining multiple CPPs led to the development of a method for the rapid synthesis combinatorial peptide conjugates. Using the judicious choice of bioconjugation chemistry, highly-active modular constructs were synthesized that contain three peptides linked to one oligonucleotide. In addition to CPPs for oligonucleotide delivery, one section of this thesis employed perfluoroaryl macrocyclic peptides to address the challenge of peptide delivery across the blood-brain barrier. An additional section developed a new peptide conjugation strategy that uses palladium-peptide oxidative addition complexes as solid, storable, and water-soluble reagents for bioconjugation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years since the publication of Atherton and Sheppard's volume, the technique of Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis has matured considerably and is now the standard approach for the routine production of peptides. The basic problems at the time of publication of this earlier work have now for the most part, been solved. As a result, innovators in the field have focussed their efforts to develop methodologies and chemistry for the synthesis of more complex structures. The focus of this new volume is much broader, and covers the essential procedures for the production of linear peptides and more advanced techniques for preparing cyclic, side-chain modified, phospho- and glycopeptides. Many other methods also deserving attention have been included: convergent peptide synthesis; peptide-protein conjugation; chemoselective ligation; and chemoselective purification. The difficult preparation of cysteine and methionine-containing peptides is also covered, as well as methods for overcoming aggregation during peptide chain assembly. Many of the techniques developed for the production of large arrays of peptides by parallel synthesis, such as t-bag, SPOT and PIN synthesis, have naturally been included. Finally, a survey of available automated instrumentation has also been provided.
