    摘要: Novel peptides are disclosed that may be used as inhibitors of amyloidogenesis, as suppressors of amyloid toxicity, and as therapeutic agents for amyloid-associated diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's Disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, Huntington's Disease, and Type II Diabetes. These new β-strand mimics (β-sheet “blockers”), containing Cα,α-disubstituted amino acids, specifically interact with and block the development of the β-sheet structure of the developing fibrils of amyloid diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease amyloid β-peptide (Aβ). We have discovered that oligomerization of β-sheet structures, including those implicated in amyloid-associated diseases, may be inhibited or even reversed by the presence of extended peptide structures that have only one edge available for hydrogen bonding. Without a second edge that is also available for hydrogen bonding, the extension of a developing β-sheet is blocked by binding to the novel peptides.

    摘要: Short peptides containing Cα,α-dipropylglycine (Dpg) at alternating sequence positions were synthesized and examined for conformational behavior. Peptide assembly was performed using Fmoc-solid-phase chemistry where the coupling with PyAOP could be significantly enhanced at elevated temperature. Circular dichroism (CD) and NMR conformational studies revealed that incorporation of Dpg residues induced folded structures into peptides. It was observed that Dpg residues adopted helical conformation in a helix-promoting sequence. The resulting helical structure was comprised of consecutive β-turns whose structure was stabilized by salt bridge in aqueous solution. In this study, the preparation of sterically and polyfunctional Cα,α-disubstituted amino acids (ααAAs) via alkylation of ethyl nitroacetate and transformation into derivatives ready for incorporation into peptides are described. Treatment of ethyl nitroacetate with N,N-diisopropylethylamine in the presence of a catalytic amount of tetraalkylammonium salt, followed by the addition of an activated alkyl halide or Michael acceptor, gave the doubly C-alkylated product in good to excellent yields. Selective nitro reduction with Zn in acetic or hydrogen over Raney Ni gave the corresponding amino ester that, upon saponification, can be protected with the fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group. The synthesis of a sterically demanding Cα,α-dibenzylglycine (Dbzg), and an orthogonally protected, tetrafunctional Cα,α-disubstituted analogue of aspartic acid Bcmg is described. The preparation of amyloid fibril blocker peptides based on amyloid peptide hydrophobic core Aβ16-20 is described. These blocker peptides containing sterically

    摘要: Provided herein are, inter alia, nucleic acid-peptide conjugates including a non-cell penetrating protein (e.g., an Hdm2 targeting peptide) attached at its C-terminus to a phosphorothioate nucleic acid. Attachment of the phosphorothioate nucleic acid to the non-cell penetrating protein conveys stability to and allows for efficient intracellular delivery of the non-cell penetrating peptide. The nucleic acid-peptide conjugates provided herein including embodiments thereof are useful, inter alia, for the treatment of cancer.
