Abstract |
Novel peptidomimetic backbone designs with stability towards proteases are of interest for several pharmaceutical applications including intracellular delivery. The present study concerns the cellular uptake and membrane-destabilizing effects of various cationic chimeras comprised of alternating N-alkylated beta -alanine and alpha -amino acid residues. For comparison, homomeric peptides displaying octacationic functionalities as well as the Tat47-57 sequence were included as ref. compds. Cellular uptake studies with fluorescently labeled compds. showed that guanidinylated chimeras were taken up four times more efficiently than Tat47-57. After internalization, the chimeras were localized primarily in vesicular compartments and diffusively in the cytoplasm. In murine NIH3T3 fibroblasts, the chimeras showed immediate plasma membrane permeabilizing properties, which proved highly dependent on the chimera chain length, and were remarkably different from the effects induced by Tat47-57. Finally, biophys. studies on model membranes showed that the chimeras in general increase the permeability of fluid phase and gel phase phosphatidylcholine (PC) vesicles without affecting membrane acyl chain packing, which suggests that they restrict lateral diffusion of the membrane lipids by interaction with phospholipid head groups. The alpha -peptide/beta -peptoid chimeras described herein exhibit promising cellular uptake properties, and thus represent proteolytically stable alternatives to currently known cell-penetrating peptides. |
