Dual-Enzyme Responsive Peptides

技術優勢: Allows much greater selectivity and specificity Better-controlled degradation of opioid formulations

技術應用: Enzyme-responsive systems for diagnostic and drug delivery applications Selective biodegradation of materials for biomedical applications (i.e. location-specific degradation and drug release for abuse-deterrent opioid formulations)

詳細技術說明: Researchers at UCLA have designed a dual-enzyme responsive peptide system that requires sequential digestion by two enzymes for cargo release from the C-terminus. In this system, the peptide is first cleaved by an enzyme that unmasks the recognition site for a second enzyme, allowing for digestion and release of the final product. These peptides can be used in polymeric formulations, either as cross-linkers or incorporated into the backbone, installing dual-enzyme sensitivity. This method may also be useful for delayed release formulations/prodrugs, allowing degradation of abuse-deterrent opioid formulations to be better controlled when sequences that require digestions by multiple enzymes are installed.

*Abstract: UCLA researchers in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry have developed a dual-enzyme responsive peptide system that requires sequential digestion by two separate enzymes for cleavage at the C-terminal position of lysine.

State Of Development

Have demonstrated sequences that are responsive to trypsin/chymotrypsin, trypsin/papain, and trypsin/caspase 3.

Background

Due to their high selectivity and specificity, enzyme responsive systems are commonly used for diagnostic and drug delivery applications. Currently, most enzyme responsive technologies are sensitive to a single enzyme, or a single enzyme in combination with an environmental stimulus. For example, caspase-sensitive reporters, which respond to peroxide production or to cancer-related matrix metalloproteinases, have been designated to detect cell injury as well as to monitor reactivation of the apoptotic pathway after anti-cancer therapy delivery. Trypsin responsive sequences have been incorporated into abuse-deterrent opioid formulations, which allow drug release only at specific locations in vivo. Although many single-enzyme responsive systems show promise in specific targeting, response to more than one enzyme would allow for greater target selectivity and indirect enzyme detection, and provide information about cellular environments.
