Effect of multiple cyclic RGD peptides on tumor accumulation and intratumoral distribution of IRDye 700DX-conjugated polymers

Abstract: Strategic delivery of IRDye 700DX (photosensitizer) is a key for improving its effect in photodynamic therapy. In this study, we have synthesized IRDye 700DX-conjugated polymers containing multiple cyclic RGD peptides to deliver IRDye 700DX selectively to tumor cells and tumor-associated blood vessels overexpressing αvβ3 integrin. Our polymer has a backbone of hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(L-glutamic acid) block copolymer, and cyclic RGD peptides are conjugated to side chains of the poly(L-glutamic ac… Show more

“…This suggested that the optimal administration route for YLG-1 was IT injection. Indeed, IT injection is an acknowledged administration route applied in many studies[24-27]. Compared with conventional systematic administration, a small amount of photosensitizer could be effective via IT injection.…”

“…Conjugating PSs with peptides that target molecules on the cancer cell surface is another strategy. PS conjugated with an RGD peptide targeting the α v β 3 integrin, which is overexpressed in tumor cells and tumor-associated blood vessels, showed specific accumulation in tumor tissue and tumor blood vessels [ 94 , 95 ]. The A20FMDV2 peptide, originated from the VP1 coat protein of the foot-and-mouth disease virus, and the HK peptide specifically target the α v β 6 integrin on expressing tumors [ 18 , 96 , 97 , 98 ].…”
