Development of Novel Drug and Gene Delivery Carriers Composed of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes and Designed Peptides With PEGylation

Abstract: Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) attract great interest in biomedical applications including drug and gene delivery. In this study, we developed a novel delivery system using SWCNTs associated with designed polycationic and amphiphilic peptides. Wrapping of SWCNTs with H-(-Lys-Trp-Lys-Gly-)7-OH [(KWKG)7] resulted in stable dispersion in water, but the composite aggregated in the buffered solution. This dispersion instability was also evident in a cell culture medium with fetal bovine serum. To improve t… Show more

“…5). The pegylated SWCNTs-CWKG(KWKG) 6 -(PEG) 12 exhibited superior dispersion stability in an aqueous solution and cell culture medium for 24 h by visual observation, like SWCNTs-(KWKG)7-(PEG) 12 complex reported previously 17) (data not shown). Synthesis of MMC-EMCA The aziridine group of MMC was transformed with EMCA by EDC reaction for affording a linker with the maleimide group necessary for conjugation to the thiol group of SWCNTs-CWKG(KWKG) 6 -(PEG) 12 .…”

“…Thus, the difference of an amino acid between CWKG(KWKG) 6 and (KWKG) 7 did not significantly affect the PEG modification efficiency and/or the physical or chemical properties. Since the cellular uptake of SWCNTs-(KWKG) 7 -(PEG) 12 was verified, 17) cellular delivery of SWCNTs-CWKG(KWKG) 6 -(PEG) 12 was also expected, suggesting its potential as a DDS carrier. The present development of a sustained release device for MMC utilizing the SWCNTs-CWKG(KWKG) 6 -(PEG) 12 is a prototype research for the expansion of the possibility of SWCNTs-peptide-PEG composites as well as the extension of previous studies that focused on macromolecular prodrugs of MMC.…”
