Abstract：
:The blood-brain barrier (BBB) prevents most drugs from reaching the site of central nervous system (CNS) diseases, intensively confining the therapeutic efficiency. Angiopep-2 (here termed (L)Angiopep), which is a 19-mer peptide derived from human Kunitz domain, can trigger transcytosis and traverse the BBB by recognizing low density lipoprotein-related protein 1 (LRP-1) expressed on the brain capillary endothelial cells. Various enzymes in the blood and the BBB, however, present multiple metabolic barriers to peptide-inspired brain-targeted drug delivery. Here we designed a retro-inverso isomer of (L)Angiopep, termed (D)Angiopep, to inspire brain-targeted drug delivery. Both (D)Angiopep and (L)Angiopep displayed high uptake capacity in LRP-1 overexpressed cells, including bEnd.3 and U87 cells. (D)Angiopep demonstrated lower uptake efficiency in both cell lines than did (L)Angiopep, suggestive of lower binding affinity to LRP-1 of the d-peptide. (D)Angiopep was resistant to proteolysis in fresh rat blood serum, while more than 85% of (L)Angiopep disappeared within 2 h. Endocytosed (D)Angiopep and (L)Angiopep were found to be colocalized with lysosomal compartments of bEnd.3 cells, indicating that susceptibility to proteolysis of (L)Angiopep in the BBB may further attenuate its transcytosis efficiency. In vivo, (D)Angiopep modified PEG-DSPE micelles displayed high distribution in normal brain and intracranial glioblastoma. Due to the expression of LRP-1 on the BBB and glioblastoma cells, proteolytically stable (D)Angiopep holds much potential for designing two-order brain tumor targeted delivery systems.
