Fabrication of cationic nanostructures from short self-assembling amphiphilic mixed α/β-pentapeptide: Potential candidates for drug delivery, gene delivery, and antimicrobial applications.

Abstract:

:The present article describes designing and fabrication of nanostructures from a mixed α/β-pentapeptide, Lys-βAla-βAla-Lys-βAla, which majorly contains non-natural β-alanine residues in the backbone with two α-lysine residues at 1- and 4-positions. The amphiphilic pentapeptide showed the ability to self-assemble into cationic nanovesicles in an aqueous solution. The average size of peptide nanostructures was found to be ~270 nm with a very high cationic charge of ~+40 mV. TEM micrographs revealed the average size of the same nanostructures ~80 nm bearing vesicular morphology. CD and FTIR spectroscopic studies on self-assembled pentapeptide hinted at random coil conformation which was also correlated with conformational search program using Hyper Chem 8.0. The pentapeptide nanostructures were then tested for encapsulation of hydrophobic model drug moieties, L-Dopa, and curcumin. Transfection efficiency of the generated cationic nanostructures was evaluated on HEK293 cells and compared the results with those obtained in the presence of chloroquine. The cytotoxicity assay performed using MTT depicted ~75-80% cell viability. The obtained nanostructures also gave positive results against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial strains. Altogether the results advocate the promising potential of the pentapeptide foldamer, H-Lys-βAla-βAla-Lys-βAla-OEt, for drug and gene delivery applications along with the antimicrobial activity.
