Structure-activity relationship study of a small cyclic peptide H-c[Lys-Pro-Glu]-Arg-OH: a potent inhibitor of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor interaction with Neuropilin-1.
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry 2017 January 16
Inhibition of angiogenesis is one of the most promising approaches in anticancer therapy. It was recently suggested that Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) in tumour cells may serve as a separate receptor for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-165 (VEGF165 ) which is one of the main pro-angiogenic agents in the organism. Therefore molecules inhibiting VEGF165 binding to NRP-1 could be potential candidates for new antiangiogenic and anticancer drugs. Here we present a structure-activity relationship study of the peptide H-c[Lys-Pro-Glu]-Arg-OH which showed high inhibitory effect on VEGF165 /NRP-1 binding (IC50 =0.18μM) in our previous study. We report the design, synthesis, in vitro assays and docking analysis of four small cyclic peptides (14-,15-membered ring) and one bigger cyclic compound (30-membered ring). Our study shows that both the ring size and configuration of amino acid residues present in the structure are crucial for high inhibitory effect.
