Polycatechols with Robust Efficiency in Cytosolic Peptide Delivery via Catechol-Boronate Chemistry

Cytosolic delivery of peptides remains a challenging task because of the limited binding sites on peptides and the existence of multiple intracellular barriers. Here, we proposed the use of polycatechols with a high cell permeability to deliver peptides of different physicochemical properties using the catechol-boronate chemistry. Peptides were decorated with boronate moieties via three strategies, and the introduced boronate groups greatly increased the binding affinity of cargo peptides with polycatechols. The loading peptides could be released under the endolysosomal acidity. When the cargo peptide was modified with boronate moiety via a p-hydroxybenzylcarbamate self-immolative spacer, it could be loaded by polycatechols and released in a traceless manner triggered by reactive oxygen species. The proposed strategies greatly promote the cytosolic delivery efficiency of different peptides into various cell lines and restored their biofunctions after intracellular delivery and release. This study provides a general and robust platform for the intracellular delivery of membrane-impermeable peptides.
