Benzyl stapled modification and anticancer activity of antimicrobial peptide A4K14-Citropin 1.1

A4K14-Citropin 1.1 (GLFAVIKKVASVIKGL-NH2) is a derived antimicrobial peptide (AMP) with a more stable α-helical structure at the C-terminal compared to prototype Citropin 1.1 which was obtained from glandular skin secretions of Australian freetail lizards. In a previous report, A4K14-Citropin 1.1 has been considered as an anti-cancer lead compound. However, linear peptides are difficult to maintain stable secondary structure, resulted in poor pharmacokinetic properties. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of benzyl-stapled derivatives of A4K14-Citropin 1.1. And their physical and chemical properties, as well as biological activity, were both explored. The result showed that AC-CCSP-2-o and AC-CCSP-3-o exhibited a higher degree of helicity and greater anti-cancer activity compared with the prototype peptide. Besides, there was no significant difference in the hemolytic effect between the stapled peptides and the prototype peptide. AC-CCSP-2-o and AC-CCSP-3-o could serve as promising anti-cancer lead compounds for the novel anti-cancer drug development.
