Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of a c(RGDyK) Peptide Conjugate of SRPIN803.

ABSTRACT: In the present study, SRPIN803 and c(RGDyK)-SRPIN803 hybrid compounds were efficiently synthesized and evaluated for their stability in human plasma and buffers of pH 7.4 and 5.2. The hybrids were mainly cytostatic against a panel of tested cancer cells, whereas one c(RGDyK)-SRPIN803 hybrid, geo35, was the most active compound in this screen and was cytotoxic against cell lines MCF7 and MRC5 with IC₅₀ values of 61 and 63 μM, respectively. SRPIN803 and geo35 exhibited antiangiogenic activity in zebrafish embryos, and this effect was dose-dependent. Although c(RGDyK)-SRPIN803 hybrid compounds were found less potent compared to SRPIN803, they have shown activities interesting enough to illustrate the potential of this approach for the development of a new class of antiangiogenic compounds.
