Solid-phase synthetic strategy and bioevaluation of a labeled delta-opioid receptor ligand Dmt-Tic-Lys for in vivo imaging.

ABSTRACT: A general solid-phase synthetic strategy is developed to prepare fluorescent and/or lanthanide-labeled derivatives of the delta-opioid receptor (deltaOR) ligand H-Dmt-Tic-Lys(R)-OH. The high delta-OR affinity (K(i) = 3 nM) and desirable in vivo characteristics of the Cy5 derivative 1 suggest its usefulness for structure-function studies and receptor localization and as a high-contrast noninvasive molecular marker for live imaging ex vivo or in vivo.

Conversion of the potent delta-opioid agonist H-Dmt-Tic-NH-CH(2)-bid into delta-opioid antagonists by N(1)-benzimidazole alkylation(1).

Project description:N(1)-Alkylation of 1H-benzimidizole of the delta agonist H-Dmt-Tic-NH-CH(2)-Bid with hydrophobic, aromatic, olefinic, acid, ethyl ester, or amide (1-6) became delta antagonists (pA(2)=8.52-10.14). delta- and micro-Opioid receptor affinities were high (K(i)delta=0.12-0.36 nM and K(i)micro=0.44-1.42 nM). Only delta antagonism (pA(2)=8.52-10.14) was observed; micro agonism (IC(50)=30-450 nM) was not correlated with changes in alkylating agent or delta antagonism, and some compounds yielded mixed delta antagonism/micro agonism.

Tumor Targeting and Pharmacokinetics of a Near-Infrared Fluorescent-Labeled ?-Opioid Receptor Antagonist Agent, Dmt-Tic-Cy5.

Project description:Fluorescence molecular imaging can be employed for the development of novel cancer targeting agents. Herein, we investigated the pharmacokinetics (PK) and cellular uptake of Dmt-Tic-Cy5, a delta-opioid receptor (?OR) antagonist-fluorescent dye conjugate, as a tumor-targeting molecular imaging agent. ?OR expression is observed normally in the CNS, and pathologically in some tumors, including lung liver and breast cancers. In vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo experiments were conducted to image and quantify the fluorescence signal associated with Dmt-Tic-Cy5 over time using in vitro and intravital fluorescence microscopy and small animal fluorescence imaging of tumor-bearing mice. We observed specific retention of Dmt-Tic-Cy5 in tumors with maximum uptake in ?OR-expressing positive tumors at 3 h and observable persistence for >96 h; clearance from ?OR nonexpressing negative tumors by 6 h; and systemic clearance from normal organs by 24 h. Live-cell and intravital fluorescence microscopy demonstrated that Dmt-Tic-Cy5 had sustained cell-surface binding lasting at least 24 h with gradual internalization over the initial 6 h following administration. Dmt-Tic-Cy5 is a ?OR-targeted agent that exhibits long-lasting and specific signal in ?OR-expressing tumors, is rapidly cleared from systemic circulation, and is not retained in non-?OR-expressing tissues. Hence, Dmt-Tic-Cy5 has potential as a fluorescent tumor imaging agent.

Dual labeled peptides as tools to study receptors: nanomolar affinity derivatives of TIPP (Tyr-Tic-Phe-Phe) containing an affinity label and biotin as probes of delta opioid receptors.

Project description:A general strategy for the design of dual labeled peptides was developed, and derivatives of the delta opioid receptor (DOR) selective antagonist TIPP (Tyr-Tic-Phe-PheOH) containing both an affinity label and biotin were prepared by solid-phase synthesis. Tyr-Tic-Phe-Phe(p-X)-Asp-NH(CH2CH2O)2-CH2CH2NH-biotin (where X = N=C=S or NHCOCH2Br) exhibit nanomolar DOR affinity. The ability to detect receptors labeled with these peptides following solubilization and SDS-PAGE demonstrate the applicability of this design approach for dual labeled peptide derivatives.

Evolution of the Bifunctional Lead μ Agonist / δ Antagonist Containing the Dmt-Tic Opioid Pharmacophore.

Project description:Based on a renewed importance recently attributed to bi- or multifunctional opioids, we report the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of some analogues derived from our lead μ agonist / δ antagonist, H-Dmt-Tic-Gly-NH-Bzl. Our previous studies focused on the importance of the C-teminal benzyl function in the induction of such bifunctional activity. The introduction of some substituents in the para position of the phenyl ring (-Cl, -CH(3), partially -NO(2), inactive -NH(2)) was found to give a more potent μ agonist / antagonist effect associated with a relatively unmodified δ antagonist activity (pA(2) = 8.28-9.02). Increasing the steric hindrance of the benzyl group (using diphenylmethyl and tetrahydroisoquinoline functionalities) substantially maintained the μ agonist and δ antagonist activities of the lead compound. Finally and quite unexpectedly D-Tic2, considered as a wrong opioid message now; inserted into the reference compound in lieu of L-Tic, provided a μ agonist / δ agonist better than our reference ligand (H-Dmt-Tic-Gly-NH-Ph) and was endowed with the same pharmacological profile.

Localization and regulation of fluorescently labeled delta opioid receptor, expressed in enteric neurons of mice.

Project description:Opioids and opiates inhibit gastrointestinal functions via ?, ?, and ? receptors. Although agonists of the ? opioid receptor (DOR) suppress motility and secretion, little is known about the localization and regulation of DOR in the gastrointestinal tract.We studied mice in which the gene that encodes the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) was inserted into Oprd1, which encodes DOR, to express an approximately 80-kilodalton product (DOReGFP). We used these mice to localize DOR and to determine how agonists regulate the subcellular distribution of DOR.DOReGFP was expressed in all regions but was confined to enteric neurons and fibers within the muscularis externa. In the submucosal plexus, DOReGFP was detected in neuropeptide Y-positive secretomotor and vasodilator neurons of the small intestine, but rarely was observed in the large bowel. In the myenteric plexus of the small intestine, DOReGFP was present in similar proportions of excitatory motoneurons and interneurons that expressed choline acetyltransferase and substance P, and in inhibitory motoneurons and interneurons that contained nitric oxide synthase. DOReGFP was present mostly in nitrergic myenteric neurons of colon. DOReGFP and ? opioid receptors often were co-expressed. DOReGFP-expressing neurons were associated with enkephalin-containing varicosities, and enkephalin-induced clathrin- and dynamin-mediated endocytosis and lysosomal trafficking of DOReGFP. DOReGFP replenishment at the plasma membrane was slow, requiring de novo synthesis, rather than recycling.DOR localizes specifically to submucosal and myenteric neurons, which might account for the ability of DOR agonists to inhibit gastrointestinal secretion and motility. Sustained down-regulation of DOReGFP at the plasma membrane of activated neurons could induce long-lasting tolerance to DOR agonists.

Solid-state, dye-labeled DNA detects volatile compounds in the vapor phase.

Project description:This paper demonstrates a previously unreported property of deoxyribonucleic acid-the ability of dye-labeled, solid-state DNA dried onto a surface to detect odors delivered in the vapor phase by changes in fluorescence. This property is useful for engineering systems to detect volatiles and provides a way for artificial sensors to emulate the way cross-reactive olfactory receptors respond to and encode single odorous compounds and mixtures. Recent studies show that the vertebrate olfactory receptor repertoire arises from an unusually large gene family and that the receptor types that have been tested so far show variable breadths of response. In designing biomimetic artificial noses, the challenge has been to generate a similarly large sensor repertoire that can be manufactured with exact chemical precision and reproducibility and that has the requisite combinatorial complexity to detect odors in the real world. Here we describe an approach for generating and screening large, diverse libraries of defined sensors using single-stranded, fluorescent dye-labeled DNA that has been dried onto a substrate and pulsed with brief exposures to different odors. These new solid-state DNA-based sensors are sensitive and show differential, sequence-dependent responses. Furthermore, we show that large DNA-based sensor libraries can be rapidly screened for odor response diversity using standard high-throughput microarray methods. These observations describe new properties of DNA and provide a generalized approach for producing explicitly tailored sensor arrays that can be rationally chosen for the detection of target volatiles with different chemical structures that include biologically derived odors, toxic chemicals, and explosives.

Anti-analgesic effect of the mu/delta opioid receptor heteromer revealed by ligand-biased antagonism.

Project description:Delta (DOR) and mu opioid receptors (MOR) can complex as heteromers, conferring functional properties in agonist binding, signaling and trafficking that can differ markedly from their homomeric counterparts. Because of these differences, DOR/MOR heteromers may be a novel therapeutic target in the treatment of pain. However, there are currently no ligands selective for DOR/MOR heteromers, and, consequently, their role in nociception remains unknown. In this study, we used a pharmacological opioid cocktail that selectively activates and stabilizes the DOR/MOR heteromer at the cell surface by blocking its endocytosis to assess its role in antinociception. We found that mice treated chronically with this drug cocktail showed a significant right shift in the ED50 for opioid-mediated analgesia, while mice treated with a drug that promotes degradation of the heteromer did not. Furthermore, promoting degradation of the DOR/MOR heteromer after the right shift in the ED50 had occurred, or blocking signal transduction from the stabilized DOR/MOR heteromer, shifted the ED50 for analgesia back to the left. Taken together, these data suggest an anti-analgesic role for the DOR/MOR heteromer in pain. In conclusion, antagonists selective for DOR/MOR heteromer could provide an avenue for alleviating reduced analgesic response during chronic pain treatment.

Novel solid-phase strategy for the synthesis of ligand-targeted fluorescent-labelled chelating peptide conjugates as a theranostic tool for cancer.

Project description:In this article, we have successfully designed and demonstrated a novel continuous process for assembling targeting ligands, peptidic spacers, fluorescent tags and a chelating core for the attachment of cytotoxic molecules, radiotracers, nanomaterials in a standard Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis in high yield and purity. The differentially protected Fmoc-Lys-(Tfa)-OH plays a vital role in attaching fluorescent tags while growing the peptide chain in an uninterrupted manner. The methodology is versatile for solid-phase resins that are sensitive to mild and strong acidic conditions when acid-sensitive side chain amino protecting groups such as Trt (chlorotrityl), Mtt (4-methyltrityl), Mmt (4-methoxytrityl) are employed to synthesise the ligand targeted fluorescent tagged bioconjugates. Using this methodology, DUPA rhodamine B conjugate (DUPA = 2-[3-(1,3-dicarboxypropyl)ureido]pentanedioic acid), targeting prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expressed on prostate, breast, bladder and brain cancers and pteroate rhodamine B, targeting folate receptor positive cancers such as ovarian, lung, endometrium as well as inflammatory diseases have been synthesized. In vitro studies using LNCaP (PSMA +ve), PC-3 (PSMA -ve, FR -ve) and CHO-? (FR +ve) cell lines and their respective competition experiments demonstrate the specificity of the newly synthesized bioconstructs for future application in fluorescent guided intra-operative imaging.

Ligand- and cell-dependent determinants of internalization and cAMP modulation by delta opioid receptor (DOR) agonists.

Project description:Signaling bias refers to G protein-coupled receptor ligand ability to preferentially activate one type of signal over another. Bias to evoke signaling as opposed to sequestration has been proposed as a predictor of opioid ligand potential for generating tolerance. Here we measured whether delta opioid receptor agonists preferentially inhibited cyclase activity over internalization in HEK cells. Efficacy (?) and affinity (KA) values were estimated from functional data and bias was calculated from efficiency coefficients (log ?/KA). This approach better represented the data as compared to alternative methods that estimate bias exclusively from ? values. Log (?/KA) coefficients indicated that SNC-80 and UFP-512 promoted cyclase inhibition more efficiently than DOR internalization as compared to DPDPE (bias factor for SNC-80: 50 and for UFP-512: 132). Molecular determinants of internalization were different in HEK293 cells and neurons with ?arrs contributing to internalization in both cell types, while PKC and GRK2 activities were only involved in neurons. Rank orders of ligand ability to engage different internalization mechanisms in neurons were compared to rank order of E max values for cyclase assays in HEK cells. Comparison revealed a significant reversal in rank order for cyclase E max values and ?arr-dependent internalization in neurons, indicating that these responses were ligand-specific. Despite this evidence, and because kinases involved in internalization were not the same across cellular backgrounds, it is not possible to assert if the magnitude and nature of bias revealed by rank orders of maximal responses is the same as the one measured in HEK cells.

Synthetic Strategy Towards Heterodimetallic Half-Sandwich Complexes Based on a Symmetric Ditopic Ligand.

Project description:Multimetallic complexes have been shown in several examples to possess greater anticancer activity than their monometallic counterparts. The increased activity has been attributed to altered modes of action. We herein report the synthesis of a series of heterodimetallic compounds based on a ditopic ligand featuring 2-pyridylimine chelating motifs and organometallic half-sandwich moieties. The complexes were characterized by a combination of 1H NMR spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Investigations into the stability of representative complexes in DMSO-d 6 and 10% DMSO-d 6 /D2O revealed the occurrence of solvent-chlorido ligand exchange. Proliferation assays in four human cancer cell lines showed that the Os-Rh complex possessed minimal activity, while all other complexes were inactive.
