Abstract: Disclosed is a general, reversible bicyclization strategy to increase both the proteolytic stability and cell permeability of peptidyl drugs. A peptide drug is fused with a short cell-penetrating motif and converted into a conformationally constrained bicyclic structure through the formation of a pair of disulfide bonds. The resulting bicyclic peptide has greatly enhanced proteolytic stability as well as cell-permeability. Once inside the cell, the disulfide bonds are reduced to produce a linear, biologically active peptide. This strategy was applied to generate a cell-permeable bicyclic peptidyl inhibitor against the NEMO-IKK interaction.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a large combinatorial library of cell-permeable bicyclic peptides. The bicyclic peptides described herein include the first ring consisted of randomized peptide sequences for potential binding to a target of interest while the second ring featured a family of different cell-penetrating motifs, for both cell penetration and target binding. The library was screened against the I?B kinase ?/? (IKK?/?)-binding domain of NF-?B essential modulator (NEMO), resulting in the discovery of several cell-permeable bicyclic peptides which inhibited the NEMO-IKK? interaction, thereby selectively inhibiting canonical NF-?B signaling in mammalian cells and the proliferation of cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cells.
