Patent number: 10118942Abstract: Disclosed are monoacylated Toll-like receptor 2 ligands which can be used in both the development of targeted agents for the imaging and treatment of pancreatic cancer as well as other cancers, and as an adjuvant for cancer immunotherapy. The monoacylated compounds disclosed herein have a higher binding affinity for TLR2 relative to a known potent diacylated agonists, but only ?½ the bioactivity. Competition of the monoacylated compound with the diacylated compound for binding TLR2 was confirmed. Hence, the reported monoacylated compounds are inhibitors/antagonists of TLR2 activation.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2016Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignees: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, Inc., The Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona, University of South FloridaInventors: David L. Morse, Josef Vagner, Mark McLaughlin, Robert Gillies, Amanda Huynh, Michael Doligalski

Publication number: 20170218017Abstract: The subject invention pertains to a modified MC1R peptide ligand comprising a peptide that is a melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) ligand and a functionality or linker, such as a click functionality, for conjugation to a surface or agent. The modified MC1R peptide ligand can be coupled, e.g., via a click reaction with a complementary click functionality attached, to a moiety to form an MC1R-targeted agent. Drugs, contrast agents, polymers, particles, micelles, surfaces of larger structures, or other moieties can be targeted to the MC1R. The subject invention also pertains to a MC1R peptide ligand-micelle complex comprising a peptide that is a melanocortin 1 receptor ligand connected via a click reaction product to a micelle. The micelle is stable in vivo and can target melanoma tumor cells by association of the peptide ligand with the MC1R or the tumor and selectively provide a detectable and/or therapeutic agent (such as an imageable contrast agent and/or anti-cancer agent) selectively to the tumor cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2016Publication date: August 3, 2017Inventors: ROBERT J. GILLIES, DAVID L. MORSE, NATALIE M. BARKEY, KEVIN N. SILL, JOSEF VAGNER, NARGES K. TAFRESHI, JONATHAN L. SESSLER, CHRISTIAN PREIHS, VICTOR J. HRUBY
