| Targets |
Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1. The PD-1/PD-L1 interaction is a key immune checkpoint that downregulates T cell activity, allowing cancer cells to evade the immune system. (D)-PPA 1 TFA is an antagonist that blocks this interaction, thereby reactivating the immune system's ability to attack tumor cells.

| ln Vitro |
At 1.0 mg/mL, the interaction between PD-1/PD-L1 is blocked by (D)-PPA 1 TFA (0.2 mg/mL, 1.0 mg/mL) [1]. (d) -ppa 1 (3.125-100 μM; 24 h, 48 h) has no effect on CT26 cell proliferation and does not directly destroy tumor cells [1].
(D)-PPA 1 TFA binds directly to PD-1 with an affinity of 0.51 microM, effectively blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction. In cell-based assays, it does not directly kill tumor cells or affect their growth. Instead, it functions by preventing the inhibition of T cells, thereby unleashing an anti-tumor immune response. It blocks the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 at a concentration of 1.0 mg/mL. |
| ln Vivo |
(D)-PPA 1 TFA (2 mg/kg; subcutaneous or intraperitoneal injection; once a day for 7 days) retards the development of mouse CT26 tumors [1]. Targeting tumor tissue in CT26 tumor-bearing mice, (D)-PPA 1 TFA (40 μg/mouse in 200 μL; iv; single dose) exhibits this property [1].
In vivo, (D)-PPA 1 TFA has shown significant anti-tumor efficacy. In a CT26 mouse colon carcinoma model, it is administered subcutaneously or intraperitoneally at a dose of 2 mg/kg once daily for 7 days, which inhibits tumor growth. Additionally, it has the ability to target tumor tissue, as demonstrated by the accumulation of the compound in the tumors of CT26-bearing mice after a single intravenous dose of 40 microg/mouse. |
| Enzyme Assay |
A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay is used to determine the binding affinity. Recombinant PD-1 protein is immobilized on a sensor chip. Various concentrations of (D)-PPA 1 TFA are flowed over the chip, and the resulting sensorgrams are analyzed to calculate the dissociation constant (KD), which is reported as 0.51 microM. This confirms the direct and high-affinity interaction between the peptide and its target.
|
| Cell Assay |
A cell-based PD-1/PD-L1 blockade assay is used. In this system, PD-1-expressing effector cells and PD-L1-expressing target cells are co-cultured. When PD-1 engages PD-L1, a reporter signal is suppressed. The addition of (D)-PPA 1 TFA blocks this interaction, preventing the signal suppression, which allows for the measurement of peptide activity. The compound does not directly affect tumor cell growth, as shown by the lack of effect on CT26 cell viability.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo efficacy is evaluated in a CT26 syngeneic mouse colon carcinoma model. Mice are injected subcutaneously with CT26 tumor cells. Once the tumors are established, (D)-PPA 1 TFA is administered subcutaneously or intraperitoneally at a dose of 2 mg/kg once daily for 7 days. The anti-tumor effect is monitored by measuring tumor growth with calipers and comparing it to a vehicle-treated control group.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
As a D-peptide, (D)-PPA 1 TFA is designed to be resistant to hydrolysis by proteases, giving it a longer half-life in vivo compared to L-peptides. It is soluble in water at 100 mg/mL (59.89 mM). For in vivo administration, it can be formulated in saline or other physiologically compatible buffers. The D-amino acid configuration allows for effective targeting while maintaining metabolic stability.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data is provided for (D)-PPA 1 TFA. In the CT26 mouse model, the compound was administered at 2 mg/kg for 7 days without reported adverse effects. D-peptides have low immunogenicity and are generally considered to be well-tolerated. Since the peptide works by modulating the immune system, there is a potential risk of immune-related adverse events at high doses.
