New amphiphilic amino acid derivatives for efficient DNA transfection in vitro [PDF]
, 2017 Nucleic acids-based therapies have recently developed as next-generationagents for treating and preventing viral infection, cancer, and genetic disorders,but their use is still limited due to its relatively poor delivery into targetedcells.

Novel approaches in development of cell penetrating peptides
Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Research, 2021 Therapeutic cargos which are impermeable to the cell can be delivered by cell penetrating peptides (CPPs). CPP-cargo complexes accumulate by endocytosis inside the cells but they fail to reach the cytosolic space properly as they are often trapped in the

Cell-penetrating peptides transport therapeutics into cells [PDF]
Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2015 Nearly 30years ago, certain small, relatively nontoxic peptides were discovered to be capable of traversing the cell membrane. These cell-penetrating peptides, as they are now called, have been shown to not only be capable of crossing the cell membrane themselves but can also carry many different therapeutic agents into cells, including small molecules,

Epoxysuccinyl peptide-derived cathepsin B inhibitors: Modulating membrane permeability by conjugation with the C-terminal heptapeptide segment of penetratin [PDF]
, 2002 Besides its physiological role in lysosomal protein breakdown, extralysosomal cathepsin B has recently been implicated in apoptotic cell death. Highly specific irreversible cathepsin B inhibitors that are readily cellpermeant should be useful tools to ...

Effective Design of Multifunctional Peptides by Combining Compatible Functions.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2016 Multifunctionality is a common trait of many natural proteins and peptides, yet the rules to generate such multifunctionality remain unclear. We propose that the rules defining some protein/peptide functions are compatible. To explore this hypothesis, we

Cell-Penetrating Peptides, Electroporation, and Drug Delivery
, 2010 Certain short polycations, such as TAT and oligoarginine, rapidly pass through the plasma membranes of mammalian cells by a mechanism called transduction, as well as by endocytosis and macropinocytosis.

Targeting the hard to reach: Challenges and novel strategies in the treatment of intracellular bacterial infections: Targeting intracellular bacteria [PDF]
, 2016 Infectious diseases continue to threaten human and animal health and welfare globally, impacting millions of lives and causing substantial economic loss. The use of antibacterials has been only partially successful in reducing disease impact.
