The key steps of the method are 1) initial design of a combinatorial library of Nmethylated analogues of the stem peptide cyclo(d-Ala-Ala(5)); 2) selection of cyclic peptides with the highest intestinal permeability; 3) design of sublibraries with the bioactive RGD sequence in all possible positions; 4) selection of the best ligands for RGD-recognizing integrin subtypes; 5) finetuning of the affinity and selectivity by additional Ala to Xaa substitutions; 6) protection of the charged functional groups according to the prodrug concept to regain intestinal and oral permeability; 7) proof of biological effects in mice after oral administration.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">51</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11.994</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kapp, Tobias G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Leva, Francesco Saverio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Notni, Johannes</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raeder, Andreas F.

Through sequential N-methylation, we successfully converted the biselective alpha 5 beta 1/alpha v beta 6 peptide c(phg-isoDGR-k) into a potent peptidic RGD binding aSfil subtype selective ligand c(phg-isoDGR-(NMe)k). Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and molecular modeling clarified the molecular basis of its improved selectivity profile. To demonstrate its potential in vivo, c(phg-isoDGR-(NMe)k) was trimerized with the chelator TRAP and used as a positron-emission tomography tracer for monitoring alpha 5 beta 1 integrin expression in a M21 mouse xenograft.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6.259</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reichart, Florian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maltsev, Oleg V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kapp, Tobias G.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raeder, Andreas F.

Among the RGD-recognizing integrin subtypes, the alpha v beta 8 receptor is emerging as an attractive target because of its involvement in various illnesses, such as autoimmune diseases, viral infections, and cancer. However, its functions have, so far, not been investigated in living subjects mainly because of the lack of a selective alpha v beta 8 ligand. Here, we report the design and potential medical applications of a cyclic octapeptide as the first highly selective small-molecule ligand for alpha v beta 8. Remarkably, this compound displays low nanomolar alpha v beta 8 binding affinity and a strong discriminating power of at least 2 orders of magnitude versus other RGD-recognizing integrins. Peptide functionalization with fluorescent or radioactive labels enables the selective imaging of alpha v beta 8-positive cells and tissues. This new probe will pave the way for detailed characterization of the distinct (patho)physiological role of this relatively unexplored integrin, providing a basis to fully exploit the potential of alpha v beta 8 as a target for molecular diagnostics and personalized therapy regimens.&lt;/p&gt;
