Optimization of neuron-specific interfering peptides targeting GABAB receptor downregulation for proteolytic stability for conferring neuroprotection in a mouse model of cerebral i... by Mohammad Hleihil, Musadiq A. Bhat, Thomas Grampp, Dietmar Benke, Dietmar Benke

“…However, the interfering peptides were not effective in-vivo because of their limited proteolytic stability after systemic application.Methods/resultsHere, we aimed to render three interfering peptides resistant to proteolytic degradation by replacing natural L-amino acids by D-amino acids. Additionally, we optimized a blood brain barrier shuttle (BBBpS) sequence derived from the Rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG) that mediates neuron-specific uptake and blood-brain barrier crossing of these interfering peptides. …”
