Abstract
The design, synthesis, and bioevaluation of fluorescenceโ and biotinโlabeled CXCR4 antagonists are described. The modification of DโLys8 at an ฮตโamino group in the peptide antagonist AcโTZ14011 derived from polyphemusin II had no significant influence on the potent binding of the peptide to the CXCR4 receptor. The application of the labeled peptides in flow cytometry and confocal microscopy studies demonstrated the selectivity of their binding to the CXCR4 receptor, but not to CXCR7, which was recently reported to be another receptor for stromal cellโderived factor 1 (SDFโ1)/CXCL12.
