AbstractAbstract: The binding of RGD peptides to integrins offers an excellent system to study the multivalent mediated changes in affinity that arise when peptides, displayed on the surface of a nanoparticle carrier, bind to integrins displayed on the cell membrane. The IC50 of an RGD nanoparticle for endothelial adhesion was 1.0 nM nanoparticle or 20 nM peptide (20 peptide/nanoparticle) and was associated with strong multivalent effects, defined as a multivalent enhancement factor (MVE) of 38 (MVE = IC50 (peptide)/IC50 (peptide when displayed by nanoparticle)). The attachment of RGD peptides to nanoparticles resulted in an extension of the peptide blood half-life from 13 to 180 min. Based on the multivalent enhancement of affinity and extension of blood half-life, multivalent RGD nanoparticle-sized materials should be potent inhibitors of the alpha(V)beta(3) function on endothelial cells in vivo.
