Stereoisomer peptides, their polymer conjugates, their encapsulation into nanoparticles, and uses thereof for the treatment of diseases caused by abnormal angiogenesis
This invention discloses the creation of a novel single ligand-targeted multi-stereoisomer peptide-polymer conjugate compounds comprising a group of different synthetic and chemically modified stereoisomer peptides that have been conjugated to a biocompatible polymer carrying a peptide ligand for targeted delivery and/or encapsulated in ligand targeted polymer nanoparticles. The unique physicochemical properties of the stereoisomer peptides provide therapeutic compounds with ideal biopharmaceutical properties. The stereoisomer peptides carried by the polymer are delivered to cells or tissues to inhibit, suppress, block, antagonize or disrupt, simultaneously and independently, the functional domain of different disease causing proteins. Therefore the compounds are novel therapeutics for the treatment of abnormal angiogenesis and inflammation which are the hall mark of most human diseases including but not limited to all cancers, metastasis, eye retinopathies, cardiovascular, brain, and neurodegenerative disorders, diabetes, and diseases caused by infectious microorganisms including virus, bacteria, fungi, and parasites.
