摘要:
The present invention is directed to peptisomes, including nanopeptisomes, which have a perfluorocarbon liquid core containing a perfluorocarbon liquid and a cargo, such as a therapeutically active agent, dispersed in the perfluorocarbon, liquid, and a plurality of amphiphilic peptide molecules surrounding the perfluorocarbon liquid core, wherein the amphiphilic peptide is represented by Formula (I) HB-CL-HP wherein HB is a fluorinated hydrophobic block, such as a fluorinated hydrophobic amino acid sequence. CL is a cross-linking motif and HP is a hydrophilic amino acid sequence. The present invention is also directed to methods of use of the amphiphilic peptides and peptisomes, such as nanopeptisomes, to deliver a cargo, such as a therapeutically active agent, to a cell, Q wherein the cell may be in vitro, ex vi, or in vivo.
