Drug release from hydrazone-containing peptide amphiphiles

Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 Jul 28;47(28):7962-4. doi: 10.1039/c1cc12570b. Epub 2011 Jun 15.

Abstract

Hydrolytically-labile hydrazones in peptide amphiphiles were studied as degradable tethers for release of the drug nabumetone from nanofiber gels. On-resin addition of the novel compound tri-Boc-hydrazido adipic acid to a lysine ε-amine allowed for precise placement of a hydrazide in a peptide sequence.
