Abstract

The tripeptide Leu-Asp-Val (LDV) is known to bind α(4)β(1) Integrin in leukemia cells. Here we have synthesized a LDV peptidomimetic equipped with a biotin-conjugated spacer-arm. Compound 9 acts as an inhibitor of the α(4)β(1) Integrin in an adhesion assay using fluorescently labeled, α(4)β(1) integrin-expressing leukemia CCRF-CEM cells. Furthermore, when bound to neutravidin-coated plates, compound 9 could capture CCRF-CEM cells. Such biotin-conjugated LDV peptidomimetic may thus represent a novel tool for biotechnological applications using avidin interaction for leukapheresis or leukemia cell targeting.
