Synthesis of a biotinylated camptothecin derivative and determination of the binding sequence by T7 phage display technology

A biotinylated derivative of the anti-tumor agent camptothecin (CPT) was synthesized and used in a phage display assay to identify drug-binding sequences. After three rounds of selection using C20-biotinylated CPT (CPT-20-B) as bait, a CPT-20-B-binding sequence, NSSQSARR, was identified.

Synthesis of CPT-20-B and peptide screening by T7 phage display method have been reported.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
