The objective of the current research was to investigate how the secondary structure of a polypeptide affects its diffusion in the aqueous-filled paracellular route of a membrane. Polypeptides, in the absence of tertiary structure, exhibit different conformations such as random coil (RC), alpha helix (alpha-helix), or beta sheet (beta) secondary structures. Exhibition of different conformations results in the formation of polypeptides with different overall molecular dimensions such as increased flexibility of a random coil compared to an alpha-helix or a beta structure, and specific molecular properties including different diffusitive properties. The RC conformation usually forms an irregular coiled chain with free movement in the solution, while an alpha-helix arrangement resembles a rod with less flexibility. The beta conformation forms an elongated and pleated sheet with low aqueous solubility properties. The general purpose of the current research was to investigate the relationship between the overall molecular geometry, directly conferred by a polypeptide's secondary conformation, to its hindered and unhindered diffusional properties in solution, in the hope of identifying key factors governing the paracellular absorption for this class of therapeutics. The paracellular route is a viable pathway for the diffusion of polypeptides across biological membranes. A survey of the literature on parameters affecting paracellular transport of polypeptides and proteins demonstrates the lack of a systematic study of the influence of three-dimensional structure/secondary structure of polypeptides on their diffusion in vitro and absorption in vivo. In the present research, the following investigations were conducted; (1) permeation of Conantokin G across a microporous cellulose ester membrane in vitro , (2) permeation of the synthetic model polypeptides across a microporous polyester membrane in vitro, and (3) diffusion of the synthetic model polypeptides across a biological membrane in vitro (Caco-2 cell monolayer) and their absorption in situ.Subjects--Topical Terms:
