| Abstract | Purpose. To investigate the effects of the β-turn structure of a peptide on its permeation via the paracellular and transcellular routes across cultured bovine brain microvessel endothelial cell (BBMEC) monolayers, an in vitro model of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Methods. The effective permeability coefficients (P$_{eff}$) of the model peptides were determined across BBMEC monolayers. The dimensions of the aqueous pores in the tight junctions (TJs) of the BBMEC monolayers were determined using a series of hydrophilic permeants. This value and the molecular radius of each peptide were used to calculate the theoretical paracellular (P$_{P}$ $^{*}$) and transcellular (P$_{T}$ $^{*}$) permeability coefficients for each peptide. Results. A comparison of the theoretical P$_{P}$ $^{*}$ values with the observed P$_{eff}$ values was made for a series of model peptides. For the most hydrophobic peptides (Ac-PheProXaaIle-NH$_{2}$ and Ac-PheProXaaIleVal-NH$_{2}$; Xaa = Gly, Ile), it was concluded that the Gly-containing peptide of each pair more readily permeates BBMEC monolayers via the transcellular pathway than the Ile-containing analog. In addition, the Gly-containing peptides, which exhibit more β-turn structure, were shown to be more lipophilic than the Ile-containing peptides as estimated by the log of their l-octanol:HBSS partition coefficients (log P$_{o/w}$). However, the three hydrophilic peptide pairs (Ac-TyrProXaaAspVal-NH$_{2}$, Ac-TyrProXaaAsnVal-NH$_{2}$, and Ac-TyrProXaaIleVal-NH$_{2}$; Xaa = Gly, Ile) were found to permeate BBMEC monolayers predominantly via the paracellular pathway. No differences were observed in the P$_{eff}$ values of the hydrophilic peptides having higher β-turn structures as compared to the peptides lacking these structural features. In addition, the Ile-containing peptides exhibited significantly higher log P$_{o/w}$ values than the Gly-containing hydrophilic peptides. Conclusions. Hydrophobic peptides that exhibit significant β-turn structure in solution are more lipophilic as measured by log P$_{o/w}$, and more readily permeate BBMEC monolayers via the transcellular route than hydrophobic peptides that lack this type of solution structure. Similar secondary structural features in hydrophilic peptides do not appear to sufficiently alter the physicochemical properties of the peptides so as to alter their paracellular flux through BBMEC monolayers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
