Mdm2 / mdmx inhibiting peptides, compositions, and methods of making and use
By self-assembling nanoparticles from a complex of MDM2/MDMX inhibitory peptides, human serum albumin, and verteporfen, the MDM2/MDMX protein is targeted and degraded, activating the p53 pathway and enhancing the efficacy of photodynamic therapy. This solves the targeting problem of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of retinoblastoma and achieves a significant inhibitory effect on cancer cells.

AI Technical Summary
Existing photodynamic therapy is not effective in treating retinoblastoma (RB), with targeting issues leading to insignificant treatment outcomes.
The complex formed by MDM2/MDMX inhibitory peptide, human serum albumin and verteporfen through hydrophobic and hydrogen bonds, combined with gold ion coordination and thiol modification, is self-assembled into nanoparticles. These nanoparticles target ubiquitination and degradation of MDM2/MDMX protein, enhance the expression of p53 protein and ROS, and synergize with photodynamic therapy.
It enhanced the sensitivity of retinoblastoma to photodynamic therapy by targeting and degrading MDM2/MDMX proteins, activating the wild-type p53 pathway, increasing the cell's sensitivity to ROS, and significantly inhibiting cancer cell growth.
