The invention belongs to the field of polypeptides, and particularly relates to a
nitrogen-terminal
fatty acid modified
anticancer peptide and application thereof. The
nitrogen terminal of the anti-
cancer peptide is modified by straight-chain
fatty acid, the carbon terminal of the anti-
cancer peptide is of an
amide structure, and the structural general formula of the anti-
cancer peptide is Cn-KaWbEc, wherein Cn represents a
fatty acid chain with n carbon atoms, a is the number of
lysine K, b is the number of
tryptophan W, and c is the number of
glutamic acid E; n is equal to 6-18; a + b + c = 8; a = 3 or 4, b = 3 or 4, and c = 0, 1 or 2. According to the anti-cancer peptide modified by the
nitrogen-terminal fatty acid,
lysine,
tryptophan and
glutamic acid are used for constructing 8-bit
oligopeptide, a nitrogen-terminal fatty acid modification strategy and a carbon-terminal
amide structure are matched, and the anti-cancer peptide is simple in structure and low in synthesis cost. In-vitro anti-tumor experiments and
toxicity experiments show that the anti-cancer peptide has remarkable anti-tumor activity on various
tumor cells such as 4T1,
Hela, A549, HCCLM3 and the like, and shows broad-spectrum anti-cancer activity.
