This invention discloses an
arginine-
glycine-
aspartic acid (RGD)
peptide-modified chiral atomically precise
metal nanoclusters, their preparation, and applications. The
RGD peptide-modified chiral atomically precise
metal nanoclusters consist of an atomically precise
metal core, a chiral
RGD peptide ligand layer, and linking molecules connecting the metal core and ligand layer. The chiral regulation and targeting functions of the
RGD peptide-modified chiral atomically precise metal
nanoclusters synergistically enhance their targeting and penetration at the tissue and cellular levels, thereby improving their uptake efficiency. After optimization with α... v The
binding constant of β3
integrin is 1.4 × 10⁻⁶. ‑6 M ‑1 RGD peptides modify the ultrasmall metal cores of chiral atomically precise metal nanoclusters, endowing them with highly efficient and rapid renal clearance properties. This invention provides a solution suitable for various α-
cell tumors,
arthritis,
liver fibrosis, and other conditions. v RGD peptides modified with chiral atomic precision metal nanoclusters, used to treat diseases with high expression of β3
integrin, can achieve efficient enrichment at target sites for imaging.
