Abstract
HIV-derived TAT peptide, with a high penetration rate into cells and its nonimmunogenic and minimally toxic nature, is an attractive tool for enhancing the biodistribution of drugs and their systemic administration. Despite the presence of numerous promising preclinical investigations illustrating its capability to specifically target distinct tissues and deliver a diverse range of pharmacological agents, the efficacy of various clinical trials incorporating TAT has been impeded by several considerable obstacles. Hence, there is much need for an in-depth investigation concerning the application of TAT in drug delivery mechanisms. In this review, we have elucidated the structure of TAT and its utility in the proficient delivery of various types of bioactive molecules.
艾滋病病毒衍生的 TAT 肽具有较高的细胞渗透率、非免疫原性和毒性小的特点,是增强药物生物分布和全身用药的一种极具吸引力的工具。尽管有大量前景看好的临床前研究表明,TAT 能够特异性地靶向不同的组织,并递送各种药剂,但采用 TAT 进行的各种临床试验的疗效一直受到一些重大障碍的阻碍。因此,亟需对 TAT 在给药机制中的应用进行深入研究。在这篇综述中,我们阐明了 TAT 的结构及其在熟练递送各类生物活性分子方面的作用。
