Synthesis and cytotoxicity of a cobaltcarbonyl–alkyne enkephalin bioconjugate

Abstract

A solid-phase synthesized propargyl derivative of the neuropeptide leucine-enkephalin (Enk) reacts rapidly and quantitatively with Co2(CO)8 to give the Co2(CO)6alkyne labeled peptide 2, which is the first organometallic peptide bioconjugate to show significant toxicity against two different tumor cell lines.
