Bespoke plant glycoconjugates for gut microbiota-mediated drug targeting

Listed in Borealis

Description

Abstract

The gut microbiota of mammals possess unique metabolic pathways with untapped therapeutic potential. Using molecular insights into dietary fiber metabolism by the human gut microbiota, we designed a targeted drug delivery system based on bespoke glycoconjugates of a complex plant oligosaccharide called GlycoCaging. GlycoCaging of exemplar anti-inflammatory drugs enabled the release of active molecules triggered by unique glycosidases of autochthonous gut bacteria.

GlycoCaging ensured drug efficacy was potentiated, and off-target effects were eliminated in murine models of inflammatory bowel disease. Biochemical and metagenomic analyses of gut microbiota of individual humans confirmed the broad applicability of this strategy.
