All amino acids and resins were purchased from AAPPTec LLC (Louisville, KY, USA), Chem-Impex International Inc. (Wood Dale, IL, USA), and CEM Corporation (Matthews, NC, USA). All organic solvents were purchased from Millipore Sigma Corporation (St. Louis, MO, USA), Fischer Scientific (Pittsburgh, PA, USA), and Gyros Protein Technologies, Inc (Tucson, AZ, USA). Anticancer agents
Doxorubicin (Dox) and Docetaxel (Doce) were purchased from LC laboratories (Woburn, MA, USA). Masses of intermediate and final products were confirmed by high-resolution matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometer from Bruker Inc. (GT 0264, Billerica, MA, USA) or Applied Biosystems (
4800 MALDI TOF/TOF Analyzer, Foster City, CA, USA). Intermediate and final compounds were purified by
reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) from Shimadzu (Prominence, Columbia, MD, USA) using a gradient system of acetonitrile and water with 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid using reverse phase C18 column (
XBridge BEH130 Prep C18), from Waters Corporation (Milford, MA, USA). 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein diisobutyrate (CFDI) was used to synthesize fluorescently-label peptide (USBiological Life Science, Swampscott, MA, USA).
