Abstract: Two 'hot segments' within an islet amyloid polypeptide are responsible for its self-assembly, which in turn is linked to the decline of β-cells in type 2 diabetes (T2D). A readily available water-soluble, macrocyclic host, cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]), effectively inhibits islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) aggregation through ion-dipole and hydrophobic interactions with different residues of the monomeric peptide in its random-coil conformation. A HSQC NMR study shows that CB[7] likely modulates IAPP self-assembly by interacting with and masking major residues present in the 'hot segments' at the N terminus. CB[7] also prevents the formation of toxic oligomers and inhibits seed-catalyzed fibril proliferation. Importantly, CB[7] recovers rat insulinoma cells (RIN-m) from IAPP-assembly associated cytotoxicity.
