Ligands for oral delivery of peptides across the blood-brain-barrier
Acta Materia Medica, 2022 Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Many peptides and proteins are limited by their poor enzymatic stability and permeability across the intestinal epithelial membranes and/or blood-brain barrier (BBB).

Novel approaches in development of cell penetrating peptides
Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Research, 2021 Therapeutic cargos which are impermeable to the cell can be delivered by cell penetrating peptides (CPPs). CPP-cargo complexes accumulate by endocytosis inside the cells but they fail to reach the cytosolic space properly as they are often trapped in the

Effective Design of Multifunctional Peptides by Combining Compatible Functions.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2016 Multifunctionality is a common trait of many natural proteins and peptides, yet the rules to generate such multifunctionality remain unclear. We propose that the rules defining some protein/peptide functions are compatible. To explore this hypothesis, we

Optimization of the cyclotide framework to improve cell penetration properties
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2015 Cell penetrating peptides have been regarded as promising vectors to deliver hydrophilic molecules inside cells. Although they are great tools for research and have high potential as drug delivery systems, their application as drugs is impaired by their ...

Dendritic Guanidines as Efficient Analogues of Cell Penetrating Peptides
Pharmaceuticals, 2010 The widespread application of cell penetrating agents to clinical therapeutics and imaging agents relies on the ability to prepare them on a large scale and to readily conjugate them to their cargos. Dendritic analogues of cell penetrating peptides, with
