Identification of a novel and high-affinity cyclic peptide targeting Keap1 for inflammation treatment by a combined virtual screening strategy [PDF]
Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal ChemistryInhibition of the Keap1-Nrf2 protein-protein interaction with cyclic peptides represents an attractive strategy to treat inflammation. However, the cyclic peptides for this inhibition are constrained by their low affinity. In this study, the peptides 1-6

Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2016 For decades the opioid receptors have been an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of pain. Since the first discovery of enkephalin, approximately a dozen endogenous opioid peptides have been known to produce opioid activity and analgesia, but their therapeutics have been limited mainly due to low blood brain barrier penetration and poor ...
