Peptidomimetics in Silico

Molecular Informatics, 2020
AbstractEndogenous peptides as part of physiological processes are targets of interest when it comes to finding desirable therapeutics which are able to modulate molecular interactions. The major limits presented by peptides when they are used as drugs have motivated the research of the synthesis of peptidomimetics obtained through chemical ...

Peptidomimetics and Angiogenesis

Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry, 2002
Angiogenesis is the sprouting of new blood capillaries from surrounding preexisting blood vessels. This process is fundamental for embryonic development, wound healing and inflammation. In healthy adults angiogenesis is of minor importance. However, aberrant angiogenesis is essentially involved in disorders as diabetic retinopathy, rheumatoid arthritis

Peptidomimetic design

Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 1998
Major discoveries have been made of new type-I and type-III peptidomimetic inhibitors of peptide-derived systems. Innovative reversible inhibitors of cysteine proteases and renin, and additional examples of peptidomimetic inhibitors of interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme, neutral endopeptidase, herpes simplex virus protease, thrombin, HIV protease ...

Aminimides as Peptidomimetics

2003
Highly selective and specific protein-protein and peptide-protein interactions are elicited by a large number of natural specific biological responses. The mimicry of these natural interactions has been an important and useful strategy for the development of metabolically stable drugs capable of being administered orally (1-4).

Formylated polyamines as peptidomimetics

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2012
A new construct for imitating a natural peptide ligand using a modified retro-inverso sequence is described. It is demonstrated through the synthesis of a peptidomimetic derived from the endogenous sequence of leucine enkephalin. The product was active at 400 nM and selective for μ-opioid receptors.

Peptidomimetics in cancer chemotherapy

Clinical and Translational Oncology, 2007
A summary of the current status of the application of peptidomimetics in cancer therapeutics as an alternative to peptide drugs is provided. Only compounds that are used in therapy or at least under clinical trials are discussed, using inhibitors of farnesyltransferase, proteasome and matrix metalloproteinases as examples.

Minimalist and universal peptidomimetics

Chemical Society Reviews, 2011
Many "new generation" peptidomimetics are designed to present amino acid side chains only; they do not have structural features that resemble peptide main chains. These types of molecules have frequently been presented in the literature as mimics of specific secondary structures.

Synthesis of oligopeptide and peptidomimetic libraries

Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 1997
The elaboration of peptide libraries prepared by either chemical or biological methods in a format useful for discovery of peptides with specific biological activities was first introduced in the 1980s. A virtual explosion of activity in this area has occurred recently, and the basic approaches have been applied to a wide variety of chemistries and for

Oxetanyl Amino Acids for Peptidomimetics

Organic Letters, 2017
Peptides are important in the drug discovery process. In analogy to nonpeptidic small-molecule counterparts, they can sometimes suffer from disadvantages such as their low bioavailability and poor metabolic stability. Herein, we report the synthesis of new oxetanyl dipeptides and their incorporation into Leu-enkephalin analogues as proof-of-principle ...
