Peptidomimetic nitrile warheads as SARS-CoV-2 3CL protease inhibitors.
Tragically, the death toll from the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rise, and with variants being observed around the globe new therapeutics, particularly direct-acting antivirals that are easily administered, are desperately needed. Studies targeting the

Copper chelating cyclic peptidomimetic inhibits Aβ fibrillogenesis.
Misfolding of the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) and its subsequent aggregation into toxic oligomers is one of the leading causes of Alzheimer's disease (AD). As a therapeutic approach, cyclic peptides have been modified in many ways and developed as a potential

QSAR Modelling of Peptidomimetic Derivatives towards HKU4-CoV 3CLpro Inhibitors against MERS-CoV
In this paper, we report the relationship between the anti-MERS-CoV activities of the HKU4 derived peptides for some peptidomimetic compounds and various descriptors using the quantitative structure activity relationships (QSAR) methods.

1,2,3-Triazoles as Biomimetics in Peptide Science
Natural peptides are an important class of chemical mediators, essential for most vital processes. What limits the potential of the use of peptides as drugs is their low bioavailability and enzymatic degradation in vivo.

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) mediates VEGFA signaling mainly through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and PLCγ/ERK1/2 pathways. Here we unveil a peptidomimetic (VGB3) based on the interaction between VEGFB and VEGFR1 that unexpectedly binds ...
