Therapeutic peptides and peptidomimetics

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1997
Peptidomimetics are one set of probes used in the transition pathway of small molecule drug design. Cyclization of the peptide backbone and its modification with aromatic residues constitutes an effective approach to mimetic drug design and circumvents obstacles associated with delivery and formulation of peptides and peptidomimetics. In the past year,

Phosphorescent Iridium Hydrazinonicotinic Acid (HYNIC) Complexes That Bind to Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen: Potential Photodynamic Therapy of Prostate Cancer

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A phosphorescent iridium(III) complex has been prepared with a 6‐hydrazinonicotinic acid (HYNIC) ligand tethered to a lysine‐ureido‐glutamatic acid pharmacophore, which binds to an enzyme, called prostate‐specific membrane antigen (PSMA), which is overexpressed in prostate cancer.

Ugi multicomponent reaction to prepare peptide–peptoid hybrid structures with diverse chemical functionalities [PDF]

, 2018
Monodisperse sequenced peptides and peptoids present unique nano-structures based on their self-assembled secondary and tertiary structures. However, the generation of peptide and peptoid hybrid oligomers in a sequence-defined manner via Ugi ...

Design of Peptidomimetic Functionalized Cholesterol Based Lipid Nanoparticles for Efficient Delivery of Therapeutic Nucleic Acids

Molecules, 2019
Lipid nanoparticles (LNP) are the most potent carriers for the delivery of nucleic acid-based therapeutics. The first FDA approved a short interfering RNA (siRNA) drug that uses a cationic LNP system for the delivery of siRNA against human transthyretin (

Antimicrobial Cyclic Peptidomimetics

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Singular macromolecular cationic, amphipathic cyclic peptidomimetics with poly(2‐oxazoline)s‐esque backbone structure that undergo self‐assembly in water to form uniform nanoparticles were developed. The cyclic peptidomimetics, which act on bacterial cell membranes, exhibit hydrophobic‐dependent antimicrobial activity and toxicity.

New Morphiceptin Peptidomimetic Incorporating (1S,2R,3S,4S,5R)-2-Amino-3,4,5-trihydroxycyclopen-tane-1-carboxylic acid: Synthesis and Structural Study

Molecules, 2020
We present the synthesis and structural study of a new peptidomimetic of morphiceptin, which can formally be considered as the result of the replacement of the central proline residue of this natural analgesic drug with a subunit of (1S,2R,3S,4S,5R)-2 ...

A Study of Archiving Strategies in Multi-Objective PSO for Molecular Docking [PDF]

, 2016
Molecular docking is a complex optimization problem aimed at predicting the position of a ligand molecule in the active site of a receptor with the lowest binding energy. This problem can be formulated as a bi-objective optimization problem by minimizing
