Novel Furanoid α-Substitued α-Amino Acid as a Potent Turn Mimic in Peptide Synthesis
Molecules, 2006 A stereoselective approach has been developed to the new sugar amino acid and potential potent turn mimic 5-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-3-deoxy-1,2-O- isopropylidene-3-methoxycarbonylamino-α-D-xylofuranose 3-C-carboxylic acid (12), via the [3,3 ...

Promising Antibiofilm Activity of Peptidomimetics [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Pathogenic biofilms are a global health care concern, as they can cause extensive antibiotic resistance, morbidity, mortality, and thereby substantial economic loss. Scientific efforts have been made over the past few decades, but so far there is no effective treatment targeting the bacteria in biofilms. Antimicrobial peptidomimetics have been proposed

Strategies for the Development of Conotoxins as New Therapeutic Leads
Marine Drugs, 2013 Peptide toxins typically bind to their target ion channels or receptors with high potency and selectivity, making them attractive leads for therapeutic development. In some cases the native peptide as it is found in the venom from which it originates can

Nasal Airway Transcriptome Reflects Selected Asthma‐Associated Gene Signatures in the Lower Airways
Allergy, EarlyView.Seven genes and two gene modules were consistently associated with asthma in both airway compartments in ARMS and were validated in ATLANTIS. The two modules reflected IL‐13 related inflammation and mast cell activity, respectively. Nasal gene signatures provide a non‐invasive proxy for selected bronchial asthma‐associated gene signatures. ARMS, Asthma
