Synthesis and Evaluation of Spumigin Analogues Library with Thrombin Inhibitory Activity
Spumigins are marine natural products derived from cyanobacteria Nodularia spumigena, which mimics the structure of the d-Phe-Pro-Arg sequence and is crucial for binding to the active site of serine proteases thrombin and factor Xa. Biological evaluation

Three-Step Synthesis of Cyclopropyl Peptidomimetics
An efficient approach to novel cyclopropyl peptidomimetics has been developed. The synthetic route involves a cyclopropanation using ethyl (dimethylsulfuranylidene)acetate (EDSA) as the key step and affords a cyclopropyl peptidomimetic core in three ...

Bioactive Mimetics of Conotoxins and other Venom Peptides
Ziconotide (Prialt®), a synthetic version of the peptide ω-conotoxin MVIIA found in the venom of a fish-hunting marine cone snail Conus magnus, is one of very few drugs effective in the treatment of intractable chronic pain. However, its intrathecal mode

A two‐pronged screen of small molecules – (1) on recombinant kinin receptor and (2) through topical application – identifies kinin receptor antagonists, feeding behavior modulators, and new mosquitocidal molecules. Abstract BACKGROUND Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes are primary vectors for numerous human and animal pathogens and ...

Protein and Peptide Inhibitors of Mineralization: A Systematic Review of In Vitro Studies
In vitro evidence from crystallization assays demonstrates that peptides inhibit mineral nucleation and crystal growth through sequence‐dependent interactions (acidic residues and phosphorylation) with mineral surfaces. In cell cultures, these molecules reduce calcium deposition and ALP activity and modulate the expression of biomineralization‐related ...

Nickel Photocatalytic Access to β‐Arylated β‐Amino Acids
Converting naturally abundant amino acids to non‐canonical derivatives in one step under mild conditions allows for improved pharmaceutical properties. Now, this is achieved for β‐arylated β‐amino acids, which are available in good yields directly from aspartic acid, and have the potential to become platform chemicals for drug discovery.
