A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

ADAM17 and its proteolytic targets in disease pathogenesis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
ADAM17 as a multifunctional sheddase with contrasting roles across inflammatory, metabolic, cardiovascular, and neoplastic diseases. Through regulated activation by iRhom, iTAP/FRMD8, and tetraspanins, ADAM17 cleaves diverse membrane ligands and receptors, thereby promoting inflammation, fibrosis, obesity, insulin resistance, and tumor progression ...

TREM‐1 Blockade Inhibits Inflammasome Activation and Pyroptosis: Novel Insights on the Role of TREM‐1 and Syk in Monosodium Urate Crystal‐Induced Inflammation

Immunology, Volume 178, Issue 2, Page 249-260, June 2026.
Schematic overview of the roles triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells‐1 (TREM‐1) plays in monosodium urate (MSU) crystal‐induced inflammasome activation and IL‐1β secretion in gout arthritis. The present study provides novel data suggesting that blockade of TREM‐1 by LP17 attenuates MSU‐crystal‐induced inflammation through inhibition of ...

Synthesis and Evaluation of Spumigin Analogues Library with Thrombin Inhibitory Activity

Marine Drugs, 2018
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

Inhibitors Targeting SARS‐CoV‐2 Papain‐Like Protease: Screening, Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 9, 14 May 2026.
In our study, we obtained both non‐covalent and covalent PLpro inhibitors. Additionally, the stable protein‐ligand interactions of the active compound were examined using advanced computational docking and molecular dynamics simulations. The non‐covalent inhibitor 2t showed antiviral activity with an EC50 of 2.89 µM, indicating its potential as a ...

Bioactive Mimetics of Conotoxins and other Venom Peptides

Toxins, 2015
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

Cyclic Peptide Conformational Landscapes Through the Lens of Mass Spectrometry and Orthogonal Spectroscopy

Journal of Mass Spectrometry, Volume 61, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Cyclic peptides occupy a structurally dynamic region of chemical space, where function often arises from ensembles rather than a single dominant fold. Closed backbones, frequent N‐methylation, heteroatoms, unnatural amino acids, and a strong propensity for metal coordination create dense conformational and coordination landscapes that ...
