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,

Solid-Phase Synthesis of Amine/Carboxyl Substituted Prolines and Proline Homologues: Scope and Limitations

Molecules, 2016
A solid-phase procedure is used to synthesize racemic peptidomimetics based on the fundamental peptide unit. The peptidomimetics are constructed around proline or proline homologues variably substituted at the amine and carbonyl sites.

Macrocyclic Molecular Glues for the 14‐3‐3/ChREBP Interaction: Affinity and Cooperativity in an Inverse Relationship

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 6, 2 February 2026.
Macrocycles are effective molecular glues to stabilize the 14‐3‐3/ChREBP interaction. Linker length modulation uncovered an inverse correlation between the macrocycle binding affinity to 14‐3‐3 and its cooperativity in 14‐3‐3/ChREBP stabilization.

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.
