Structure–Activity Study, Characterization, and Mechanism of Action of an Antimicrobial Peptoid D2 and Its d- and l-Peptide Analogues

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) constitutes an emerging health problem for companion animals in veterinary medicine. Therefore, discovery of novel antimicrobial agents for treatment of Staphylococcus-associated canine ...

Characterization of Novel Antimicrobial Peptoids [PDF]

open access: yesAntimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1999
ABSTRACT Peptoids differ from peptides in that peptoids are composed of N-substituted rather than alpha-carbon-substituted glycine units. In this paper we report the in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activities of several antibacterial peptoids discovered by screening combinatorial chemistry libraries for bacterial growth ...

The multicomponent approach to N-methyl peptides: total synthesis of antibacterial (–)-viridic acid and analogues

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2012
Two syntheses of natural viridic acid, an unusual triply N-methylated peptide with two anthranilate units, are presented. The first one is based on peptide-coupling strategies and affords the optically active natural product in 20% overall yield over six

Orthogonal protection of peptides and peptoids for cyclization by the thiol-ene reaction and conjugation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Cyclic peptides and peptoids were prepared using the thiol-ene Michael-type reaction. The linear precursors were provided with additional functional groups allowing for subsequent conjugation: an orthogonally protected thiol, a protected maleimide, or an

Peptomer Linkers Enable Kinetic Control over Co‐Delivery of Multiple Chemotherapeutics

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A key challenge in combinatorial chemotherapeutic drug delivery is independent control over release kinetics, especially with drugs of similar size and structure. Here, peptoid substitutions to proteolytically degradable peptides enabled the design of fast and slow‐releasing drug linkers.

The Role of Intimate Dipole Carbonyl–Carbonyl and Hydrogen–Carbonyl Interactions in the Stereocomplexation and Crystallization: The Case of Poly(Cyclohexene Carbonate)

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 49, December 1, 2025.
Isotactic poly(cyclohexene carbonate) crystalizes both as enantiopure polymer and upon stereocomplexation of the two opposite enantiomers. Both structures are characterized by multiple H‐‐‐O═C tight attractive interactions, whereas in the stereocomplex a tight interdigitation of the two enantiomeric chains occurs due to additional intimate dipole ...

Real‐Time Monitoring of Multitarget Antimicrobial Mechanisms of Peptoids Using Label‐Free Imaging with Optical Diffraction Tomography

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2023
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising therapeutics in the fight against multidrug‐resistant bacteria. As a mimic of AMPs, peptoids with N‐substituted glycine backbone have been utilized for antimicrobials with resistance against proteolytic ...

Targeted Drug Delivery using Peptoid Based Nanospheres [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
While medicine has improved greatly in the last couple of decades, there are negative side effects that accompany many drugs. Undesirable side effects could be greatly reduced if non-systemic drug delivery systems were used because the medicine would ...

Proteasome Inhibitors: Harnessing Proteostasis to Combat Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The proteasome is the central component of the main cellular protein degradation pathway. During the past four decades, the critical function of the proteasome in numerous physiological processes has been revealed, and proteasome activity has been linked
