Linear Peptides—A Combinatorial Innovation in the Venom of Some Modern Spiders

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
In the venom of spiders, linear peptides (LPs), also called cytolytical or antimicrobial peptides, represent a largely neglected group of mostly membrane active substances that contribute in some spider species considerably to the killing power of spider

Chemically Regulated STING‐Activating Prodrugs of Deoxyribose Cyclic Dinucleotides Elicit Robust Immune Activation and Durable Antitumor Immunity

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
All three diastereoisomers of an esterase‐sensitive phosphotriester dCDN prodrug demonstrate improved activity. The (Rp,Rp) diastereoisomer shows the highest activity with an EC50 of 1.7 nM in STING activation and displays the most pronounced antitumor activity via intravenous administration, significantly suppressing tumor proliferation, extending the
