Who will develop new antibacterial agents?

The golden age of antimicrobial drug development is a distant memory, and the likelihood of there being another seems slim. In part, this is because the pharmaceutical industry, which has now adopted an unsustainable business model, abandoned the anti-infe ...

Peptide ligands stabilized by small molecules

Christian Heinis, Florence Pojer, Alessandro Angelini, Shiyu Chen, Davide Bertoldo

Bicyclic peptides generated through directed evolution by using phage display offer an attractive ligand format for the development of therapeutics. Being nearly 100-fold smaller than antibodies, they promise advantages such as access to chemical synthesis ...

Phage selection of cyclic peptide antagonists with increased stability toward intestinal proteases

Christian Heinis, Vanessa Baeriswyl

The oral delivery of protein and peptide drugs is limited by their proteolytic degradation and the poor absorption across the intestinal epithelia. In this work, we exposed a phage library of small bicyclic peptides (

Directed Evolution of Bicyclic Peptides for Therapeutic Application

Christian Heinis, Philippe Diderich

Many naturally occurring cyclic peptides or derivatives thereof are used as therapeutics such as the human hormones vasopressin and oxytocin or the antibiotics vancomycin and daptomycin. The success of cyclic peptide therapeutics is based on their ability ...

Phage selection of bicyclic peptides

Christian Heinis, Inmaculada Rentero Rebollo

Bicyclic peptides are small, constrained peptides that can bind with high affinity and selectivity to protein targets. Their small size provides a number of advantages over larger protein-based ligands, including access to chemical synthesis, better tissue ...

Tracking chemical reactions on the surface of filamentous phage using mass spectrometry

Christian Heinis, Shiyu Chen, Jeremy Touati

Chemical modification of phage libraries has allowed the in vitro evolution of ligands having properties not provided by natural polypeptides. The development of novel and more diverse chemical reactions on phage was hampered by the lack of analytical meth ...

A problem of persistence: still more questions than answers?

John McKinney

The current antibiotic resistance crisis has led to increased pressure to prioritize strategies to tackle the issue, with a strong focus being placed on the development of novel antimicrobials. However, one major obstacle that is often overlooked is persis ...

Polycyclic Peptide Therapeutics

Christian Heinis, Vanessa Baeriswyl

Owing to their excellent binding properties, high stability, and low off-target toxicity, polycyclic peptides are an attractive molecule format for the development of therapeutics. Currently, only a handful of polycyclic peptides are used in the clinic; ex ...

Phage display libraries of differently sized bicyclic peptides

Christian Heinis, Inmaculada Rentero Rebollo, Alessandro Angelini

Phage selections with combinatorial libraries of uniformly sized bicyclic peptides have recently yielded potent and selective binders of several protein targets. In this work we varied in a combinatorial fashion the ring sizes of bicyclic peptides in phage ...
