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 ...
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome encodes for eleven eukaryotic-like Ser/Thr protein kinases. At least three of these (PknA, PknB and PknG) are essential for bacterial growth and survival. PknG is secreted by pathogenic mycobacteria, in macrophages to ...
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is an important therapeutic target for the treatment of diseases such as cancer that involve pathological immune escape. We have used the evolutionary docking algorithm EADock to design new inhibitors of this enzyme. First ...
Malaria remains a major killer in many parts of the world. Recently, the development of nonprofit organisations aimed at fighting this deadly scourge incited academic and industrial scientists to merge their expertise in drug-target validation and lead dis ...
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a major mediator in innate immunity and inflammation and a potential therapeutic target in multiple inflammatory, infectious and autoimmune diseases including cancer. Current therapeutic strategies for target ...
The identification of the targets of therapeutic drugs is one of the major challenges for pharmaceutical companies. The main target responsible for drug action is often known, but most drugs also bind other targets, either causing deleterious side effects ...
The importance of protein kinases in cell signaling and cell cycle control has led to detailed structural and functional studies in various eukaryotes, and hence to the synthesis of specific chemical inhibitors for managing disease. Here, the current progr ...
This article reports the design, synthesis and results of first in vitro model studies of a conceptually novel class of polymer therapeutics in which the cargo is attached to a polymer backbone via a noncovalent, biologically inspired coiled coil linker, w ...
The preparation of [(2S,3S,4R)-3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidin-2-yl]furan derivatives in a stereoselective route starting from D-glucose and ethyl acetoacetate is presented. Ethyl ester (6), N,N-diethylamide (7) and N-isopropylamide (8) have been tested towards 25 ...
New 2-(aminomethyl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidine-3,4-diol derivatives were synthesized from (5S)-5-[(trityloxy)methyl]pyrrolidin-2-one (6) (Schemes 1 and 2) and their inhibitory activities toward 25 glycosidases assayed (Table). The influence of the config ...
