Medicinal chemistry research has traditionally focused upon a limited set of biological targets. Many other human disease-related targets have been termed ‘undruggable’ as they have proved largely impervious to modulation by small molecules. However, it is becoming increasingly evident that such targets can indeed be modulated; they are simply being challenged with the wrong types of molecules. Traditionally,...
Based on oligopeptide sequences, structural diversity elements from side chain substitutions and backbone amide modifications are used for the preparation of bioactive peptide mimetics, including δ-amino-b,γ-alkenyl, δ-amino-b,γ-cyclopropyl, and γ-amino-a,b-cyclopropyl dipeptide isosteres. The hybrid molecule XJB-5-131 is composed of an alkene dipeptide isostere, a regular tripeptide sequence extracted...
