Описание:

Peptides are among the most versatile bioactive molecules, yet the do not make good drugs, because they are quickly degraded or modified in the body. Thus, drug discovery has turned to the novel field of peptidomimetics, i.e. to design non–peptide compounds mimicking the pharmacophore and thus the activity of the original peptide. These novel compounds open up new perspectives in drug design by providing an entire range of highly specific pharmaceuticals that have a high bioavailability. In particular, the following classes of pseudo–peptides are introduced and examined with regard to their chemical properties, pharmacological activity, as well as practical aspects of synthesis: Oligo–glycines Beta–peptides Gamma–peptides Pyrrole–imidazole polyamides DNA–like peptide nucleic acids Alpha–helical peptide nucleic acids DNA–cleaving pseudo–peptides The first work drawing together knowledge gained on different types of...
