Peptidomimetics for Receptor Ligands—Discovery, Development, and Medical Perspectives

Giannis, Athanassios, Kolter, Thomas·1993·Angewandte Chemie International Edition in English

Abstract

Peptides, as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, and hormones, influence a multitude of physiological processes by signal transduction mediated through receptors. In addition, during the last 20 years their role in the appearance or maintenance of various diseases could be unequivocally proven. Agents that can imitate or block the biological functions of bioactive peptides (agonists or antagonists, respectively) can be considered as aids for the investigation of peptidergic systems and also as therapeutic agents. The suitability of bioactive peptides as therapeutic agents was examined after preliminary pharmacological experiments. It was thereby shown that based on their pharmacological properties, for example degradation by peptidases or poor bioavailability, they could be employed as drugs in only a few cases. To solve this problem peptidomimetics, compounds that act as substitutes for peptides in their interaction with receptors, have been synthesized. In comparison with native peptides they show higher metabolic stability, better bioavailability, and longer duration of action. Peptidomimetics with antagonistic properties were also developed within the range of these investigations. As a result, new types of treatment and therapy for a series of diseases are possible. Although peptidomimetics have been developed largely by empirical methods (e.g. modification of native peptides, optimization of lead structures), methods for rational design based on investigations into the structure of peptidepeptide receptor complexes and studies of conformation energies, among others, are gradually being established.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
