Peptide-based drug design: here and now

Methods in Molecular Biology

Abstract

After many years of stagnation, peptide therapeutics once again became the focus of innovative drug development efforts backed up by venture funds and biotechnology companies. Designer peptide drugs overcome the unattractive pharmacological properties of native peptides and protein fragments and frequently feature nonnatural amino acid or backbone replacements, cyclic or multimeric structures, or peptidic or nonpeptidic delivery modules. With their high specificity and low toxicity profile, biologicals offer viable alternatives to small molecule therapeutics. The development of peptide drugs requires specific considerations of this family of biopolymers. Historically, peptide vaccines to viral infections and antibacterial peptides led the way in clinical development, but recently many other diseases have been targeted, including the big sellers AIDS, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. This book gives practical advice to the most important steps in peptide-based drug development such as isolation, purification, characterization, interaction with targets, structural analysis, stability studies, assessment of biodistribution and pharmacological parameters, sequence modifications, and high throughput screening. This brief overview pr...Continue Reading
