Development of cyclic peptide inhibitors of coagulation factor XII and matrix metalloproteinase 2

Jonas Alfred Karl Wilbs

Peptides represent a promising molecular class for drug development. They combine several strengths of small molecules (e.g. efficient tissue diffusion, low immunogenicity and access to chemical synthesis) and key properties of biologics such as monoclonal ...

More DNA–Aptamers for Small Drugs: A Capture–SELEX Coupled with Surface Plasmon Resonance and High-Throughput Sequencing

Carlotta Guiducci, Fabio Mario Spiga

To address limitations in the production of DNA aptamers against small molecules, we introduce a DNA-based capture-SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment) protocol with long and continuous randomized library for more flexibility, ...

Bicyclic peptide ligands pulled out of cysteine-rich peptide libraries

Christian Heinis, Jeremy Touati, Petr Leiman, Shiyu Chen, Julia Morales Sanfrutos, Inmaculada Rentero Rebollo

Bicyclic peptide ligands were found to have good binding affinity and target specificity. However, the method applied to generate bicyclic ligands based on phage-peptide alkylation is technically complex and limits its application to specialized laboratori ...

Phage Selection of Bicyclic Peptide Ligands and Development of a New Peptide Cyclisation Method

Jeremy Touati

Bicyclic peptides binding to targets of interest can be isolated from combinatorial libraries using a phage display-based approach. In a first project of this thesis, we aimed at generating bicyclic peptide inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a ...

Dicarboxylate-Bridged Ruthenium Complexes as Building Blocks for Molecular Nanostructures

Kay Severin, Rosario Scopelliti, Benan Kilbas

Ruthenium complexes with bridging dicarboxylate ligands were combined with 1,2-di-4-pyridylethylene (dpe), 2,4,6-tri-4-pyridyltriazine (4-tpt), or 2,4,6-tri-3-pyridyltriazine (3-tpt) to give a tetranuclear rectangle or hexanuclear coordination cages. The c ...

Synthesis of Glycomimetics as Potential Anti-Cancer Agents

Annabelle Gillig

Cancer cells exhibit different properties that make them dangerous to the host, such as the ability to invade other tissues and the abnormal response to the control mechanisms that regulate the division of normal cells, which allow them to divide in a rela ...

Synthesis and evaluation of 2'-O-substituted oligoribonucleotide analogues with new properties

Luc Reymond

During a previous, exploratory project in our group, it was observed that duplexes formed by oligonucleotides modified with polar 2'-O-substituents were more tolerant towards the addition of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) than RNA and DNA duplexes [1]. Inspired ...
