De novo developed small cyclic peptides that are orally available

Manuel Leonardo Merz

Cyclic peptides are ring-shaped molecules that emerged as a promising class of therapeutics. While it is often difficult to find small molecule binders for challenging disease targets, cyclic peptides can bind to featureless surfaces or inhibit protein-pro ...

Cell administration routes for heart failure: a comparative re-evaluation of the REGENERATE-DCM and REGENERATE-IHD trials

John Martin Kolinski, Didier Locca

Aims: Given the logistical issues surrounding intramyocardial cell delivery, we sought to address the efficacy of the simpler, more accessible intracoronary route by re-evaluating REGENERATE-DCM and REGENERATE-IHD (autologous cell therapy trials for heart ...

Towards the Development of Orally Available Peptide Therapeutics

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong

Peptides have a number of attractive properties that make them an interesting modality for drug development, including their ability to bind challenging targets, their high target specificity, and their non-toxic metabolic products. However, a major limita ...

De novo development of proteolytically resistant therapeutic peptides for oral administration

Christian Heinis, Florence Pojer, Luciano Andres Abriata, Xudong Kong, Kaycie Marie Butler, Vanessa Carle

The oral administration of peptide drugs is hampered by their metabolic instability and limited intestinal uptake. Here, we describe a method for the generation of small target-specific peptides (less than 1,600 Da in size) that resist gastrointestinal pro ...

Recent Considerations in the Application of RAPTA-C for Cancer Treatment and Perspectives for Its Combination with Immunotherapies

Paul Joseph Dyson, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska

The organometallic ruthenium(II) [Ru(arene)Cl2PTA] PTA - 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane compound, RAPTA-C, represents an innovative anti-cancer therapeutic and a better-tolerated alternative to platinum (Pt)-based chemotherapeutic drugs in the treatment ...

The FDA-approved natural product dihydroergocristine reduces the production of the Alzheimer's disease amyloid-beta peptides

Patrick Fraering

Known gamma-secretase inhibitors or modulators display an undesirable pharmacokinetic profile and toxicity and have therefore not been successful in clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease (AD). So far, no compounds from natural products have been identifi ...

An Oral Formulation of Angiotensin-(1-7) Reverses Corpus Cavernosum Damages Induced by Hypercholesterolemia

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Introduction The renin angiotensin system plays a crucial role in erectile function. It has been shown that elevated angiotensin-II levels contribute to the development of erectile dysfunction (ED). Oppositely, angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-[1-7]) mediates penile ...

Adeno-Associated Virus-Mediated Gene Delivery for the Treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and other Motor Neuron Disorders

Christopher Towne

The delivery of molecules and genes to the central nervous system (CNS) poses a major challenge for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. CNS disorders require long-term intervention and the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) restricts the pe ...

Carbon Monoxide-Releasing Micelles for Immunotherapy

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Jutta Christine Wandrey

With the discovery of important biological roles of carbon monoxide (CO), the use of this gas as a therapeutic agent has attracted attention. However, the medical application of this gas has been hampered by the complexity of the administration method. To ...

Immunoisolated cell implants for intracerebral delivery of anti-Aß single chain Fv antibodies in the APP23 Alzheimer's mouse model

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the elderly population. AD currently affects approximately 27 million people worldwide. A pathological hallmark of AD is the accumulation and deposition of the amyloid beta (Aβ) pe ...

The copper chelator d-penicillamine delays onset of disease and extends survival in a transgenic mouse model of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Patrick Aebischer, Eric Garrison Fine

A subpopulation of familial cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis has been linked to mutations in the gene encoding Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1). There is in vitro evidence that certain SOD1 mutants, in addition to their normal dismutation function, ...

Rescue of motoneurons from axotomy-induced cell death by polymer encapsulated cells genetically engineered to release CNTF

Patrick Aebischer, Nicole Déglon

The neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) results from the progressive loss of motoneurons, leading to death in a few years. Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), which decreases naturally occurring and axotomy-induced cell death, may ...
