Structure-Activity Relationship

Overlap of On-demand Ultra-large Combinatorial Spaces with On-the-shelf Drug-like Libraries.

On-demand combinatorial spaces are shifting paradigms in early drug discovery, by considerably increasing the searchable chemical space to several billions of compounds while …

Discovery of a Locally and Orally Active CXCL12 Neutraligand (LIT-927) with Anti-inflammatory Effect in a Murine Model of Allergic Airway Hypereosinophilia

We previously reported Chalcone-4 (1) that binds the chemokine CXCL12, not its cognate receptors CXCR4 or CXCR7, and neutralizes its biological activity.

Regenass, P.

Synthesis, biological evaluation, and automated docking of constrained analogues of the opioid peptide H-Dmt-D-Ala-Phe-Gly-NH₂ using the 4- or 5-methyl substituted 4-amino-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-2-benzazepin-3-one scaffold.

The Phe(3) residue of the N-terminal tetrapeptide of dermorphin (H-Dmt-d-Ala-Phe-Gly-NH(2)) was conformationally constrained using 4- or 5-methyl-substituted …

De Wachter, R.

Substituting nonpeptidic spacers for the T cell receptor-binding part of class I major histocompatibility complex-binding peptides.

X-ray diffraction studies as well as structure-activity relationships indicate that the central part of class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-binding nonapeptides …

Krebs, S.

Fine specificity of antigen binding to two class I major histocompatibility proteins (B*2705 and B*2703) differing in a single amino acid residue.

Starting from the X-ray structure of a class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-encoded protein (HLA-B*2705), a naturally presented self-nonapeptide and two synthetic …
