    摘要: Disclosed are compounds, compositions, and methods involving cyclic peptides that can bind to KRAS (G12D) oncogenic protein. For example, disclosed are cyclic peptides that selectively bind KRAS (G12D) oncogenic protein. Also disclosed are methods of inhibiting KRAS (G12D) oncogenic protein in a cancer cell expressing KRAS (G12D) oncogenic protein. In some forms, the method comprises incubating the cancer cell with any one or more of the disclosed cyclic peptides. In some forms, the method comprises bringing into contact the cancer cell with any one or more of the disclosed cyclic peptides.

    摘要: Disclosed is a general, reversible bicyclization strategy to increase both the proteolytic stability and cell permeability of peptidyl drugs. A peptide drug is fused with a short cell-penetrating motif and converted into a conformationally constrained bicyclic structure through the formation of a pair of disulfide bonds. The resulting bicyclic peptide has greatly enhanced proteolytic stability as well as cell-permeability. Once inside the cell, the disulfide bonds are reduced to produce a linear, biologically active peptide. This strategy was applied to generate a cell-permeable bicyclic peptidyl inhibitor against the NEMO-IKK interaction.
