Peptide-mediated delivery of antisense oligonucleotides and chemotherapeutics across biological barriers
Many nucleic acids, peptides, and small molecules struggle to become clinically viable therapeutics as a result of poor delivery. Biological barriers such as the plasma membrane and the blood-brain barrier (BBB) contribute to this challenge as they can limit the passage of macromolecules. …

Novel Bifunctional Ligands For Neuropathic Pain: Design and Synthesis of Overlapping Pharmacophores of Opioid and Melanocortin Ligands
… neuropathic pain. In our new approach, single peptide molecules are designed to interact with opioid receptors as an agonist, and as an antagonist at the MC4 receptor. For the treatment of pain, a series of linear and cyclic peptides based on the overlapping pharmacophores of endogenous …

Design and Synthesis of Hyaluronan:RHAMM Interaction Inhibitors
… for treating cancer but truncation of RHAMM into peptides mimicking only the HA binding domains is predicted to lose their natural α-helical structure. The goal of this project is to explore the effects cyclizing each binding domain has on helicity and its biological effect. Eighteen peptides were …
