Area of Science:

  • Chemical Biology
  • Medicinal Chemistry
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Protein-protein interactions (PPIs), particularly alpha-helix mediated ones, are crucial in biological processes and are significant targets for therapeutic intervention.
  • Developing small molecule inhibitors for PPIs remains a challenge in drug discovery.
  • Proteomimetics offer a promising strategy to mimic protein structures for therapeutic purposes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel N-alkylated aromatic oligoamide scaffold for proteomimetic design.
  • To establish a solid-phase synthesis method for these proteomimetic scaffolds.
  • To demonstrate the utility of these scaffolds in identifying inhibitors of alpha-helix mediated PPIs, specifically the p53-hDM2 interaction.
