Abstract:
Stabilized peptide therapeutics have the potential to hit currently undruggable targets, dramatically expanding the druggable genome. However, major obstacles to their development include poor intracellular delivery, rapid degradation, low target affinity, and membrane toxicity. With the emergence of multiple stabilization techniques and screening technologies, the high efficacy of various bioactive peptides has been demonstrated in vitro, albeit with limited success in vivo. We discuss here the chemical and pharmacokinetic barriers to achieving in vivo efficacy, analyze the characteristics of FDA-approved peptide drugs, and propose a developmental tool that considers the molecular properties of stabilized peptides in a comprehensive and quantitative manner to achieve the necessary rates for in vivo delivery to the target, efficacy, and ultimately clinical translation.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
