Peptidomimetics Development Platform
Peptidomimetics refers to compounds that have a secondary structure compared with natural peptides and retain other similar structural characteristics of natural peptides. Our company's peptidomimetics development platform has rich experience in cooperation with the global pharmaceutical industry, and we employ world-class scientists to build platforms and develop innovative technologies for peptidomimetics development services, which have the ability to speed up your rare disease research process.
Overview of Peptidomimetics
Peptides are widely used in the therapeutics of diseases, but natural endogenous peptides have many limitations of their own, such as sensitivity to proteases and insufficient membrane permeability. Peptidomimetics can be prepared through the medicinal chemistry approach and biophysical approach, by appropriately modifying the functional properties of the initial peptide. This breaks through the limitations of the initial peptide and achieves higher bioavailability and oral bioavailability, while reducing side effects and protease degradation.

Historically, peptidomimetics are usually divided into three classes: type I mimetics (structural mimetics), type II mimetics (functional mimetics), and type III mimetics (functional-structural mimetics). Recently, a new classification has been proposed, which is specifically divided into:
Class A mimetics
Class A mimetics only introduce a limited number of modified amino acids based on the parent peptide to achieve the purpose of stabilizing biological activity.
Class B mimetics
Class B mimetics are constructed by introducing non-naturally amino acids, small molecule building blocks and/or major backbone alterations.
Class C mimetics
Class C mimetics are highly modified, completely replacing the peptide backbone, and have an obvious small molecule structure.
Class D mimetics
Class D mimetics are the least similar to the parent peptide. The generation methods of this molecule include: affinity optimization of class C molecules, compound library screening or in silico screening.
