  • Stapled Peptides—A Useful Improvement for Peptide-Based Drugs
    molecules Review Stapled Peptides—A Useful Improvement for Peptide-Based Drugs Mattia Moiola, Misal G. Memeo and Paolo Quadrelli * Department of Chemistry, University of Pavia, Viale Taramelli 12, 27100 Pavia, Italy; [email protected] (M.M.); [email protected] (M.G.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0382-987315 Received: 30 July 2019; Accepted: 1 October 2019; Published: 10 October 2019 Abstract: Peptide-based drugs, despite being relegated as niche pharmaceuticals for years, are now capturing more and more attention from the scientific community. The main problem for these kinds of pharmacological compounds was the low degree of cellular uptake, which relegates the application of peptide-drugs to extracellular targets. In recent years, many new techniques have been developed in order to bypass the intrinsic problem of this kind of pharmaceuticals. One of these features is the use of stapled peptides. Stapled peptides consist of peptide chains that bring an external brace that force the peptide structure into an a-helical one. The cross-link is obtained by the linkage of the side chains of opportune-modified amino acids posed at the right distance inside the peptide chain. In this account, we report the main stapling methodologies currently employed or under development and the synthetic pathways involved in the amino acid modifications. Moreover, we report the results of two comparative studies upon different kinds of stapled-peptides, evaluating the properties given from each typology of staple to the target peptide and discussing the best choices for the use of this feature in peptide-drug synthesis. Keywords: stapled peptide; structurally constrained peptide; cellular uptake; helicity; peptide drugs 1.

  • Sympathoadrenergic Modulation of Hematopoiesis: a Review of Available Evidence and of Therapeutic Perspectives

M. Maestroni Center for Research in Medical Pharmacology, University of Insubria, Varese, Italy Innervation of the bone marrow (BM) has been described more than one century ago, however the first in vivo evidence that sympathoadrenergic fibers have a role in hematopoiesis dates back to less than 25 years ago. Evidence has since increased showing that adrenergic nerves in the BM release noradrenaline and possibly also dopamine, which act on adrenoceptors and dopaminergic receptors (DR) expressed on hematopoietic cells and affect cell survival, proliferation, migration and engraftment ability. Remarkably, dysregulation of adrenergic fibers to the BM is associated with hematopoietic disturbances and myeloproliferative disease. Several adrenergic and dopaminergic agents are already in clinical use for non-hematological indications and with a usually favorable risk-benefit profile, and are therefore potential candidates for Edited by: non-conventional modulation of hematopoiesis.
