Now a days, peptidomimetics are widely studied, being useful tools in drug discovery and medicinal chemistry. The coupling between a carboxylic acid with an amine to form a peptide bond is the most common...
Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) have been recognized as a promising target for the development of new drugs, as proved by the growing number of PPI modulators reaching clinical trials. In this context, peptides represent a...

Supramolecular gels were developed by taking advantage of an assembly of small dipeptides containing pyrrolo-pyrazole scaffolds. The dipeptides were prepared through a robust and ecofriendly synthetic approach from the commercially available starting materials of...
Aggregation-induced emitting (AIE) luminophores are sensitive and easy-to-handle types of robes that allow driving a stimulus-responsive off/on optical tool through the manipulation of the aggregation behavior. In this work, tetraphenylethene (TPE)-phenylalanine derivatives, haracterized by...

We prepared a small library of short peptidomimetics based on 3-pyrrolo-pyrazole carboxylate, a non-coded γ-amino acid, and glycine or alanine. The robust and eco-friendly synthetic approach adopted allows to obtain the dipeptides in two...

Though the bulk of the COVID-19 pandemic is behind, the search for effective and safea anti-SARS-CoV-2 drugs continues to be relevant. A highly pursued approach for antiviral drug development involves targeting the viral spike...
Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), which is confined to mitochondria of normal healthy cells, is the first identified caspase-independent cell death effector. Moreover, AIF is required for the optimal functioning of the respiratory chain machinery. Recent...
