The invention provides a novel PF4 pharmacophore that is useful, inter alia, for identifying peptidomimetics and other compounds capable of modulating PF4 activity (e.g., as inhibitors, agonists or antagonists). Mutant PF4 polypeptide sequences are also provided that modulate PF4 activity in cells.
New Synthetic Technology for the Rapid Construction of Novel Heterocycles—Part 1: The Reaction of Dess - Martin Periodinane with Anilides and Related Compounds
commercial building blocks. The mechanism by which these periodinanes interact with anilides is also explored. This exciting new class of chemical reactions was discovered during the course of the total synthesis of the CP molecules and leads to compounds which are relevant to chemical biology investigations and pharmaceutical research.
