Trypanothione disulfide reductase (TryR) is an essential homodimeric enzyme of trypanosomatid parasites that has been validated as a drug target to fight human infections. Using peptides and peptidomimetics, we previously obtained proof of concept that disrupting protein–protein interactions at the dimer interface of Leishmania infantum TryR (LiTryR) offered an innovative and so far unexploited opportunity
锥虫二硫化物还原酶 (TryR) 是锥虫寄生虫的一种必不可少的同型二聚酶,已被验证为对抗人类感染的药物靶点。使用肽和肽模拟物,我们之前获得了概念证明,即在婴儿利什曼原虫TryR (Li TryR )的二聚体界面上破坏蛋白质 - 蛋白质相互作用为开发新型抗利什曼原虫药物提供了一个创新且迄今为止尚未开发的机会。现在,我们表明将我们之前的肽原型TRL38 连接到选定的疏水部分提供了一系列新的小分子肽缀合物,它们可以作为Li TryR 活性和二聚化的良好抑制剂。
