Substrate mimicry: Substrate peptidomimetics were designed and showed potent inhibition of plasmepsin X (PMX). The peptidomimetics block PMX ligand processing, arrest asexual parasites at the schizont stage and potently kill P. falciparum parasites. The peptidomimetics will further assist in the understanding of PMX selectivity and in the development of PMX targeted antimalarials.
底物拟态:设计了底物拟肽并显示出对血浆蛋白酶 X (PMX) 的有效抑制作用。肽模拟物阻断 PMX 配体加工,在裂殖体阶段阻止无性寄生虫并有效杀死恶性疟原虫寄生虫。肽模拟物将进一步帮助理解 PMX 选择性和开发 PMX 靶向抗疟药。
