This invention discloses short chain peptides that have been constrained to adopt an alpha helical conformation and their use as alpha helical scaffolds for directing amino acid side chains into positions analogous to those found in longer chain alpha helical peptides and for attaching peptidic or non-peptidic appendages in order to mimic side chains of longer alpha helical peptides. More particularly the invention discloses alpha helical cyclic pentapeptides and their use as alpha helical scaffolds or macrocyclic alpha helical modules, either alone, or within longer chain peptides or attached to other macrocyclic peptides or attached to non-peptidic structures, for the purpose of mimicking naturally occurring peptides or proteins, and as agonists or antagonists of the biological activity of naturally-occurring peptides or proteins or for the preparation of new materials.

Disclosed are cyclosporine derivatives in which the 3-Sarcosine carbon and 5-Valine nitrogen are each substituted by a non-hydrogen substituent, and their use as pharmaceuticals, in particular for the treatment of hepatitis C virus.

Methods and compositions are provided that utilize synthetic molecules and genetically encoded polypeptides to generate macrocyclic peptide-containing molecules with a hybrid peptidic/non-peptidic backbone. Also provided are nucleic acid molecules, polypeptides, and methods for generating libraries of macrocyclic peptide-containing molecules with a hybrid peptidic/non-peptidic backbone. These methods can be used to increase the structural diversity of ligand libraries as well as facilitate the functional screening of these libraries to identify compound(s) with desired activity properties.

The present disclosure provides novel macrocyclic peptides which inhibit the PD-1/PD-L1 and PD-L1/CD80 protein/protein interaction, and thus are useful for the amelioration of various diseases, including cancer and infectious diseases.

A macrocyclic peptide deformylase (PDF) inhibitor comprising a peptide or peptide mimetic having three residues, P1′, P2′, and P3′, wherein P2′ connects P1′ and P3′,wherein P1′ and P3′ each have a side chain, and wherein the side chains on P1′ and P3′ are crosslinked to form the macrocyclic PDF inhibitor. The side chains of P1′ and P3′ interact with the PDF active site, and preferably, P2′ has a side chain that interacts with a solvent. Also provided are methods of inhibiting the growth of a bacterium, the methods comprising contacting the bacterium with an anti-bacterial effective amount of the inventive macrocyclic PDF inhibitor. Additionally, a method of treating a bacterial infection in a subject comprising administering an effective amount of a macrocyclic PDF inhibitor to a subject in need of treatment. Additionally, methods of preparing macrocyclic PDF inhibitors comprising a) choosing an acyclic base molecule, having at least some PDF inhibitory activity, the acyclic base molecule having a first residue having a first side chain that interacts with the PDF active site and a second residue having a second that interacts with the PDF active site; and b) crosslinking the first side chain and the second side chain to form a macrocyclic PDF inhibitor.

Compositions are provided for formulations of θ-defensin and/or a θ-defensin analog that are highly suitable for parenteral administration. Such formulations provide the θ-defensin and/or a θ-defensin analog in a slightly acidic buffer that includes propylene glycol. Surprisingly, Inventors have found that such formulation increase bioavailability of a θ-defensin and/or a θ-defensin analog so provided by at least a factor of 10 relative to conventional isotonic saline solutions, and that such formulations dramatically improved bioavailability in human subjects relative to animal models. Inventors have also found that such formulations advantageously exhibit low viscosity at high peptide concentrations, reducing injection volume permitting sterilization by simple filtration.
