Jones, Eric D. Masters of Science, Purdue University, October 2013. THE DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF PEPTIDOMEMETIC SERINE-BASED PRODRUGS AS 14-3-3 INHIBITORS. Major Professor: Richard Borch
This work describes the design and synthesis of peptidomimetics for the inhibition of the protein-protein interactions (PPI) with 14-3-3. This protein is a promiscuous binder of other proteins with a variety of key functions such as the regulation of proapoptotic proteins (e.g. FOXO, BAD), suppression of tumor growth, and sensitizing cells to other drugs. The promiscuous binding is the result of PPIs being shallow binding sites which accept many proteins and modify their activity. Compounds …
