MeSH-головна: ПЕПТИДОМИМЕТИКИ -- PEPTIDOMIMETICS (анализ) ФУРИН -- FURIN (анализ, антагонисты и ингибиторы, химия) ОБЗОР -- REVIEW ОНКОЛОГИЯ МЕДИЦИНСКАЯ -- MEDICAL ONCOLOGY (тенденции) БИОДОСТУПНОСТЬ -- BIOLOGICAL AVAILABILITY Анотація: The review is devoted to the analysis of the relationship between a chemical structure and properties of low-molecular weight inhibitors of furin, the most studied proprotein convertase, which is involved in the development of some pathologies, such as oncologic diseases, viral and bacterial infections, etc. The latest data concerning the influence of peptides, pseudo-peptides, aromatic and heterocyclic compounds, some natural ones such as flavonoids, coumarins, and others on enzyme inactivation are considered. The power of furin inhibition is shown to rise with the increasing number of positively charged groups in the structure of these compounds. Peptidomimetics (Ki = 5-8 pM) are shown to be the most effective furin inhibitors. The synthesized substances, however, have not been used in practical application yet. Nowadays it is very important to find more selective inhibitors, improve their stability, bioavailability and safety for the human organism Дод.точки доступу: Shybyryn, O. V. Kibirev, V. K.
