A NOVEL HIGH AFFINITY BIVALENT HELICALLY CONSTRAINED PEPTIDE AGAINST CANCER

摘要

The present invention describes a novel bivalent helically constrained peptide targeted against S100B that is an effective anti-cancer drug against cancers that over-express S100B. This helix mimetic targeted against S100B induces rapid apoptosis in cancer cells that over-express a calcium binding protein S100B through simultaneous inhibition of key growth pathways including activation of p53.
