Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and in vivo evaluation of the biodistribution of a 18F-labeled conjugate gold-nanoparticle-peptide with potential biomedical application.

TL;DR: The results show that AuNPs can be covalently and radioactively labeled for PET biodistribution studies and that the highest concentration of the radiolabeled conjugate was found in the bladder and urine with a lower proportion in the intestine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell-Penetrating cis-γ-Amino-l-Proline-Derived Peptides

TL;DR: In addition to their capacity for cellular uptake, these unnatural short length oligomers offer advantages over the well-known penetrating TAT peptide, such as being less toxic than TAT and protease resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of C-2 Arylated Tryptophan Amino Acids and Related Compounds through Palladium-Catalyzed C–H Activation

TL;DR: A C-H activation process allows the preparation of both protected and unprotected arylated-Trp amino acids, directly from the amino acid precursor and aryl iodides, suitable for standard solid-phase peptide synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spacer-free BODIPY fluorogens in antimicrobial peptides for direct imaging of fungal infection in human tissue

TL;DR: A fluorogenic probe to image Aspergillus fumigatus directly in human pulmonary tissue and a fluorogenic Trp-BODIPY amino acid with a spacer-free C-C linkage between Trp and a BODIPy fluorogen, which shows remarkable fluorescence enhancement in hydrophobic microenvironments are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Choosing the Right Coupling Reagent for Peptides: A Twenty-Five-Year Journey

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the 25 years of collaboration that brought the release of several products onto the market, together with strategies for the efficient synthesis of peptides and also other molecules of biological interest, broadly adopted by the scientific community.
