Abstract
Reviewed here are some recent examples of medically important protein targets for which drugs have been identified. These include heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitors as anticancer agents; transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 antagonists as new analgesics; stereospecific inhibition of human mutT homolog MTH1 for ; the binding of R- and S-propranolol by the α1-acid glycoprotein transporter; metallohelical complexes that are nonpeptide α-helical mimetics that enantioselectively target Aβ amyloid for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease; metallohelical assemblies with promising that enantioselectively target DNA of resistant bacteria; nonpeptide α-helical metallohelices that target the DNA of cisplatin-resistant cancer cells; diastereomeric selectivity of phenanthriplatin-guanine adducts; and phenazine biosynthetic enzyme active sites that can host both enantiomers of a racemic ligand simultaneously.
