Sulfonyl fluoride functionality is privileged in that they modify context-specific serine, tyrosine, lysine, histidine and cysteine residues. We have recently harnessed this reactivity to target reactive tyrosine residues in a protein binding site (that of the decapping scavenger enzyme DcpS) for the first time. This led to the development of a method to quantify target engagement in-cell that more accurately assesses physiologically-relevant pharmacology.

2 nd Annual Peptides Congress Day One 20 th April 2015 16.20 16.50 Bi-Cyclic Peptides Drug Conjugates The Bicycle technology is based on repertoires of peptides displayed on the surface of bacteriophages which can be modified with organochemical scaffolds to create a diverse array of constrained peptides. These repertoires have been extensively used for iterative selections to identify high affinity binding peptides for a wide array of targets, including receptors, interleukins and proteases. The bicycle peptides show antibody-like properties such as low to sub-nanomolar affinities and exquisite selectivity, but in a 100-fold smaller, chemically synthesized format. Due to their small size, these small entities extravasate and penetrate tumours much more efficiently than antibodies. Bicycle Therapeutics will present results from its pre-clinical programs addressing 4 different oncology targets to deliver cytotoxic payloads to tumour cells.

2 nd Annual Peptides Congress Day Two 21 st April 2015 15.30 16.00 Engineering Peptide Inhibitors Of PCSK9 For LDL Cholesterol Lowering Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) circulates in blood and is a negative regulator of liver LDL receptors. Therapeutic inhibition of PCSK9 by monoclonal antibodies shows remarkable reductions of LDL cholesterol levels in ongoing clinical trials. Development of small molecule inhibitors is hampered by the challenging nature of the target PCSK9. We used established phage display technologies to generate structured peptides that inhibit PCSK9 function, such as affinity-improved variants of the LDL-receptor EGF(A) domain, which neutralized PCSK9 in-vitro and in-vivo. In a different phage display approach, we were able to obtain a small 13 amino acid peptide, which completely inhibits LDL receptor binding and displays partial structural mimicry of the EGF(A) domain. The results demonstrate the feasibility of developing peptidic inhibitors to functionally relevant sites on PCSK9. Daniel Kirchhofer, Principal Scientist, Early Discovery Biochemistry, Genentech 16.00 16.30 Peptide Therapeutics - Current Status And Future Directions At Zealand Pharma ( Zealand ) we invent, design, synthetize, and develop peptide-based therapeutics as potential new medicines. Peptides are recognized for being highly selective and efficacious and at the same time relatively safe and well tolerated. Consequently, there is an increased interest in peptides in pharmaceutical R&D and approximately 140 peptide therapeutics are currently being evaluated in clinical trials. As the low-hanging fruits in the form of obvious peptide targets have already been picked, it has now become necessary to explore new routes beyond traditional peptide design. Examples of such approaches are multifunctional and cell-penetrating peptides as well as peptide drug conjugates. Here, we discuss the current status, the strengths and weaknesses of peptides as medicines and the emerging new opportunities in peptide drug design and development.
