To summarize recent publications in the field of apolipoprotein mimetics.
Apolipoprotein mimetic peptides continue to show efficacy in a number of animal models of disease and demonstrate properties that make them attractive as potential therapeutic agents. A number of new apolipoprotein mimetics have been described recently. A major site of action of apolipoprotein mimetic peptides was found to be in the small intestine in which they decrease the levels of proinflammatory bioactive lipids. A major problem related to the use of apolipoprotein mimetic peptides is their cost, particularly those that need to be generated by solid phase synthesis with chemical addition of end-blocking groups. Novel approaches to apolipoprotein mimetic therapy have emerged recently that show promise in overcoming these barriers.
Despite the recent failure of therapies designed to raise HDL-cholesterol in humans, an approach to therapy using mimetics of HDL and its components continues to show promise.
总结载脂蛋白模拟物领域的近期出版物。
载脂蛋白模拟肽在多种疾病动物模型中持续显示出疗效,并展现出使其成为潜在治疗药物的吸引力的特性。最近描述了一些新的载脂蛋白模拟物。发现载脂蛋白模拟肽的一个主要作用部位是小肠,它们在小肠中可降低促炎生物活性脂质的水平。与使用载脂蛋白模拟肽相关的一个主要问题是其成本,特别是那些需要通过固相合成并化学添加封端基团来制备的肽。最近出现了载脂蛋白模拟物治疗的新方法,有望克服这些障碍。
尽管最近旨在提高人类高密度脂蛋白胆固醇的疗法失败了,但使用高密度脂蛋白及其成分模拟物的治疗方法仍显示出前景。
