Funded Activity Summary

New methods for the synthesis of stable cyclic peptides. This proposal will design, synthesise and evaluate novel carbocyclic analogues of cyclic peptides which have application in the treatment of pain, diabetes management, malaria, and cancer therapy and diagnosis. The carbocyclic analogues will have improved biostability and will also provide the opportunity for oral administration. Carbacyclic analogues of insulin could lead to improved treatment of Australia's 1.2 million diabetics including many Aboriginal Australians who are particularly susceptible to Type II diabetes and its debilitating complications.
