Peptides from natural sources are good starting material to design bioactive agents with desired therapeutic property.
With the aim of obtaining pharmacologically active compounds, we have envisioned that the benzimidazole scaffold could be a good starting material for the development of good MTB inhibitors.
These results indicate that ATA may be a good starting material for the design of a novel class of NA inhibitors for the treatment influenza viruses.
They had only blood serum available, which is not a good starting material, Koopmans says, and besides, once an animal has high levels of antibodies, "you don't expect much luck in finding the virus".
Thus, this makes them a good starting material for the identification of peptides with biological activities including ACE inhibition activity.
Indeed, only the HAWW_5 protein when non-denatured was able to interact with the vector, showing that it is properly folded, functional and might be a good starting material for influenza vaccine construction.
Given the high endothelial content of the lung tissue [ 30, 39, 43], the lung lysates are a good starting material for biochemical investigations and thus, the findings highly significant for ECs of the lung.
Because of its homogeneous structure and composition, the cyanophycin polymer and its derivatives also appear to be good candidates as starting materials for the production of nitrogen-rich commodity products, which are based on nitrogen-rich chemicals, like, for example, nylons.
The intrinsic advantages of the methodology are the use of solvent-free reaction condition without using any toxic reagents or metal catalyst, operational simplicity, recyclability of the solid support, good availability of the starting materials, and excellent yields which make the method attractive, economic, and 'benign by design'.
