Abstract:Background and purpose: Peptides constitute an interesting starting
point for drugs, although research on them is quite slowed by the fact
that most of them are non-patentable. Given that carnosine, β-Ala-His
dipeptide, was found useful in cancer treatment, we aimed to inspect
whether its similar structures could also possess such activity.
Experimental Approach: The interdisciplinary approach allows for the
much more detailed analysis, hence our study presents computational
analysis of potential targets and t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
