This article focuses on drug repurposing/chiral switches of the diastereomeric quasi-enantiomeric antimalarial quinine and antiarrhythmic quinidine, based on the histories of these drugs (1638–2022), applying a widened scope. Quinine, an essential medicine, changed the world. Drug repurposing is a strategy for identifying new uses for approved or investigational drugs outside the scope of the original medical indications. Potential drugs are not included in the definition of drug repurposing. Drug repurposing may be within or outside the therapeutic group, e.g., quinidine to quinine repurposing, from treatment of arrhythmia or severe malaria to uncomplicated malaria. The scope of chiral switches included racemate to single enantiomer and other switches of the status of chirality, e.g., racemate and quasi-racemate to scalemic mixtures. There are 16 quinine/quinidine stereoisomers. Given the multiple pharmacological activities of Cinchona alkaloid stereoisomers, this article calls for subjecting them to comprehensive drug repurposing/chiral switch searches for new medical uses.","PeriodicalId":73122,"journal":{"name":"Future drug discovery","volume":"540 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140448167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results: Several extracts and fractions caused bacterial genome instability. Codeine, in synergy with streptomycin, regulates double-strand break (DSB) repair and causes bacterial ribosome dysfunction in the absence of DSBs, and dysregulation of ribosome biogenesis in a DSB-dependent manner.

Nonetheless, in recent years, general strategies to tackle those shortcomings have been established, and peptides are subsequently gaining increasing interest as drugs due to their unique ability to combine the advantages of antibodies and small molecules. Macrocyclic peptides are a special focus of drug development efforts due to their ability to address so called ‘undruggable’ targets characterized by large and flat protein surfaces lacking binding pockets. Here, the main strategies developed to date for adapting peptides for clinical use are summarized, which may soon help usher in an age highly shaped by peptide-based therapeutics. Nonetheless, limited membrane permeability is still to overcome before peptide therapeutics will be broadly accepted.","PeriodicalId":73122,"journal":{"name":"Future drug discovery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46169376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
