Abstract: The invention provides a method of treating tumors by adminstering to a human or animal patient an effective amount of a molecule of 2 to 4 amino acids or equivalent subunits in length, which incorporates a bulky and lipophilic group comprising at least 13 non-hydrogen atoms and containing no more than 2 polar functional groups, in which the bulky and lipophilic group incorporates one or more closed rings of 5 or more non-hydrogen atoms, and in which the molecule further has at least two more cationic than anionic moieties.

Abstract: In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a method for the preparation of alkynylpiperidine and alkynylpiperidine derivatives. In particular, a method is provided for preparing alkynylpiperidine derivatives starting from epoxide compounds. Further, the alkynylpiperidine derivatives according to the present inventions are substituted trans-3-4-alkynylpiperidine derivatives. In another aspect, triazolylpiperidine compounds and methods for said preparation are provided. In particular, the triazolylpiperidine compounds according to the present invention are obtained by reacting an alkynylpiperidine derivatives with an organic azid, preferably, in the presence of a Cu (I) or Ru catalyst. In a preferred embodiment, 1,4-disubstituted or 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazolylpiperidine compounds are provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a molecule comprising a backbone of 2 to 35 non-hydrogen atoms in length, having covalently attached thereto at least two bulky and lipophilic groups and having at least one more cationic than anionic moiety, in the manufacture of a medicament for destabilising microbial cell membranes and the use as a membrane acting antimicrobial agent of a molecule comprising a backbone of 2 to 35 non-hydrogen atoms in length, having covalently attached thereto a super bulky and lipophilic group comprising at least 9 non-hydrogen atoms and having at least two more cationic than anionic moieties and to methods of treatment involving such molecules, in particular peptides including peptide derivatives, and peptidomimetics.
