Abstract: The present invention is directed to peptidomimetics having antibacterial activity, especially against Gram-negative bacteria. The peptidomimetics of the invention are compounds of the general formula (I), P1-P2-P3-P4-P5-P6-P7-P8-P9-P10-P11-P12-P13-P14-P15-P16 ??????????????????????(I) and salts thereof, in particular pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, as described in the description and in the claims. The invention is also directed to therapeutic uses of the peptidomimetics for the treatment or prevention of bacterial infections and diseases related to bacterial infections and to non-therapeutic uses of the peptidomimetics for preserving or disinfecting foodstuffs, cosmetics, medicaments or other nutrient-containing materials.

The invention is also directed to therapeutic uses of the peptidomimetics for the treatment or prevention of bacterial infections and diseases related to bacterial infections and to non-therapeutic uses of the peptidomimetics for preserving or disinfecting foodstuffs, cosmetics, medicaments or other nutrient-containing materials. In addition, the present invention provides an efficient synthetic process by which these compounds can, if desired, be made in parallel library-format. Moreover, the peptidomimetics of the invention show improved antimicrobial activity, low or no hemolysis of red blood cells and reduced cytotoxicity.

Abstract: Novel template-fixed ?-hairpin peptidomimetics of the general formula (I): cyclo[P1-P2-P3-P4-P5-P6-P7-P8-P9-P10-P11-P12-P13-P14-T1-T2] wherein the single elements T or P are ?-amino acid residues connected in either direction which, depending on their positions in the chain, are as defined in the description and the claims, and salts thereof, have the property of antagonizing the biological effect of the receptor FPR1. They can be used as medicaments to treat or prevent diseases or conditions in the areas of inflammatory diseases, allergic conditions, immunological disorders, neuroinflammation, neurological disorders, obstructive airway diseases, infectious diseases, ischemic reperfusion injuries and proliferative disorders such as e.g. cancer. These ?-hairpin peptidomimetics can be manufactured by a process which is based on a mixed solid- and solution phase synthetic strategy.

Abstract: A method of screening for template-fixed ?-hairpin mimetics and libraries including a plurality of these mimetics is provided. The template-fixed ?-hairpin mimetics are of the following general formula: R1-Cys-Z-Cys-R2??I wherein the two cysteine residues are bridged by a disulfide bond, thereby forming a cyclic peptide; R1 and R2 are di- or tripeptide moieties of certain types, as defined herein; and Z is a chain of n amino acid residues with n being an integer from 4 to 20 and with each of these n amino acid residues being, independently, derived from any naturally occurring L-?-amino acid.

Abstract: Novel template-fixed ?-hairpin peptidomimetics of the general formula (I) wherein the single elements T or P are ?-amino acid residues connected in either direction which, depending on their positions in the chain, are as defined in the description and the claims, and salts thereof, have the property to antagonize the receptor CCR10. They can be used as medicaments to treat or prevent diseases or conditions in the area of dermatological and cutaneous disorders, inflammation, allergic disorders, respiratory diseases, diseases of the gastro-intestinal tract, ophthalmic diseases, haematology and cancer. These ?-hairpin peptidomimetics can be manufactured by a process which is based on a mixed solid- and solution phase synthetic strategy.

Abstract: Template-fixed ?-hairpin peptidomimetics of the general formulae wherein Z is a chain of 11 ?-amino acid residues which, depending on their positions in the chain (counted starting from the N-terminal amino acid) are Gly, or Pro, or Pro(4NHCOPhe), or of certain types which, as the remaining symbols in the above formula, are defined in the description and the claims, and salts thereof, have the property to inhibit proteases, in particular serine proteases, especially Cathepsin G or Elastase or Tryptase. These ?-hairpin peptidomimetics can be manufactured by processes which are based on a mixed solid- and solution phase synthetic strategy.
