Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel peptide that specifically binds to nucleolin and, more specifically, to a peptide represented by a specific amino acid sequence, a conjugate comprising the peptide and an anticancer drug, a fusion peptide comprising the peptide and a cell-penetrating peptide, a composition for diagnosing cancer comprising the peptide, and a composition for preventing or treating cancer comprising the peptide or the conjugate. In the present invention, it has been confirmed that a peptide ligand AGM peptide and mutants thereof, as screened using an MAP synthesis method and an OBOC combination method, specifically bind to cancer cells, and a conjugate thereof with an anticancer drug inhibits cancer growth (in vitro and in vivo). Thus, the NCL-targeting AGM peptide can be effectively used for diagnosis and targeted drug delivery in cancer therapy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antiviral use of a novel peptide binding specifically to nucleolin and, more specifically, to: an antiviral composition comprising a peptide represented by a specific amino acid sequence; an antiviral composition comprising a fusion peptide in which the peptide and a cell-penetrating peptide are coupled to each other; a composition comprising the aforementioned compositions for preventing or treating a viral infection; and a health functional food composition for prevention or alleviation of a viral infection. In the present invention, a AGM peptide ligand and mutants thereof were found to inhibit viral proliferation and replication (in vitro and in vivo), as screened by an MAP synthesis method and an OBOC combination method. Therefore, NCL-targeting AGM can find advantageous applications in antiviral uses.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel antibacterial peptide and a composition comprising the same as an active ingredient. The novel antibacterial peptide of the present invention exhibits excellent antibacterial activity against antibiotic-resistant bacteria as well as Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria and is low in cytotoxicity and, as such, can be advantageously utilized as an active ingredient in an antibiotic, a cosmetic composition, a food additive, a feed additive, a biotic pesticide, a quasi-drug product, and the like.

Abstract: The present invention related to a composition comprising an extract of alder tree or the isolated compounds therefrom for treating and preventing skeleton muscle disease and the use thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel compound and a composition for an anti-diabetes and anti-obesity comprising the same as an active ingredient. The compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof according to the present invention selectively and specifically acts as an agonist of GPR39, activates the mechanism of glucose-dependent insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells, and significantly increases glucose tolerance and an anti-diabetic effect, and therefore can be utilized as a composition for improving, preventing, or treating diabetes mellitus. In addition, the compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof according to the present invention acts on GPR39 so as to have lipolytic ability in adipocytes and adipose tissue, and therefore can be utilized as a composition for improving, preventing, or treating obesity.
