Abstract: Seryl-lysyl-based peptide and peptidomimetic compounds are described as inhibitors of the enzyme N-myristoyl transferase to provide selective control of the fungal organism Candida albicans. Peptidomimetic compounds of particular interest are those of the formula: wherein R1 is selected form aminoalkyl, p-aminoalkylphenylalkyl, imidazolylalkylphenylalkyl, 2-alkylimidazolylalkylphenylalkyl, benzimidazolylalkylphenylalkyl and 2-alkylbenzimidazolylalkylphenylalkyl; wherein R2 is selected from hydrido, alkyl, cycloalkyl, akenyl, alkynyl, haloalkyl, benzyl, alkylphenylalkyl, alkoxyphenylalkyl, halophenylalkyl, phenethyl, cycloalkylalkyl, halocycloalkylalkyl, alkylcycloalkylalkyl, alkoxycycloalkylalkyl and naphthylalkyl; wherein Y is selected from carboxylic acid, hydroxamic acid, phosphonic acid and tetrazolyl; or a pharmaceutically-acceptable salt, amide or ester thereof. Compounds of the formula are species-specific inhibitors of C.

Abstract: The present invention discloses novel pharmaceutical compositions having steroid nitrate ester(ONO.sub.2) derivatives, and to their use treating undesired smooth muscle contractions and inflammatory diseases.
