Abstract: Systems and methods for treatment of squamous cell carcinoma or other cancer utilizing targeting peptides are described. The targeting peptides interact with SCC cells or other cancerous cells to block or interfere with 14-3-3? heterodimerization or CDC25A binding to 14-3-3?. A peptide composition embodiment includes, but is not limited to, at least one of a first targeting peptide comprising a structure of Trp-Tyr-Trp-Lys-NH2 (SEQ ID NO: 1), a second targeting peptide comprising a structure of phospho-Ser178; Ac-Thr-Gln-Arg-Gln-Asn-Ser-(PO32?)-Ala-Pro-Arg-Met-Leu-Ser-Ser-Asn-NH2 (SEQ ID NO: 2), and a third targeting peptide comprising a structure of phospho-Thr507 residue; Ac-Arg-Thr-Lys-Ser-Arg-Thr(PO32?)-Trp-Ala-Gly-Glu-Lys-Ser-Lys-Arg-NH2 (SEQ ID NO: 3).

Abstract: A method for identifying a compound that has a biocidal effect against a selected organism involves screening from among known or unknown peptide or non-peptide molecules, a test molecule that binds selectively to a target sequence of a multi-helical lid of a heat shock protein of the organism. The binding of the test compound inhibits the protein folding activity of the protein. A specific embodiment of such a method is useful for identifying or designing a pharmaceutical or veterinary biocidal or antibiotic compound, preferably a pathogen and/or strain-specific compound. For this purpose, the compound does not bind to a heat shock protein that is homologous to the mammalian subject to be treated with the compound. Screening methods can encompass direct binding or competitive assays. Molecules or compounds identified by these methods are employed as biocides for pharmaceutical, veterinary, pesticide, insecticide and rodenticide uses, among others.
