Abstract
Abstract Despite the fact that natural products are attractive resources for the discovery of drug candidates, the screening processes often not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also high risk to obtain potent molecules. We have previously devised a new means to reprogram the genetic code, which allows us to express macrocyclic peptides using a custom-made in-vitro translation system. Its integration with the mRNA display technique has also led to the development of a means of selecting bioactive macrocyclic peptides, referred to as RaPID (Random non-standard Peptide Integrated Discovery) system. This lecture will describe some of recent examples for the discovery of such natural product-inspired macrocycles and pseudo-natural products with their therapeutic applications.
