Peptidomimetics-a potential promise for drug discovery.

A Peptidomimetic is a compound with non-Peptidic structural elements that can imitate or block the biological effect of a Peptide at receptor level.Peptidomimetics invoke both structure and function.Peptides as a such are associated with remarkable biological properties,but prone to proteolytic digestion and show delivery hindrance in pharmaceutical applications.peptidomimetics improve stability,specificity and bio-availability.peptidomimetic has potent application as drugs,neurotransmitters,hormones and physiological modulators.this technique s applied widely in cancer treatment and antiviral drug discovery.
