Abstract
The Natural Peptides to Drugs congress, held in Zermatt, Switzerland, included topics covering new therapeutic developments in the field of peptide- and protein-based drugs derived from natural products. This conference report highlights selected presentations on drug discovery from natural peptides, natural peptide-based drugs in preclinical and clinical development, and peptide candidates. Investigational drugs discussed include novel small peptides from KAI Pharmaceuticals Inc, XEP-018 (Atheris Laboratories), MKC-253 (MannKind Corp), AEZS-108 (AEterna Zentaris Inc) and XG-102 (Auris Medical AG/Xigen SA).
