Drug discovery's success lies in potent inhibition against a target and optimum pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic properties of drug molecules. Membrane permeability is a crucial factor in determining the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and exc...
Developing effective antibiotics against Gram-negative bacteria remains challenging due to their protective outer membrane. With this study, we investigated the relationship between antibiotic permeation through the OmpF porin of and antimicrobial e...
Cyclic peptides are gaining attention for their strong binding affinity, low toxicity, and ability to target "undruggable" proteins; however, their therapeutic potential against intracellular targets is constrained by their limited membrane permeabil...

Membrane permeability of drug molecules plays a significant role in the development of new therapeutic agents. Accordingly, methods to predict the passive permeability of drug candidates during a medicinal chemistry campaign offer the potential to ac...
For medicines, the apparent membrane permeability coefficients (P) across human colorectal carcinoma cell line (Caco-2) monolayers under a pH gradient generally correlate with the fraction absorbed after oral intake. Furthermore, the in vitro P value...
For efficient drug discovery and screening, it is necessary to simplify P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrate assays and to provide in silico models that predict the transport potential of P-gp. In this study, we developed a simplified in vitro screening m...

Cronobacter sakazakii (Cs) is a typical foodborne bacterium that infect powdered infant formula (PIF) worldwide. In this study, a recombinant antimicrobial peptide, branded as Funme peptide (FP)was applied to protect PIF from Cs contamination. The re...
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) facilitate the transport of pharmacologically active molecules, such as plasmid DNA, short interfering RNA, nanoparticles, and small peptides. The accurate identification of new and unique CPPs is the initial step to ...
