| Abstract | Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a member of the human epidermal growth factor receptor kinases and is involved in a signaling cascade for cell growth and differentiation. It is well established that HER2-mediated heterodimerization has important implications in cancer. Deregulation of signaling pathways and overexpression of HER2 is known to occur in cancer cells, indicating the role of HER2 in tumorigenesis. Therefore, blocking HER2-mediated signaling has potential therapeutic value. We have designed several peptidomimetics to inhibit HER2-mediated signaling for cell growth. One of the compounds (compound 5, Arg-[3-amino-3(1-napthyl)-propionic acid]-Phe) exhibited antiproliferative activity with IC50 values in the nanomolar to micromolar range in breast cancer cell lines. To further investigate the structure-activity relationship of the compounds, various analogs of compound 5 were designed. Conformational constraints were initiated in the peptidomimetic with introduction of a Pro residue in the peptidomimetic sequence. Results of antiproliferative activity indicated that analogs of compound 5 with C-and N-terminal ends capped (compound 16) and compound 9 with Asp at the C-terminal exhibited antiproliferative activity in the lower micromolar range against breast cancer cell lines. Introduction of conformational constraints such as Pro residue in the sequence or cyclization did not enhance the activity of the peptidomimetic. Competitive binding studies were carried out to evaluate the binding of potent peptidomimetics to HER2-overexpressing cancer cell lines. Results indicated that compounds exhibiting antiproliferative activity in breast cancer cell lines bind to the cells that overexpress HER2 protein. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
