An amide to thioamide substitution improves the permeability and bioavailability of macrocyclic peptides

Abstract Solvent shielding of the amide hydrogen bond donor (NH groups) through chemical modification or conformational control has been successfully utilized to impart membrane permeability to macrocyclic peptides. We demonstrate that passive membrane permeability can also be conferred by masking t...
