Thiocarbazate building blocks enable the construction of azapeptides for rapid development of therapeutic candidates

The rapid protease degradation of peptides is currently limiting their therapeutic utility. Here, the authors report functionalised thiocarbazate scaffolds as precursors of aza-amino acids that can be integrated in peptide sequences, extending their bioavailability, and demonstrate this on FSSE/P577...
