    Abstract: The present invention provides a series of tripeptides according to the compound of formula (I) that inhibit the interaction of both HIF-1α and HIF-2α with HIf-1 β by binding to the PAS-B domain of the α subunit of HIF. The tripeptides and methods disclosed herein are useful in treating diseases or conditions that involve the response to hypoxia.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to inhibitors of HIF-1 and HIF-2 and uses thereof. The present invention further relates to the inhibitors for use in treatment of diseases. An isolated polypeptide is provided, that prevents dimerization of HIF-1 α with HIF-1 β and HIF-2α with HIF-1 β and/or inhibits the activity of HIF-1 and HIF-2, wherein the polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence C-X1-X2-X3-Z-X4 (SEQ ID NO 1) and wherein XI, X2, X3 and X4 are any amino acid and wherein Z is leucine, valine of isoleucine or a non-natural derivative or leucine, valine or isoleucine. The isolated polypeptide prevents dimerization of HIF-1 α with HIF-1 β and HIF-2α with HIF-1 β and inhibits the activity of HIF-1 and HIF-2 by binding to HIF-1 α or HIF-1 β and/or HIF-2α or HIF-Ιβ.

    Abstract: The invention provides a non-toxic method for producing cyclic peptides within a mammalian cell, comprising the steps of a) introducing a vector into the mammalian cell, wherein the vector comprises a construct encoding a C-terminus intein domain, a polypeptide sequence to be cyclised, an N-terminus intein domain, and a degradation tag, wherein the degradation tag is attached to at least one intein domain, and b) expressing the construct to produce an intermediate comprising an active intein and the polypeptide sequence, wherein the active intein, once formed, undergoes splicing and cyclises the polypeptide and wherein the degradation tag degrades the active intein. The invention further provides a cyclic peptide library produced according to this method, and the incorporation of the non-toxic cyclic peptide-producing construct of the above method into a genetic construct, a vector, or a mammalian cell.
