The present invention relates to polypeptides which are covalently bound to molecular scaffolds such that two or more peptide loops are subtended between attachment points to the scaffold. In particular, the invention describes peptides which are high affinity binders of membrane type 1 metalloprotease (MT1-MMP). The invention also describes drug conjugates comprising said peptides, conjugated to one or more effector and/or functional groups which have utility in imaging and targeted cancer therapy.

The present invention provides methods of making α4β7 peptide monmer and dimer antagonists. Methods of the present invention include solid phase and solution phase methods, as well as synthesis via condensation of smaller peptide fragments. Methods of the present invention further include methods directed to the synthesis of peptides comprising one or more penicillamine residues.

Provided are peptide nucleic acid derivatives targeting a 3′ splice site of the human SNAP25 pre-mRNA. The peptide nucleic acid derivatives potently induce at least a splice variant of the human SNAP25 mRNA in cells, and are useful to safely treat dermatological indications or conditions involving the expression of the human SNAP25 protein by topical administration.
