Research Abstract
The emphasis of Parang's research lies at the interface between chemistry and biology with specific proposals being focused in the fields of organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, nanomedicine, and drug delivery. Our research can be appropriately described as "the application of synthetic organic chemistry to problems in biology". Specific areas currently under investigation include (1) using peptides as cell-penetrating molecular transporters in drug delivery; (2) designing protein kinase inhibitors; (3) development of multifunctional anti-HIV, anticancer, and antibacterial agents; and (4) designing peptide nanomaterials for nanomedicine. One major area currently under investigation is to design peptide nanomaterials for applications in drug delivery


Parang research is focused on using cyclic peptides as cell-penetrating molecular transporters in drug delivery. His laboratory has discovered a number of cyclic peptides that enhanced delivery of anticancer and antiviral drugs, siRNA, and phosphopeptides. It is expected that this strategy will lead to a broadly applicable platform for carrier-mediated selective delivery of cell-impermeable compounds.

Parang laboratory is designing and evaluating peptides, peptide nanomaterials, and peptide-capped metal nanoparticles as cell-penetrating nuclear targeting agents, molecular transporters of bioactive cell-impermeable compounds, or self-assembled scaffolds for drug delivery applications. We have discovered a number of amphiphilic cyclic peptides that enhanced cellular delivery of anticancer and antiviral drugs, siRNA, and phosphopeptides. Cyclic peptides offered several advantages including stability, nuclear delivery, endocytosis-independent uptake, low cytotoxicity, biocompatibility, hydrophobic drug entrapment through non-covalent interactions, selective targeting of tumor tissues. It is envisioned that cellular delivery by functionalized cyclic peptides will improve the stability, cellular uptake, biological activities, and active targeting of cell-impermeable compounds, such as anticancer and antiviral drugs and siRNA, with limited solubility, permeability, or stability.
