Abstract
Peptidomimetics represent a unique class of future therapeutics with many potential applications in modern medicine. By structurally and functionally mimicking the key characteristics of endogenous peptides, various structural variants of peptidomimetics are designed, synthesized and evaluated for numerous biological activities. Advances in the area of drug design through peptidomimetics have resulted in many therapeutically potential candidates in preclinical as well as clinical trials. This review covers the strategies for the design, syntheses and applications of peptidomimetics.
