Abstract
APN is an important zinc dependent metallo-exopeptidase, which can degrade the extracellular matrix, and plays an important role in tumor invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis. it has been considered as a suitable target for anti-cancer drug design. Recently, research of structure-based APN inhibitors is becoming an interesting field, and many APN inhibitors have been reported. Here we review a series of APN inhibitors and the recent progress in this field.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
