Stabilized β-Hairpin Peptide Inhibits Insulin Degrading Enzyme.
Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) plays a critical role in both the proteolytic degradation and inactivation of insulin. The exploration of novel IDE inhibitors could aid in the study of novel therapeutics for type-2 diabetes. Herein, we report a hypothesized stabilized β-hairpin peptide that can efficiently inhibit the enzymatic activity of IDE. The resulting stabilized peptide B35 is demonstrated to activate the AKT phosphorylation pathway in skeletal muscle cells and is shown to slow insulin degradation.
