Abstract
Tic, short for 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid, is a kind of unnatural α-amino acids. Due to its distinct geometrical conformation and biological activity, the structure of Tic, regarded as the surrogate of proline and the rigid analogue of phenylalanine or tyrosine, has been introduced into many compounds, which target diverse enzymes or receptors. The most successful example is that substituting the Tic residue for the proline residue of enalapril led to an approved drug quinapril. In this review, we will summarize the applications and modifications of Tic in peptides and peptidomimetics design and discovery, and hope to spark medicinal researchers inspiration in the field of protein and peptide drug design and optimization.
Keywords: 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (Tic), opioid ligands, farnesyl transferase inhibitors, integrin antagonists, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, prolyl endopeptidases inhibitors, endogenous mammalian, opiod receptor antagonists, linker, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, addiction, eating disorders, glycoprotein receptors, immunosupressant

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
