A living world is inconceivable without the presence of peptides. These seemingly small biopolymers play a major role in biological systems. Peptide hormones and neurotransmitters are the body’s main regulators. Peptide chemistry is interdisciplinary in nature and has established a good and effective relationship between disciplines such as biochemistry, molecular biology, pharmaceutical chemistry and biotechnology. It also has good potential for connection with the construction of micro-reactors, bioreactors and control engineering. Therefore, the next century has been named as the century of biological codes, and among these, peptides have found a special place due to the natural structure, diversity of biological properties, drugs and toxicity effects.

The family of peptide compounds also has a wide variety of medicinal properties, so that currently more than 240 peptide samples are in the final clinical stages and will soon occupy a large volume of the pharmaceutical market.

In view of the above, the Peptide Chemistry Research Institute has placed three research groups in its organizational chart entitled “Biocatalysts and Natural Peptides Research Group”, “New Pharmaceutical Peptides Research Group” and “Peptide Synthesis Research Group”. Accordingly, the Peptide Chemistry Research Institute is currently able to synthesize the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) of the GnRH family of peptide drugs (Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone) as well as a large number of peptides with analgesic properties. Also, in recent years, by combining peptide chemistry and chemistry of biologically active heterocyclic compounds, various compounds with biologically effective properties have been synthesized in this research institute, among which we can mention the binding of analgesic heterocyclic compounds to the enkephalin peptide chain. According to the available capabilities as well as the requirements of the country, if you wish to do any of the requested items, more details will be provided.
