Severe COVID-19 is characterized by pro-inflammatory cytokine release syndrome (cytokine storm) which causes high morbidity and mortality. Recent observational and clinical studies suggest famotidine, a histamine 2 receptor (H2R) antagonist widely used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease, attenuates the clinical

We synthesized and experimentally tested the passive permeability of more than thirty tetrapeptides mimicking the N-terminus of the pro-apoptotic protein Smac (Second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases). Each peptide bore one or two unnatural Hydrogen Bond Acceptor-bearing Amino Acid (HBA-AA) residues
