In vivo biocompatibility of soft-tissue implants is often hampered by development of capsules that eventually might contract and impair implant function. It has been shown that capsule formation can be significantly reduced by using materials with textured surface elements in the micron range. In th

✦ Synopsis
The clavicepamines are lysine-rich basic proteins isolated from saprophytic culture of ergot (Claviceps purpurea), having human pharmacological importance.
Based on structure determinations, it was demonstrated that the 1-lysine (poly)peptides are the fundamental structural units of clavicepamines.
To study the relationship between chemical structure and biological effect, solution and solid-phase synthesis of lysine isopeptides were performed. Poly-1-lysines were synthesized with polycondensation via application of p-nitrophenylester temporarily protecting groups together with simultaneous activation. The biological investigations of poly-1-lysines showed a cell-proliferation retarding effect, so they inhibit growth of some animal tumors, practically without toxic side effects.
