Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Invasion-inhibiting peptides comprising either a modified cysteine (where the sulfur atom is modified with a alkyl group or other suitable group), and/or b) D-amino acids, for the treatment “cancer” in humans and animals. Such peptides can be used together with other therapies (e.g. radiation) to enhance the therapeutic benefit and reduce invasiveness.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition, comprising a peptide which has an amino acid sequence consisting of PX 1 SX 2 N (SEQ ID NO:5), where X 1 is the D-isomer of histidine, and X 2 is the D-isomer of cysteine, and P, S and N are all L-isomers. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein said peptide's amino terminus is blocked with a first group, and said peptide's carboxyl terminus is blocked with a second group, in order to render the peptide more resista…
