Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Compounds comprising peptides capable of binding C3 protein and inhibiting complement activation are disclosed. These compounds display greatly improved complement activation-inhibitory activity as compared with currently available compounds. The compounds comprise compstatin analogs having a constrained backbone at position 8 (glycine) and, optionally, specific substitutions for threonine at position 13.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A modified compstatin peptide (ICVVQDWGHHRCT (cyclic C2-C12); SEQ ID NO:1), in which the Gly at position 8 is N-methylated to constrain the backbone conformation of the peptide at that location, and comprising one or more additional modifications selected from: a) acetylated N-terminus; b) Ala instead of His at position 9 of the peptide; c) Trp or an analog of Trp instead of Val at position 4 of the peptide; d) halogenated Trp at position 7 of the peptide…
