1. A compound of the formula (I): wherein: X represents an —NHC(O)—, —C(O)—, —OC(O)—, —CH2— or —SO2—; and R1 together with the carbonyl group and nitrogen alpha to the carbon to which it is attached, represents a phenylalanine, leucine or valine residue; R2 together with the carbonyl group and nitrogen alpha to the carbon to which it is attached, represents a leucine, iso-leucine, phenylalanine, threonine, valine or nor-valine residue; R3 together with the carbonyl group and nitrogen alpha to the carbon to which it is attached, represents a threonine or leucine residue; R4 together with the carbonyl group and nitrogen alpha to the carbon to which it is attached, represents α,γ-diaminobutyric acid or a serine residue; R5 represents
C0-12 alkyl(C4-6 heterocyclyl), orC2-12 alkyl or C0-12 alkyl(C3-8 cycloalkyl) wherein the alkyl or cycloalkyl bears:
i) one, two or three hydroxyl groups, orii) a —NR6R7 group, oriii) one —NR6R7 group and one or two hydroxyl groups, R6 represents hydrogen or C1-4 alkyl; and R7 represents hydrogen or C1-4 alkyl, R8 represents hydrogen or methyl, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. |
