PEPTIDE DERIVATIVES WITH THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITY

摘要

Dipeptide compounds containing a histidine residue proved to have interesting blocking activity on secondary products from lipid oxidative stress, in particular on unsaturated aldehydes such as malondialdehyde and hydroxynonenal, which are known to contribute to the inset of quite a number of chronic pathologies such as neurodegenerative, inflammatory chronic, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes complications and cataract.
