CYCLIC ANGIOTENSIN ANALOGS

摘要

The invention relates to analogs of angiotensins, in particular to cyclised analogs having Ang(1-8) agonistic or antagonistic activity and to cyclised Ang(1-7) analogs with agonistic or antagonistic activity and displaying improved proteolytic resistance compared to their linear counterparts. Provided is a cyclic angiotensin peptide analog comprising a thioether-bridge linkage between the amino acids corresponding to positions Tyr4 and Pro7 in naturally occurring Angiotensin. Also provided is the use of analogs in therapy, for example hypertension.
