The present invention relates to novel peptides useful as anti-cancer agents. The compounds of the invention are of Formula (I): A - B - D - E - F - G; A, B, D, and E are .alpha.-amino acid residues. In one embodiment, F is an azacycloalkanecarboxylic acid residue. In this embodiment, G is a monovalent radical, for example, a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, or a heteroaryl group. In another embodiment, F is an azacycloalkyl group and G is a heteroaryl group connected to F by a carbon-carbon bond. In another embodiment, the invention includes a method for treating cancer in a mammal, such as a human, comprising administering to the mammal an effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) in a pharmaceutically acceptable composition.
