<p>Cyclic dimeric peptides of formula (1) wherein: peptide 1 and peptide 2 independently represent a tetrapeptide of formula -AA1-AA2-AA3-AA4- juxtaposed in parallel or antiparallel orientation; AA1 is an L or D amino acid selected from Ile, Leu and amino analogues thereof selected from Pro, Gly, Tic and Phe; AA2 is an L amino acid selected from Leu and amino acid analogues thereof selected from Ile, Phe and Val; AA3 is an L amino acid selected from Asp, Glu and amino acid analogues thereof; AA4 is an L amino acid selected from Val and amino acid analogues thereof selected from Leu, Ile, Phe and Cha (cyclohexylalanine); L1 and L2 independently represent linking moieties for linking peptides 1 and 2 to form a cyclic dipeptide; or salts thereof. The cyclic dipeptides inhibit the interaction of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and fibronectin with integrin very late antigen 4 and have therapeutic applications such as in rheumatoid arthritis, asthma or multiple sclerosis.</p> |
