The invention is in the field of molecular medicine. It provides antagonistic compounds for frizzled-1 and/or friz-zled-2 receptors which may be useful in molecular imaging of the wound healing process after myocardial infarction and in thera-peutic intervention into wound healing after remodeling of the heart, thereby ameliorating the consequences of myocardial infarc-tion. The invention provides a method for antagonizing frizzled-1 or frizzled-2 receptors wherein the receptor is contacted with a composition comprising a linear fragment of Wnt3(a) or Wnt5a or a functional analogue thereof which comprises at least one cys-teine residue, one threonine residue, one aspartic acid residue and one glycine residue.

La présente invention concerne le domaine de la médecine moléculaire. Elle concerne des composés antagonistes des récepteurs Frizzled-1 et/ou Frizzled-2 qui peuvent se révéler utiles pour l'imagerie moléculaire du processus de cicatrisation des plaies après un infarctus du myocarde, ainsi que pour un traitement thérapeutique de la cicatrisation des plaies après un remodelage cardiaque, ce qui permet d'améliorer les conséquences d'un infarctus du myocarde. L'invention concerne une méthode permettant d'antagoniser les récepteurs Frizzled-1 ou Frizzled-2, la méthode consistant à mettre le récepteur en contact avec une composition contenant un fragment linéaire de la protéine Wnt3a ou Wnt5a, ou un analogue fonctionnel de celle-ci, qui comporte au moins un résidu de cystéine, un résidu de thréonine, un résidu d'acide aspartique et un résidu de glycine.
