CA 2673791

Peptides having four to fourteen residues are disclosed that possess biological activity. These peptides constitute short fragments of the peptide HB-107 (SEQ ID NO:1), which itself is a fragment of the antimicrobial protein cecropin B, and exhibit cell stimulatory, migratory and anti-inflammatory properties. As keratinocytes are especially sensitive to these effects, the disclosed peptides comprise a useful agent for the medical treatment of injury to the skin, such as from diabetic ulcers. The peptides also are effective in preventing and reversing skin surface damage resulting from various environmental insults. Importantly, the therapeutic effects of the peptides manifest at concentrations equal to or greater than those of peptide HB-107, and thus represent a less expensive, more versatile means for developing effective therapies. Methods for the production and use of these peptides are also disclosed.

L'invention concerne des peptides présentant 4 à 14 résidus et une activité biologique. Lesdits peptides constituent de courts fragments du peptide HB-107 (SEQ ID N°1), lui-même un fragment de la protéine antimicrobienne cécropine B, et possèdent des propriétés de stimulation cellulaire, des propriétés migratoires et anti-inflammatoires. Comme les kératinocytes sont particulièrement sensibles à ces effets, les peptides décrits constituent un agent utile pour le traitement médical des blessures de la peau, comme celles causées par les ulcères diabétiques. Lesdits peptides sont donc efficaces pour la prévention et l'inversion des dommages causés à la surface de peau par diverses agressions extérieures. Il faut souligner que les effets thérapeutiques des peptides se manifestent à des concentrations égales ou supérieures à celles du peptide HB-107 et représentent donc un moyen moins onéreux et plus flexible de développer des thérapies efficaces. Des procédés de production et d'utilisation desditspeptides sont également décrits.
