Patent

CA 2696833

The invention provides methods for the treatment of disease and promotion of healing that include providing a therapeutically effective amount of a mammalian antimicrobial peptide (AMP) or analog thereof, in particular a cathelicidin or cathelicidin fragment or cathelicidin analog, thereby treating the disease in the subject in need thereof. The invention also provides specific analogs or fragments of cathelicidin that function as agonists, as do endogenous cathelicidins, or as either dominant negatives or as inhibitors to endogenous cathelicidin or to other endogenous AMPs or that compete with pro- inflammatory agents or fragments of AMPs on cognate receptors without inducing disease.

La présente invention concerne des procédés permettant de traiter une maladie et d'accélérer la cicatrisation, qui consistent à obtenir une quantité thérapeutiquement efficace d'un peptide antimicrobien mammalien (PAM) ou d'un analogue de celui-ci, en particulier une cathélicidine ou un fragment de cathélicidine ou un analogue de cathélicidine, et de traiter de ce fait la maladie chez le sujet nécessitant le traitement. L'invention concerne également des analogues ou des fragments spécifiques de cathélicidine qui agissent en tant qu'agonistes, ainsi que le font les cathélicidines endogènes, ou en tant que dominants négatifs ou en tant qu'inhibiteurs de cathélicidine endogène ou de tout autre AMP endogène, ou qui font concurrence à des agents pro-inflammatoires ou des fragments d'AMP sur des récepteurs de même origine sans induire une maladie.
