Use of peptides for promoting wound healing
View Patent ↗The current invention relates to the use of a peptide comprising an amino acid sequence in the preparation of a medicament for the regeneration of tissue, preferably for the treatment of a wound. Further the invention relates to compositions comprising such peptides, and use of said peptides in both medical and nonmedical (cosmetic) applications.
1. A peptide for treating wounds consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein the peptide is a cyclic peptide.
2. The peptide of claim 1 , wherein the peptide is a L-peptide.
3. The peptide of claim 1 , wherein the peptide is a dimer or multimer of SEQ ID NO: 2.
4. The peptide of claim 1 , wherein the peptide is conjugated.
5. The peptide of claim 1 , wherein the conformational freedom of the peptide has been constrained by chemical treatment.
6. The peptide of claim 5 , wherein conformational freedom of the peptide has been constrained by cross-linking or disulfide bonds.
