Abstract: The invention relates to non-proteolysable oligopeptides that inhibit glycoprotein 41 of the AIDS virus. More specifically, the invention relates to the identification of oligopeptides, particularly hexapeptides, (D), (L) or mixed, preferably D-hexapeptides, which inhibit the binding of a retrovirus to a target cell, thereby providing novel therapies against infection from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The invention also relates to the use of said D-hexapeptides in the form of single components or complex mixtures as prophylactic or therapeutic agents for retroviral infections, especially human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1).

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I) as well as to drug conjugates based on compounds of formula (I) acting as apoptosis inhibitors, as well as to processes for their preparation, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use in medicine.

Abstract: The peptide has a sequence of 3 to 30 adjacent amino acids from the amino end of protein SNAP-25 and is useful as neuronal exocytosis inhibitor. The cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions contain said peptide and optionally one or more peptides from the carboxyl end of SNAP-25. The compositions are suitable for the treatment of facial wrinkles, asymmetry and pathological neuronal exocytosis-mediated pathological disorders and alterations.
