Abstract: The present invention comprises cyclic peptides bearing antitumor and antiangiogenic properties, as well as their corresponding pharmaceutically-suitable salts and also pharmaceutical compositions containing it. These cyclic peptides are used to prepare medicines for human and/or veterinary therapeutics, and additionally in diagnosis. These compounds can be used to detect, monitor and/or control a range of cellular proliferation-related disorders, such as oncological diseases and undesired angiogenesis. Moreover, they can be included as part of controlled release systems, and used more precisely in the field of nanobiotechnology, either because of their self-assembly capacity or as part of other systems.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a composition capable of inhibiting the growth of tumoral cells of different histological origins and of activated endothelial cells. The components of said compositions are polypeptide fragments of the serralisins, corresponding to the C-terminal fragment, from the internal metionine trough the end of the molecule, which could be combined among them and optionally with the prodigiosins that potentiate the antitumoral effect of the composition. The prodigiosins in the composition could be at a concentration of 0.1-100 nM. The anti-proliferative action of this composition is mediated by apoptotic mechanism. It's “in vivo” administration has antitumoral, antiangiogenic and protective effect against malignant tumors.
