Abstract: The present invention relates to new optically pure compounds displaying an improved anticancer activity compared to previously known complex mixtures of stereoisomers thereof. Such compounds are of formula (I): wherein each X independently represents any amino acid; n is 0 or 1; m is an integer between 0 and 3; k is an integer of at least 3; Psi is a reduced bond of formula replacing the peptide amide bond between Lys and Pro; and wherein Lys residues in pseudopeptide units of said compound of formula (I) are either all in L configuration or all in D configuration. A method for preparing such compounds, and therapeutic uses thereof are also provided. The synthetic method involves the selective reduction of the peptide bond between Lys and Pro in a dipeptide intermediate with borane. The therapeutic uses are against cancer, inflammation and for wound healing.
