USE OF ERYTHROPOIETIN-DERIVED PEPTIDE THROUGH EFFECT ON CELL DAMAGE PREVENTION THEREOF

摘要

A peptide according to the present invention has a simple structure compared to existing natural human erythropoietin, thus being able to easily pass through a tissue-blood barrier, has excellent bioactivity with respect to cell-protecting activity, has a low manufacturing cost, thus being economically advantageous, and does not have side effects on cell proliferation. Accordingly, a pharmaceutical composition containing the erythropoietin-derived peptide according to the present invention as an active ingredient may be usefully used for preventing or treating cell damage-related illnesses, such as stroke, mechanical damage or ischemic damage to the nervous system, myocardial infarction, retinal damage, and diabetes, and as a pharmaceutical composition for preventing cell damage.
