PEPTIDE CAPABLE OF BINDING TO INTERLEUKIN-1b-CONVEPEPTIDE CAPABLE OF BINDING TO INTERLEUKIN-1b-CONVERTING FERMENT (ICE) AND A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIRTING FERMENT (ICE) AND A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION CONTAINING IT ON CONTAINING IT

摘要

The present invention relates to a peptide capable of binding to ICE, which peptide consists essentially of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 reported in the Sequence Listing, in which Xaa is selected between Asp and Ala, optionally containing one or more amino acids at its N-terminal and/or C-terminal end (including 19-40 amino acds). It also relates to the use of the above peptide, for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions active in pathologies requiring ICE inhibition.
